Attenuators are crucial safety devices used in road construction and maintenance to absorb the impact of vehicles, reducing the severity of collisions. They are typically placed in front of fixed objects such as barriers, bridge piers, and work zones to protect both motorists and workers. These devices come in various forms, including truck-mounted attenuators and crash cushions.
Consider the type of projects you typically handle, the speed and volume of traffic in those areas, and the specific safety requirements mandated by local regulations.
Choose a reliable shipping company experienced in transporting heavy equipment. Ensure the attenuator is securely packed and protected to prevent damage during transit.
Regular inspections are essential to ensure the attenuator is in good working condition. Check for any signs of wear or damage and replace parts as necessary. Follow the manufacturer’s guidelines for detailed maintenance procedures.
