Product & Installation Manual: MAX-TensionTM TL-2
System Overview
The MAX-Tension™ TL-2 Guardrail Terminal
System (MAX TL-2) is a redirective, non-
gating tension-based end terminal for
corrugated W-Beam barrier systems in tangent
congurations. The MAX TL-2 system has been
tested and evaluated per the recommendations
set forth in the Manual for Assessing Safety
Hardware (MASH) Test Level 2 tests at 70 km/h.
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 conjunction
with standard W-Beam guardrail panels, post,
blockouts, and hardware.
The MAX TL-2 is applied directly to W-Beam
guardrail systems at, or transitioned to 787mm
with panels and post spacing congured at mid-
span splice. Transitions to strong post W-Beam
guardrail systems or other barriers where the
splice is not mid-span can be accomplished
using a 1.00m panel after the MAX TL-2 system
[minimum of 7.62m downstream of the rst
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 TL-2 system [minimum
of 7.62m downstream of the rst post].

Product & Installation Manual: MAX-TensionTM TL-2
Preparation
The MAX-Tension™ TL-2 Guardrail Terminal
System (MAX TL-2) is a redirective, non-
gating tensioned-based end terminal for
corrugated W-Beam barrier systems in tangent
congurations. The MAX TL-2 is applied directly
to W-Beam guardrail systems at, or transitioned
to, 787mm with panels and post spacing
congured at mid-span splice. Transitions to
strong post W-Beam guardrail systems or other
barriers where the splice is not mid-span can
be accomplished using a 1.00m panel after
the MAX TL-2 system [minimum of 7.62m
downstream of the rst 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 TL-2
system (minimum of 7.62m downstream of the
rst post).
Before installing the MAX TL-2 system, ensure
that all the materials required for the system are
on site and have been identied.
Soil Conditions
The MAX-Tension™ TL-2 system has been
designed to be installed in soil that meets
or exceeds the AASHTO “standard soil”
specication. If the specic site soil conditions
differ from those specied in the AASHTO
standard soil specication, 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 backlling the hole. Extra care
must be taken to prevent settlement and lateral
displacement of the posts. Backll material
should be compacted to optimum compaction
using a tamper, per Local requirements.
IMPORTANT NOTES:
>Ensure the MAX-Tension™ TL-2 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™ TL-2
system directly to a rigid barrier (e.g. concrete
barrier, steel barrier, concrete structure)
without proper transition.
>The term Upstream = Towards the impact
head.
>The term Downstream = Away from impact
head.

Product & Installation Manual: MAX-TensionTM TL-2
Site Grading
All testing was completed on a relatively at and controlled testing environment. Ensure proper site
grading prior to installation of the MAX-Tension™ TL-2 system in accordance with Federal, State and
Local specications, in addition to the AASHTO Roadside Design Guide.

Product & Installation Manual: MAX-TensionTM TL-2
System Offset Requirements
The MAX-Tension™ TL-2 system is a tangent terminal that shall be installed parallel to the edge of
the roadway. The system may be installed offset away from the roadway if specied 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™ TL-2 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-Tension™ system
should always be installed in a straight line over
the length of the system.
Panel Lapping
The MAX-Tension™ TL-2 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 trafc.
Failure to follow this lapping pattern can result in
serious injury or death.
