TrafFix Scorpion II TMA - World's First MASH Eligible TMA


The Scorpion II TMA from TrafFix Devices is the world's first MASH Tested, Passed, and Eligible Truck Mounted Attenuator.

The Scorpion II TMA consists of strut and cartridge sections that are linked together on a support frame. The curved side rails are made from corrosion-resistant aluminum tubes, which offer full-width impact protection along the entire length of the unit. The side rails were designed to redirect errant vehicles away from the rear of the truck (coffin corner). Other manufacturer's Crash Attenuator models have little or no side-angle impact protection.

The aluminum boxes are filled with a moisture-proof, aluminum honeycomb material. The boxes, together with the curved side rails, absorb the energy from an impacting vehicle. The aluminum boxes are painted with a bright yellow powder-coated finish, for lasting durability.
