The firm’s latest SMA 100 crash cushion is claimed to offer the best performance characteristics in its class and features reduced dimensions, stability and high functionality. The firm says that the SMA 110 is particularly resilient and has proven able to cope with impact speeds of up to 130km/h in trials, while meeting the EN 1317 requirements.
