Truck Mounted Attenuators (TMAs) are primarily used in work zones on highways to protect highway workers and drivers from the dangers of collision. Some specific applications of TMAs include
Shields workers and vehicles from high-speed traffic, ensuring a safer work environment.
Used on high-risk road segments, such as bridge approaches, median openings, and toll plazas, to prevent severe damage during collisions.
Ideal for use in detours, road maintenance zones, and high-traffic intersections to guide and protect vehicles.
Enhances safety at urban traffic hotspots prone to frequent collisions.
The Ador Big Sandy Sand Barrels are crucial for reducing the severity of vehicle crashes, particularly in high-speed environments. By absorbing and attenuating impact energy, they minimize damage to vehicles, protect drivers, and reduce harm to surrounding infrastructure. These barrels are a critical component of Advanced Traffic Management Systems (ATMS), offering unparalleled reliability for temporary and permanent road safety implementations.
The Ador Big Sandy Lifting Ring is a specialized handling accessory engineered to ensure safe and efficient movement of filled sand barrels. Constructed from lightweight aluminum, the lifting ring weighs just 62 lbs and is designed to attach to various equipment, such as forklifts, truck-mounted cranes, or knuckle booms.
