Made specifically of materials designed to absorb and dissipate the energy of a colliding vehicle, our Truck Mounted Attenuators help minimize the hazards of road construction work for workers, drivers and equipment.
A **Truck Mounted Attenuator (TMA)** is a safety device attached to the rear of a truck, designed to absorb the kinetic energy of a colliding vehicle, protecting both road workers and drivers during highway construction or maintenance operations. The TMA features a crash cushion, typically made of a combination of metal frames and impact-absorbing materials like aluminum or high-density polyethylene, engineered to collapse in a controlled manner upon impact. This reduces the severity of collisions by decreasing the force transferred to both vehicles, thereby minimizing damage and potential injury.
Mounted on support vehicles often positioned at the back of work zones, TMAs also include bright warning signs, lights, and reflective markings to enhance visibility and alert approaching drivers to roadwork. TMAs are crucial in creating safer environments in high-speed traffic zones and are commonly used in highway construction, bridge maintenance, and other roadside operations.
