 QUADGUARDŽII
CRASH CUSHION
QUADGUARDŽII CRASH CUSHION family has evolved again! Using the existing
framework of the QuadGuard, the QuadGuard II provides TL-2 and TL-3
protection using less length.
The TL-2 QuadGuard II is 25% shorter
than the original QuadGuard measuring less than 3m (10’). The TL-3
model is also nearly a meter, 3 feet, shorter than its predecessor.
The only modifications are the addition of the revolutionary
Steel Nose, and the monorail Guide Stabilizers. The remaining
components are identical to the existing NCHRP 350 systems that have
been installed globally since the mid 1990’s.
The QuadGuard
II will telescope rearward on head-on impacts by both the light car
and the high center-of-gravity pickup truck at speeds up to 100 km/h
(62 mph) and safely redirect errant vehicles on impact up to 20
angles into the side of the unit without gating.
