Universal TAU-M Crash Cushion

The Universal TAU-M is a MASH TL3 compliant crash cushion designed to shield the blunt ends of concrete barriers and other hazards. Featuring energy absorbing cartridges, the Universal TAU-M is supplied as a pre-assembled unit to facilitate rapid installation, limiting the time workers spend on the roadside and minimising disruption to traffic.

The Universal TAU-M is fully re-directive and non-gating, providing safe vehicle containment and ride-down decelerations. The system can be secured directly to a concrete pad or asphalt road surface.
