CrashGard® Sand Barrel System

Overview of CrashGard® Sand Barrel System

The CrashGard® sand barrel system, offered by New England Barricade, Sign & Safety, is a non-redirective, gating sand barrel or crash cushion designed to absorb and dissipate the energy from vehicle impacts. It serves as a vital safety component in roadway work zones and permanent installations by protecting drivers from colliding with fixed objects such as concrete barriers, bridge abutments, and lighting fixtures.

This system consists of three MASH-compliant components: the barrel, lid, and insert — all engineered for reliable performance and durability. Request a quote today for your next project.
