Sometimes, errant cars were almost penetrated by the defective designed terminal end when unavoidable impact happened. Thereby, the reasonable design is important to reduce damage to the vehicle and may save the life of its occupants. After a series of experimentation and test, guardrail terminal ends are well-designed by our company for providing a soft impact and keeping the vehicles free of being speared by terminal ends.
