Lindsay Unveils the Road Runner™ Truck-Mounted Attenuator

In a significant stride towards road safety, Lindsay Corporation has just introduced its latest innovation—the Road Runner™ Truck-Mounted Attenuator (TMA). This cutting-edge device is set to transform the landscape of work zone safety and operational efficiency in the transportation sector.

A Leap in Safety Standards

Inspired by customer feedback and designed to surpass the limitations of older TMAs, the Road Runner™ promises to enhance durability, accelerate deployment times, and incorporate innovative features that ensure crew safety while maintaining operational efficiency. Built to meet MASH TL-3 standards and manufactured from heavy-gauge aluminum, this advanced TMA is engineered to withstand side impacts from various roadside obstacles such as guardrails and concrete barriers. This robust design minimizes downtime and reduces the need for costly repairs, allowing trucks to stay operational longer, which ultimately cuts maintenance costs.

Innovative Design Features

Speed and efficiency are vital in work zone settings, and the Road Runner™ excels in both areas. The unit can be deployed and stowed in under 30 seconds. Its vertical storage capability frees up valuable truck bed space, while the simple single hinge point design simplifies hydraulics by minimizing potential failure points. Furthermore, it incorporates several safety-first features, ensuring there are no interferences with arrow boards and crafted to protect taillights, providing easy access for routine maintenance.

A standout feature of the Road Runner™ is its open-grid structure, which enhances wind resistance and fuel efficiency—critically important attributes for vehicles operating in diverse weather conditions. Its universal mounting system allows for quick retrofitting on existing TMA trucks, ensuring that customers can benefit from its innovative design without the need for entirely new fleet purchases.

Industry Approval and Future Prospects

Cole Hansen, Vice President and General Manager of Infrastructure at Lindsay Corporation, emphasized the transformative nature of the Road Runner™: “This is a remarkable advancement for our industry. By actively listening to our customers, we’ve engineered a solution that offers unparalleled durability, efficiency, and safety, effectively setting a new benchmark for today’s roadways.”

The official debut of the Road Runner™ is scheduled for ATSSA 2026 in Houston, Texas, an event where attendees will have the opportunity to experience firsthand this revolutionary innovation in roadway safety.
