US barriers

Although there are quite a variety of mobile barriers, we mainly classify them into 2 types: EURO and US.

This division is based on the description of the mobile barrier frame or its basic structure, related to the wheelbase and track width.

In US barriers, the frame structure is usually based on a wheelbase of 2591 mm and a track width of 1880 mm.

The ERNST emergency braking system is installed on each mobile barrier and acts on all wheels to avoid a second collision.

Properties

  • Brake lines are completely integrated into the frame to avoid damage during testing or handling
  • Calibrated and certified center of gravity and moment of inertia
  • Individual adaptation in any propulsion system
  • Height-adjustable front shield
  • Threaded holes throughout, on top and bottom of frame, to allow use of customer-specific equipment at any time
  • Center marking for easy alignment with the propulsion system
