Raptor™ Utility Pole and Tree Protector

The Raptor™ is the world's first safety device designed to reduce the severity of errant vehicle impacts with utility poles or trees.

The unique Raptor™ is fully recyclable and is a highly compact alternative solution to a full scale crash cushion, especially at sites where space is limited.

It offers exceptional vehicle control and energy absorbing capabilities in head-on impacts (where the energy is absorbed by internal plastic cartridges) and in side-on, angled impacts where the vehicle is redirected safely.

The Raptor™ is also available for hire. This is an ideal temporary solution that meets NCHRP 350 TL-1 crash test criteria. See our Hire section for more information, click here.
