Abstract:This work has focused on the fabrication and implementation of the MBT-1 Beam which is a
truck mounted, moveable, expandable beam that provides positive work zone protection
comparable to a fixed concrete barrier. It is specifically intended to enhance worker safety
when carrying out shoulder repair in work zones adjacent to guardrails, inlet repair, bridge
rails, bridge deck repair, sound walls and other work where workers are normally exposed to
traffic or behind cones in limited work areas for several hours. Usually the shadow vehicle or
the truck mounted attenuator provides protection from rear end collisions; the new device
provides protection from adjacent lane traffic.
The MBT-1 is designed to provide positive, steel beam protection system for exposed
workers who normally work behind temporary cones and barrels in limited work areas. The
MBT-1 was developed by Mobile Barriers, LLC. The device is currently implemented by New
Jersey DOT in East Hanover, N.J, among other states.
