Road Systems, Inc. (RSI)

Road Systems Inc. (RSI) set the standard for MASH TL-3 compliant tangent terminals with the MSKT, which has been installed all across the United States as well as Internationally. Building on the success of both the MSKT and the NCHRP 350 FLEAT, RSI offers their MASH 2016 Test Level 3-compliant flared terminal: the MFLEAT. The MFLEAT features the same field-proven technology as the FLEAT system, along with the same ease of installation our FLEAT customers have enjoyed for years. In addition, some MFLEAT parts are interchangeable with RSI’s MSKT tangent MASH terminal.

The MSKT’s impact head can be used on existing in-place NCHRP 350 SKT systems for maintenance repairs. These systems will need to be maintained for many years to come. By being able to use the MSKT impact head for maintenance of both these systems and new MASH installations, only the MSKT impact head will need to be inventoried. In addition, all of the W-Beam and the cable anchor bracket, cable, and some of the posts are the same for the MSKT MASH system and the NCHRP 350 SKT system.

Road Systems, Inc. is proud to announce the MBEAT — the only MASH 2016-compliant Box Beam Terminal in the market! The MBEAT builds upon the success of the NCHRP 350 BEAT, which has thousands of installations, and uses the same field-proven technology as its predecessor. The MBEAT (MASH BEAT) is a roadside energy-absorbing terminal used to protect the ends of 6″ x 6″ roadside box beam barriers that have been designed and tested under MASH criteria. It is supported by two steel breakaway end posts connected by a strut and standard 3″ x 5.7# I-beam weak posts. The MBEAT is approximately 15 feet long and has a rail height of 2′-4″. The additional energy-absorbing capacity is achieved as the impact head activates the standard downstream box beam sections.
