The Armco Fish Tail End is a curved terminal that fits to the end of Armco crash barrier beams to create a safer, finished termination point. By removing sharp beam edges and introducing a low-profile deflection shape, these ends reduce the chance of injury or vehicle damage in the event of low-speed or glancing contact.
These end pieces are typically installed at the end of straight or curved barrier runs in parking lots, loading zones, industrial perimeters, or anywhere crash barriers terminate near pedestrian walkways or vehicle areas. Their smooth taper helps redirect minor impacts and creates a clearly visible end cap for both drivers and workers.
- Improved safety – Reduces exposed steel edges that may cause injury or damage.
- Impact control – Curved edge deflects contact to limit structural damage.
- Standard fixings – Installs with 8 x M16 x 1.38 in Lap Bolts for easy connection.
- Durable and rust-resistant – Galvanized steel construction for outdoor durability.
- Compatible with full HERMEQ system – Works with all standard Armco beams and post types.
Fish Tail Ends are essential for safe termination of crash barriers in public or commercial settings. They are typically paired with Straight Corrugated Beams, Curved Beams, and mounted on either RSJ or Z-Posts using lap bolts. Install at each run end for visual continuity and legal safety compliance.
These ends can also be combined with Barrier Corners or Pedestrian Ends depending on site layout and traffic type.
HERMEQ stocks a wide range of Armco components to support your barrier layout, including Straight Corrugated Steel Beams, Fish Tail Ends, and Pedestrian Ends enabling complete site protection.

Use Fish Tail Ends to ensure your Armco barriers don’t end in exposed steel, especially in parking lots, warehouse surrounds, public buildings or access routes. These curved beam caps meet modern workplace and traffic site safety expectations and form an integral part of your site protection strategy. Quick-fit design makes them easy to install during initial builds or retrofit upgrades.
HERMEQ’s full modular Armco system supports custom layouts, and these finishing ends allow safe system termination in both straight and curved runs without compromise to structural stability or visibility.
What does a Fish Tail End do?
It caps off an Armco barrier run, removing sharp ends and improving impact deflection at the termination point.
Is this required for all barrier systems?
It’s highly recommended for exposed ends near vehicle traffic or pedestrian routes to reduce injury and liability risk.
What bolts are needed for installation?
Use 8 x M16 x 1.38 in Lap Bolts to secure the Fish Tail to the final beam.
Can I use this with curved barriers?
Yes. Fish Tail Ends are compatible with both straight and curved HERMEQ barrier beams.
