Sand-Filled Crash Cushion Attenuator Barrels
Highway Gore Point & Bridge Pier Sand-Ballasted Impact Cushion Barrels
Technical Overview & Aerodynamic Stability
Step-graduated sand-filled impact barrels engineered to safely decelerate errant vehicles at speeds up to 110 km/h. Designed for temporary placement at highway gore points, bridge pier columns, and concrete barrier ends across Ontario highway networks.
Across high-speed 400-series Ontario expressways and major arterial reconstructions, standard lightweight traffic markers fail under heavy transport truck aerodynamic drag. Our Sand-Filled Crash Cushion Attenuator Barrels rental fleet incorporates an engineered low-center-of-gravity ballast geometry with vulcanized micro-tread rubber bases that grip asphalt and concrete surfaces securely, preventing hazardous creep into active live traffic lanes.
