The U-MAD® truck mounted attenuator (TMA) offers outstanding performance, excellent life cycle costs and quick, simple refurbishment. The U-MAD® TMA is available from ACP through its relationship with international road safety specialist Lindsay Transportation Solutions.

They are compulsory in most Australian states.
