Crash Cushion Vehicle

Centaur supplies crash cushion vehicle which are paramount for safety when working near roads.

A crash cushion vehicle is intended to reduce injuries and to save lives of motorists and construction personnel in work zones. It acts as a protective cushion device intended to absorb high-energy kinetic impact.

Crash cushion vehicles are parked on the roads in front of work location with warning signs and road diversion / lane block signage to indicate and alarm the motorists to reduce speed and to exercise caution about the work in process.

Crash cushion vehicles / truck-mounted attenuators (TMA), are mounted on specially fabricated trucks to be struck from behind, and absorb vehicle impact. State work zone regulations often specify a minimum buffer barrier between the attenuator truck and the work area, and a minimum mass for the TMA truck, to minimize the chances that it will be pushed forward by a crash into the workers or machinery.
