Safebuild New Roller Barrier System Will Enter the U.S Market

Safebuild Traffic Facilities Co., Ltd has introduced a new roller crash barrier system designed to reduce the risk of collision. The system, which meets the requirements of the United States and Europe for guardrail, is assembled from PU/EVA, polyurethane roller drums and galvanized steel post and beams, and has been well proven in the Chinese and Korean markets. Safebuild has supplied the highway rotating guardrail collision avoidance systems to other Asian countries including Malaysia, the Philippines and Thailand, as well as to customers in Latin America, including Chile, Colombia, Ecuador and Mexico.

At present, Safebuild rolling barrier products have not yet entered the U.S market, but according to the senior management of Safebuild, it has been negotiated with the U.S on the roller crash barrier system and several states are considering installing this roller crash barrier system. Rotating guardrail system is most suitable for installation in the bend or high-risk places such as curves, highway entrances and exits and rotating rolling barrier can provide the end of the accident processing. Safebuild company technology research and development personnel said: “the key lies in the material for the absorption of EVA roller which can reduce the impact of the force.”

When a vehicle is driving at high speed and collides with the roller crash barrier, the vehicle speed will be reduced due to the impact absorbing properties of the roller. The roller crash barrier system also allows the vehicle to be deflected at a smaller angle, which results in less injury than traditional highway barrier types. This means that the vehicle is more easily controlled after a collision and less likely to be involved in a secondary collision, according to Safebuild. The rotating crash barrier system is said to be ideally suited to the types of vehicles used in the US market, with Safebuild company stating that “the product works well in countries with a high number of pickup trucks.” 

The color of  roller is yellow, but colors such as grey, red and green are also available from Safebuild company.
