MAX-Tension Tangent TL-3
The MAX-Tension TL3 is a redirective, gating tension based end terminal designed for W-Beam guardrail. The system includes an energy absorbing impact head, two tensioned cables, ground anchor assembly and couplers with built-in cutting tooth technology. The slim design reduces interactions with maintenance vehicles. The MAX-Tension TL3 absorbs energy by creating friction in the tension cables and cutting the downstream guardrail panels. During side impacts, the MAX-Tension TL3 acts as a guardrail and redirects vehicles away from the roadside hazard.
