I have seen many a times. Truck mounted Attenuators are of importance while carrying out work on highways. They are the best road safety products.
Great technology, the name of the attenuator itself describes the technology of the product. it's really nice design and the construction with heavy duty tubular side rails will help the truck to balance the weight of the dragged vehicles easily.
