As we’ve noted before, there are more than 220,000 of the nation’s highway bridges in need of structural repair, rehabilitation work, or replacement. That’s almost one-third of the more than 618,000 bridges throughout the United States.
When this vital infrastructure work is being done, traffic can’t be simply stopped or even re-routed in many cases. Indeed, the typical project requires a certain amount of traffic control and maintenance of traffic.
And this means an essential need for traffic control equipment services.

TMA Truck Rental and TMA Rental Equipment – Traffic Control Safety Services
Also known as safety trucks, crash trucks, or impact attenuator trucks, Truck Mounted Attenuators (TMA) are designed to ensure the safety of the driver, workers, and pedestrians.

In a typical traffic control operation, the TMA vehicle should be the first vehicle encountered by motorists.

The Scorpion TMA Model C conveniently folds up and over the bed of dump trucks, flat bed, or stake bed trucks. The Model C provides an efficient and compact design with balanced weight distribution that makes it ideal for high-speed travel. The Scorpion TMA is also available with side mounts.
