MAX-Tension™ System Overview
The MAX-Tension™ Guardrail Terminal System (MAX™) is a re-directive,

gating tension-based end terminal for corrugated W-Beam barrier systems
in tangent configurations. The MAX system has been tested and evaluated
per the recommendations set forth in the Manual for Assessing Safety Hard-
ware (MASH) Test Level 3 tests at 100 km/h (62.5 mph). The system utilizes
tensioned cables and a cutting tooth to absorb kinetic energy and safely
contain or redirect an impacting vehicle.
The system is comprised of a friction-based energy-absorbing impact head,
two tensioned cables, a releasable Post 1, a ground anchor assembly and an
energy-absorbing coupler with integrated cutting tooth used in conjunc-
tion with standard AASHTO 12-gauge guardrail panels, post, blockouts, and
hardware.
The MAX is applied directly to W-Beam guardrail systems at, or transitioned
to, 31 In. (787mm) with panels and post spacing configured at mid-span
splice. Transitions to strong post W-Beam guardrail systems or other barri-
ers where the splice is not mid-span can be accomplished using 3 Ft. 1-1/2
In. (0.95m), 9 Ft. 4-1/2 In. (2.85m), or 15 Ft. 7-1/2 In. (4.75m) panels after
the MAX system [minimum 50 Ft. (15.25m) downstream of the first post] in
accordance with Federal, State, and Local standards. Transitions to other
barrier systems such as thrie beam or rigid bridge or roadside barriers shall
be in accordance with Federal, State, and Local requirements and attached
after the MAX system [minimum 50 Ft. (15.25m) downstream of the first
post].

Preparation
The MAX-Tension™ Guardrail Terminal System (MAX™) is a re-directive, gat-
ing tensioned-based end terminal for corrugated W-Beam barrier systems
in tangent configurations. The MAX is applied directly to W-Beam guardrail
systems at, or transitioned to, 31in. [787mm] with panels and post spacing
configured at mid-span splice. Transitions to strong post W-Beam guardrail
systems or other barriers where the splice is not mid-span can be accom-
plished using 3ft. 1-1/2in. [0.95m], 9ft. 4-1/2in. [2.85m], or 15ft. 7-1/2in.
[4.75m] panels after the MAX system (minimum 50ft. [15.25m] downstream
of the first post) in accordance with Federal, State, and Local standards.
Transitions to other barrier systems such as thrie beam or rigid bridge
or roadside barriers shall be in accordance with Federal, State, and Local
requirements and attached after the MAX system (minimum 50ft. [15.25m]
downstream of the first post).
Before installing the MAX system, ensure that all the materials required for
the system are on site and have been identified.
Documentation
Prior to installation and assembly of the MAX-Tension™ system, ensure you
have read and understand the installation and assembly instructions. The
following items should be reviewed and understood prior to installation.
• Installation and Assembly Manual (Current Revision)
• Installation and Assembly Video, Mobile App - The Lindsay Guide App is
available as a free download from the Apple Store® and Google Play™.
• Installation and Assembly Video, Online - Full installation videos can be
viewed online at http://lindsay.guide.com .
• System Drawing (Current Revision)

Soil Conditions
The MAX-Tension™ system has been designed to be installed in soil that
meets or exceeds the AASHTO “standard soil” specification. If the specific
site soil conditions differ from those specified in the AASHTO standard soil
specification, the installation should be reviewed and approved by the
Project Engineer. If rock or stiff soil is encountered, the posts and soil anchor
may be installed by auguring and backfilling the hole. Extra care must be
taken to prevent settlement and lateral displacement of the posts. Backfill
material should be compacted to optimum compaction using a tamper, per
Local requirements.
Important Notes
• Ensure the MAX-Tension™ system is properly transitioned in accordance
with Federal, State, and Local standards when attaching any other type
of barrier system other than corrugated W-Beam.
• Do not attach the MAX-Tension™ system directly to a rigid barrier
(e.g. concrete barrier, steel barrier, concrete structure) without proper
transition.

Site Grading
All testing was completed on a relatively flat and controlled testing environ-
ment. Ensure proper site grading prior to installation of the MAX-Tension™
system in accordance with Federal, State and Local specifications, in addi-
tion to the AASHTO Roadside Design Guide.

System Offset Requirements
The MAX-Tension™ system is a tangent terminal that shall be installed par-
allel to the edge of the roadway. The system may be installed offset away
from the roadway if specified and approved by the Project Engineer. If off-
set, the system shall be offset over the entire length of the system from the
center of the last splice to the Soil Anchor.

Curve Installations
The MAX-Tension™ system SHALL NEVER be installed within a curved
section of guardrail. It is recommended that the guardrail be extended past
the curve before the installation of the MAX-Tension™ system. The MAX-Ten-
sion™ system should always be installed in a straight line over the length of
the system.
Panel Lapping
The MAX-Tension™ system is a tension-based system that slides backwards
upon impact. For the panels to slide properly, panel 1 must lap over panel
2, panel 2 must lap over panel 3, panel 3 must lap over panel 4 and panel
4 must lap over the existing rail system. This applies to both approach end
and trailing end terminals, no matter the direction of traffic. Failure to follow
this lapping pattern can result in serious injury or death.
11
Parts Identification
Use only Lindsay Transportation Solutions parts that are specified
by Lindsay Transportation Solutions for use with the MAX-Tension™ Guardrail
Terminal System. Do not use or co-mingle parts from other systems, as such
configurations have not been tested nor have they been approved for use. The use of
unspecified parts is prohibited and could result in severe personal injury or death.

Notes
Long-Term Storage
Store materials under cover in dry, well-ventilated conditions, away from
doorways open to the environment.
Provide adequate ventilation between stacked pieces. Elevate and separate
articles stacked outdoors with spacers (poplar, ash, spruce).
Incline parts to allow for Maximum Drainage.
Avoid stacking material directly on soil or decaying vegetation.
For crated items, remove the lids to provide better ventilation and drying of
the galvanized parts. Customers will need to remove kits packed in card-
board boxes from the crates and store them inside.
