A truck mounted attenuator (TMA), from a place like A1 Roadlines Pty. Ltd, is a critical safety system which should be used by road crews when working on the highway to carry out road repairs and accident rescues. A TMA will help to prevent collisions between other road traffic and the work crew by highlighting their presence using lights and reflective signs. If a collision does occur, a TMA is designed to protect the work crew by absorbing the impact of another vehicle. TMAs are either fixed to a vehicle or detachable. Below are three benefits of using detachable TMAs.

Detachable TMAs can be used on your current trucks

Buying new trucks which come fitted with a TMA is an expensive option, which may make you think twice about investing in the technology. However, one of the main benefits of using a detachable TMA is that you can save money by fitting them to the current trucks in your road repair or rescue fleet, meaning that you do not need to spend money buying brand new trucks in order to protect your workers.

Detachable TMAs can offer post-accident protection

Imagine that one of your trucks in involved in an accident and the TMA is damaged. If the truck is fitted with a fixed TMA which cannot be removed, the vehicle and your workers face the risk of secondary collisions without any protection. If the truck is fitted with a detachable TMA, you will be able to remove the damaged unit, replacing it with a new TMA so that the site has post-accident protection against secondary collisions.

Detachable TMAs allow your trucks be used for a variety of jobs

Investing in a detachable TMA will allow you to change the setup of your trucks so they can be used to perform a range of different tasks. Whereas a truck with a permanent TMA can only be used for a limited range of road repair and protection duties, a truck with a detachable TMA can be used for a range of applications. This will allow you to get the most out of the equipment you have.

There is a wide selection of truck mounted attenuators on the market. If you are unsure, which type of TMA is right for you, or if you would like to find out more about the benefits of fitting detachable TMAs to your fleet of vehicles, you should contact a professional TMA business today for further help and advice.

About Me

Hello, my name is Jack and I recently set myself a challenge. Although I had very limited knowledge of the world of business, I decided I was going to learn all I could so that one day I might become a business leader who ran his own company. At the moment, that is still a dream as I still work in an office for someone else. However, for the past six months, I have been visiting various different types of business so I could spend some time learning from people who understand how different businesses operate. I hope you enjoy my blog.
