Crash barriers are vital safety installations designed to prevent vehicles from veering off the road or colliding with hazardous objects. They serve as a critical component in road safety, reducing the severity of accidents and protecting both occupants and pedestrians. By absorbing and redirecting the impact energy, crash barriers help to mitigate the consequences of collisions, making roads safer for everyone.

Among the various types of crash barriers, the W Beam crash barrier is one of the most common and effective. The W Beam crash barrier, named for its distinctive ‘W’ shape, is constructed from metal and is known for its durability and resistance to impact forces. These barriers work by deforming upon impact, which absorbs and dissipates energy, thereby reducing the force of the collision and guiding the vehicle back onto the road. The design of the W Beam barrier allows it to effectively handle a range of impact scenarios, making it a preferred choice for highways, roads, and other high-traffic areas.

Our wide selection of Class H1W3 compliant W Beam metal crash barrier products are manufactured using raw materials obtained from leading industry players such as TATA, SAIL, Hindustan Zinc, and others. All of our products are extensively tested and quality assured. As a leading W beam crash barrier manufacturer, we customise our products to meet and exceed client requirements while adhering to European, American, and Indian regulations (including Euro-standard product testing).

The designation ‘H1W3’ for crash barriers is part of a standardised classification system used to define the barrier’s performance and compliance with safety regulations.

H1: This part of the classification indicates the impact severity level that the barrier can withstand. ‘H1’ refers to a low severity impact level. Barriers classified as H1 are designed to handle impacts from vehicles at lower speeds and with lower energy levels, typically used in areas with lower traffic speeds and reduced risk of high-speed collisions.

W3: The ‘W’ in the classification stands for ‘W Beam,’ which is the type of barrier. The number ‘3’ indicates the performance level regarding the barrier’s ability to redirect and contain vehicles. The W3 designation denotes a high level of containment and redirection capability, ensuring that the barrier can effectively manage the impact forces and guide vehicles back onto the road without allowing them to penetrate or cross the barrier.
