Truck Mounted Attenuators

Truck Mounted Attenuators

Truck Mounted Attenuators (TMAs) are vehicles equipped with energy-absorbing barriers designed to enhance highway safety by protecting workers and minimizing the severity of crashes in work zones. These systems, typically mounted on trucks, act as a crucial buffer between highway workers and oncoming traffic, absorbing collision energy to reduce the risk of injuries and fatalities.

The need for TMAs arises from the inherent dangers of work zones, where construction-related factors can lead to accidents. TMAs not only increase safety but also enhance traffic flow, reduce property damage, offer cost-effective solutions, and provide flexibility in deployment. In summary,

TMAs play a vital role in safeguarding both workers and drivers in highway work zones, ultimately improving overall highway safety. 

The benefits of using TMAs include

Increased safety

TMAs provide a physical barrier between highway workers and oncoming traffic, reducing the impact energy in the event of a collision and helping to prevent serious injuries or deaths.

Improved traffic flow

TMAs can help reduce congestion in work zones, improving traffic flow and making highways safer for everyone.

Reduced property damage

TMAs can help prevent damage to construction equipment and vehicles in the   event of a collision, reducing the cost of repairs and downtime.

Cost-effective

Compared to other types of highway safety barriers, TMAs are relatively low-cost and easy   to install, making them a cost-effective solution for highway safety.

Flexibility

TMAs can be easily relocated and deployed in different work zones, providing a flexible   solution for highway safety.In summary, the use of Truck Mounted Attenuators (TMAs) can greatly improve highway safety and reduce the risk of serious injury or death to highway workers and drivers.

Application of truck-mounted attenuators ( TMA )

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

Road construction

TMAs can be used to protect workers and drivers in road construction sites where lane shifts, reduced speeds, and heavy equipment are present.

Maintenance

TMAs can be used to protect workers and drivers during maintenance activities on highways, such as paving, striping, and cleaning.

Emergency response

TMAs can be used to protect first responders and drivers during emergency situations on highways, such as accident scenes and road closures.

Event management

TMAs can be used to protect workers and drivers during special events, such as parades, festivals, and road races.

Temporary barriers

TMAs can be used as temporary barriers for lane closures and detours, helping to ensure the safety of workers and drivers in these areas

Now, you can also utilize our TMA on a rental basis. For more information, please feel free to call or email us
