The rolling guardrail barriers were developed by Shawahid Industrial Roads Company and can be considered the future of guardrail barriers and an advanced and effective system for them.
The role of safety roller crash barriers is to absorb the energy generated by vehicles colliding with the barrier and dissipate this energy, as well as to redirect the deviating vehicle back onto the road with minimal damage to drivers, vehicles, and the barriers themselves.
Application of Roller Barrier:
Roller barriers made of solid steel are installed on the sides of roads, tunnels, and can also be installed around poles. The barriers consist of a series of flexible rollers that extend side by side along the length of the barrier, with a small space between each roller.
- Locations of frequent crashes.
- Surrounding traffic light posts.
- Surrounding streetlight posts.
- Forks in roads.
How does the rolling guardrail work?
When a vehicle collides with roller road barriers, the rollers absorb the impact energy due to the flexible materials inside the barriers. The rollers then begin to rotate in the opposite direction of the road and the vehicle’s direction, and as the rollers rotate one after the other, the vehicle is gradually redirected to its correct path on the road.
Features of Safety Roller Barriers:
- Excellent shock-absorbing quality with highly elastic materials in rollers.
- A vertical steel axis allows the rollers to rotate around their axis.
- Reflective film to enhance visibility.
- The rolling guardrail withstands speeds of up to 120 km/h for cars and trucks.
- Compliant with US MASH standards.
- Complies with crash test specifications.
- A team trained and specialized by Shawahid to install barriers with ease.
