Anyone for a cone? * USA - New, automated system to make the job of laying traffic cones safer
Leominster,MA,USA -HGV UK -September 30, 2009: -- Highways chiefs have begun testing a new, automated system designed to make the job of laying traffic cones safer, quicker and more cost-effective... Mounted on a stretched 4×2 Mercedes-Benz Econic chassis, the cone-handling technology was jointly developed by Leominster-based specialist Highway Care and a partner based in the United States... Typical road maintenance closure can entail laying 450 cones, which, because the contractor is invariably working to a tight deadline, must be set in place as quickly as possible... Standard UK-specification cones are also taller and heavier (at 9kg) than those used in Europe and America, so the risk of injury to the two- and three-man crews who have to perform the task manually by dropping cones from the backs of trucks, is high...
