Crash Cushion

Product Description

REACT-350 is self-restoring Crash Cushion that absorbs the energy using smart plastic cylinders made of high molecular weight, high-density polyethylene (HMW/HDPE) plastic, they typically regain up to 90% of their original shape after an impact. REACT—meets requirements of NCHRP-350 Test Level-3 as a re-directive, non-gating crash cushion.

The REACT- 350 of Crash cushions is designed for permanent and work zone sites where impacts are expected more than 3 times per year or where traffic congestion and maintenance management is the concern for work crews.
