Ricochet Longitudinal Barrier
Ideal for events, construction and civil projects.
Product Overview
The Ricochet Longitudinal Barrier is the orange run-length module in the Ricochet MASH TL1 road safety barrier system. Each 2m unit is rotationally moulded from UV-stabilised polyethylene and filled on site with 600 litres of water to deliver certified containment of an errant vehicle at 50 km/h.
The system is tested to MASH standards using 1100 kg and 2270 kg vehicles at a 25° impact angle, with a deflection envelope of 2.28 metres. A compliant installation requires a minimum 45-metre run: at least 20 orange Longitudinal Barriers (40m) plus two yellow Terminal End units and a Terminal End Cap at each end.
