A truck attenuator, also known as a crash mounted attenuator or TMA truck, is an essential safety vehicle used to protect road workers, equipment and motorists in high-risk environments like highway maintenance, lane closures and emergency response zones.
These specially fitted trucks feature an energy-absorbing crash cushion on the rear, designed to reduce the impact force if a vehicle collides with it, helping to prevent serious injury or damage.
Coates’ mounted attenuator units act as a mobile crash barrier, absorbing the kinetic energy of an impact and shielding workers or work zones positioned ahead of the truck. The TMA can also serve as a platform for signage, arrow boards and traffic management equipment, helping to alert and guide approaching motorists.
