Scorpion II Trailer Attenuator Arrow Board

Description

The Towable Attenuator (TA) is a mobile crash cushion designed with a trailer tongue and axle/wheel that connects directly to the support vehicle’s trailer connection and from a lunette eye on the attenuator. The TA can be used on support vehicles with a minimum actual/curb weight of 12,000 lbs with no upper weight limit (infinite weight). The TA has overall dimensions of 17.8 ft (5.4 m) x 8 ft (2.4 m) x 4.3 ft (1.3 m) with ground clearance of 12.0 in ± 1.0 in (305 mm±25 mm). The TA consists of three main components: the trailer tongue, front Strut, and rear Cartridge. The trailer tongue is positioned nearest to the support vehicle, the Strut is bolted to the tongue and Cartridge. The Cartridge is the rear most component, furthest away from the support vehicle. The trailer tongue acts as a standard single point connection under normal towing conditions. The trailer tongue is designed with an integral Telescoping Anti-Rotation System (TARS) that is activated when the TA is impacted.
