INNOVATIVE SOLUTIONS FOR A SAFER FUTURE
LEONIDAS CRASH CUSHIONS
A crash cushion is an energy absorption device installed in front of one or more hazards to reduce the severity of an impact.
The Leonidas family of crash cushions offers 43 different variants of width and speed performance; offering more choice and more tailored products to suit individual highway applications and hazard size.
There are four versions of Leonidas Crash Cushion available, depending on width required and space on offer; Parallel for hazards in a narrow space, Semi-Wide for slip roads and junction schemes and the Wide and X-Wide for larger and wider, fixed hazards such as large rigid sign poles or wide tunnel entrances.
The simple replacement of the impact absorbing panels after a collision will save maintenance contractors project time and costs. The Leonidas Crash Cushion family are market-leading short system lengths, for applications with limited space - we install where others can't.
Applications
