Choose the ends for your Armco crash barrier based on the situation it’s going into and who’s going to be using the area around it. If the area will have high pedestrian activity, consider the Pedestrian end – with a welded tube on the end and no sharp edges, this reduces the risk of injury if someone was to fall onto or walk into the barrier.
The galvanised Armco fishtail end is one of the most commonly used on crash barriers and is ideal for areas with high levels of vehicular traffic. The design of this crash barrier end ensures that the barrier sweeps back away from traffic, minimising the risk of a vehicle catching an uncovered end. Bear in mind that the fishtail end will add 400mm effective length to a barrier. A yellow plastic fishtail end is also available.
The Armco plastic end cap effectively covers the sharp edges of the crash barrier beam, while improving visibility with its bright yellow colour. This beam end doesn’t add length to the crash barrier so is suited to areas where you’re tight on space.
