Ezy Guard HC (Thrie Beam System)

description

Ezy-Guard HC is the newest member of the Ezy-Guard family. It is crash-tested according to the latest performance standard, MASH Test Level 4.

The Z-post profile shields post edges from vulnerable road users and provides sectional strength when driving through difficult conditions. An Ezy-HC-Carriage is used to secure the Thrie beam rails to the posts, eliminating the requirement for blocking/off-setting pieces and rail-stiffening plates. This unique connection provides a softened impact for the occupants, as well as vehicle containment and redirection.
