TRANZFLEX is again a further development of FLEXBEAM.  It has been successfully tested as a transition between Hill & Smith FLEXBEAM safety barrier and sister company Varley & Gulliver's bridge parapets to EN1317. 

The system offers this transition solution from road-way to bridge-way, and has been designed with gradually closing post spacing.  The transition strengthens as it approaches the parapet, guiding the vehicle in a safe and controlled manner.  The overall length is 16 m.

HA engineered barrier solutions are providing this service, however TRANZFLEX is the first transition barrier of its type to be EN1317 approved for use, and has additional benefits compared to its traditional competitors. 

Similar to FLEXBEAM and developed around the familiar 'Z' shaped post and 'W' beam profile, TRANZFLEX is easy to install with fewer component parts compared to the HA designed transitions and it can be installed with driven posts, eliminating the need for a concrete foundation (unless otherwise required).
