REACT 350 attenuator passed safety tests
as a self-restoring system that can sustain multiple vehicle hits
without requiring repairs or resetting. During testing, the
attenuator withstood three impacts: two by a 4,400-lb. pickup truck
traveling at 62 mph, and the other by a small vehicle weighing
1,810 lbs. Meets TL-1, TL-2 and TL-3 requirements for stopping a
vehicle traveling at 30, 43 or 62 mph, respectively. Contains
high-density plastic cylinders that absorb vehicle impact, while
regaining 90% of original shape and capacity to allow reuse. For
secondary impact protection, cylinders attach to a self-contained
backup system, as well as to new or existing concrete-mounted
backup systems. Quixote
