Lindsay said it recently installed its first unit of its MASH-tested TAU-XR Xpress repair crash cushion, designed for swift installation and rapid repair.

The installation of the TAU-XR was in Las Vegas, Nevada, at the intersection of Highway 91 and Great Basin.

Lindsay said that as a severe-duty, low-maintenance crash cushion, it delivers exceptional, long-term durability and low cost of ownership. TAU-XR ships fully assembled, allowing for an expedited installation onsite.

The TAU-XR offers a range of transition options up to 52 inches (1m), ensuring maximum versatility in design. Lindsay says that what sets the TAU-XR apart is its dual-rail configuration and attenuation that enables a straightforward, 30-minutes or less installation process and cost-effective repairs.

"The TAU-XR embodies our dedication to enhancing road safety while streamlining maintenance operations,” said Cole Hansen, vice president and general manager of infrastructure at Lindsay. "We're proud to offer a solution that has undergone rigorous testing for both asphalt and concrete applications, making the TAU-XR an ideal choice for contractors."

Lindsay Transportation Solutions manufactures equipment to improve road safety and keep traffic moving on the world’s roads, bridges and tunnels, through the Barrier Systems, Road Zipper and Snoline brands.
