MSKT MASH Terminal

The MASH Compliant Sequential Kinking Guardrail End Terminal (MSKT) is a cutting-edge advancement in road barrier technology, building on the legacy of the SKT terminal introduced in 1997. This energy-absorbing, tangential guardrail end terminal is designed to minimize the severity of impacts at the end of road barrier systems.

Key Features and Benefits:

  • Advanced Technology: The MSKT End Terminal is crafted for direct attachment to W-beam guardrail, ensuring compliance with MASH Test Level 3. It represents the latest in guardrail end terminal innovation.
  • Compact and Versatile: Available in two configurations, the MASH TL2 Terminal is ideal for speeds up to 70 km/h, while the standard MASH TL3 Terminal is suitable for higher speeds.
  • Efficient Impact Management: During head-on impacts, the MSKT impact head slides over the W-beam guardrail, which is sequentially kinked to absorb kinetic energy and bring the vehicle to a controlled stop. The bolted hinged posts at locations 1 and 2 yield at ground level, providing a soft impact for both vehicles and occupants.
  • Durable Construction: Built from heavy-duty steel, the MSKT is compatible with various guardrail systems, including RAMSHIELD Guardrail, and provides reliable performance across different applications.
  • Tangential Design: Its tangential design allows for parallel installation to the roadway, reducing installation time and associated costs compared to traditional parabolic-flared designs.
  • High Re-direction Capacity: The MSKT terminal offers 73% higher re-direction capacity in MASH Level 3 (TL3) tests compared to other terminals.

The MSKT End Terminal delivers top-notch performance and efficiency, making it a preferred choice for modern road safety solutions.
