Features

The Trend CEN End Terminal is a steel post, energy absorbing terminal for use with w-beam safety barriers. The steel “breakaway” posts are designed using an innovative concept. The lower post, having a U-Section, is driven into the ground. The upper post, with its U-Section, slides into the lower post and is then secured using a steel tension bolt.
