Crash Cushion Attenuating Terminal (CAT-350)
Purpose: The CAT-350 is an end treatment for W-beam guardrail. It can also be used for concrete barrier if a transition is provided.
Description:The system consists of slotted W-beam guardrail mounted on both sides of breakaway timber posts. Steel sleeves with soil plates hold the timber posts in place.
Functionality: When hit head-on, the slotted guardrail is forced over a pin that shears the steel between the slots. This shearing dissipates the energy of the impact.
Foundation: Concrete footings or foundations are not required.
Slope: 10H:1V or flatter slope between the edge of the traveled way and the near face of the unit.
Manufacturer/Supplier: Trinity Industries, Inc.
