Lindsay introduces MASH crash cushion

Lindsay has launched TAU-M, a partially reusable crash cushion which it says performs to Manual for Assessing Safety Hardware (MASH) standards when installed in asphalt and concrete. TAU-M is expected to help shield temporary, work zone and permanent hazards. The solution includes durable slider panels, free-standing backstops for concrete and asphalt systems, non-proprietary transitions for bi-directional traffic applications and a shift in the placement of anchor points for easier access.
