SCOPE

Plastic barrel filled with sand and used in arrays for providing vehicle crash cushions. The barrels are covered by a plastic lid and have a lifting flange providing anchorage for a lifting ring to move the barrels. Three separate barrels are available. The largest holds 960 kg (2,100 lb.), the second largest holds 640 kg (1,400 lb.) and the third can be filled to 320 kg (700 lb.), 180 kg (400 lb.) and 90 kg (200 lb.). The third size barrel is assembled on site by locking two different sizes of half-barrels together and filling to one of three different fill heights as marked on the barrel.
