System Overview
The QuadGuard
®
Elite M10 Wide is a potentially reusable, re-directive, non-gating crash cushion
for roadside features of 69” [1,753 mm]. It consists of energy-absorbing high density polyethylene
cylinders surrounded by a framework of
Quad-Beam Panels.
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 QuadGuard
®
Elite M10 Wide utilizes three types of Cylinders in a “staged” configuration that
are designed and tested to address vehicles as defined by MASH for both lighter cars and heavier,
high center-of-gravity vehicles.
Impact Performance
The
8 Bay
QuadGuard
®
Elite M10 Wide has successfully passed MASH requirements stipulated
for Test Level 3 tests with both the light car and pickup trucks at speeds of up to
62 mph [100
kph]
at angles up to 25 degrees.
During head-on impact testing, within MASH criteria, the QuadGuard
®
Elite M10 Wide has been
shown to telescope rearward to absorb the energy of impact. When impacted from the side, within
the applicable MASH criteria, it has been shown to redirect the vehicle back toward its original
travel path and away from the highway feature.

authority and its engineer to ensure that the delineation used for the QuadGuard
