System Overview
The REACT 350 ® II is a potentially reusable, re-directive, non-gating crash cushion for roadside
obstacles up to 3’ [914 mm] wide.
Important:
Trinity Highway makes no recommendation whether use or
reuse of any part of the system is appropriate or acceptable following an
impact. It is the sole responsibility of the project engineer and/or the local
highway authority and its engineers to make that determination. It is critical
that you inspect this product after assembly is complete to make certain that
the instructions provided in this manual have been strictly followed.
The REACT 350 ® II utilizes various Cylinder wall thicknesses to accommodate both light cars and
heavier, high-center-of-gravity vehicles.
The REACT 350 ® II consists of a series of “smart plastic” Cylinders attached to a steel Base Track.
The term “smart plastic” refers to the memory characteristics of the Cylinders. After a head-on
impact as described in NCHRP Report 350, the REACT 350
® II has the potential to recover a
major portion of its shape, position, and energy absorbing capability. What constitutes a
potentially reusable highway product should only be determined by a trained engineer,
experienced in highway products, directed by the appropriate highway authority.
Two backup options are available to further meet specific requirements of each location. A Self-
Contained Backup is available or the REACT 350
® II can be mounted to a new or existing
Concrete Backup. In some locations, either Backup type may be applicable.
