Mobile Barriers

How does the Mobile Barriers MBT-1® work? Whether you're an engineer, project manager, or contractor, understanding the MBT-1® makes it easy to see why it's the go-to choice for work zone protection.

Let's break it down:

📏 Step 1 — Attach Caboose
The tractor and caboose attach at either end of the MBT-1® allowing it to be configured to protect a work zone on the left or right side of the road (tractor attaches at either end).

🚛 Step 2 — Attach to Any Standard Semi-Tractor
No special equipment needed. Any standard semi-tractor with 60 inches (1.5 m) of swing clearance works. Commonly paired with a cabover or daycab tractor.

⚡ Step 3 — Deploy in Minutes
Pull the MBT-1® fully set up at highway speeds directly to your work zone. No lengthy and exposed setup. No wasted time. At 62 feet it drives just like a standard semi-trailer.

🛡️ Step 4 — Shield Your Crew
42–102 feet of physical Positive Protection between your workers and live traffic. Minimal deflection. Front, back, and lateral coverage. NCHRP 350 & MASH certified for TL-2 & TL-3.

🔄 Step 5 — Move to the Next Site
When the work is done, drive it fully set up to the next work zone. No lengthy pick up. No delay. Multiple sites covered in a single shift.

🔒 Step 6 — Customize for Your Project
Order it with integrated electrical power, lights, signage, TMA, and more. Lockable on-deck storage included.

💼 Step 7 — Choose How You Acquire It
Buy, lease, or rent — whatever works best for your budget and project timeline.

One system. Rapid setup. Total protection. Built for every project type.

No matter the project, every worker deserves to come back safe.

The Mobile Barriers MBT-1® enables engineers and project managers to rapidly deploy Positive Protection to a wide range of work zones and projects that would otherwise be difficult to protect such as: short-duration projects, bridge & tunnel projects, moving work zones and mobile operations, incident management, and more.

Let's break it down:
🏗️ Short-Duration Work Zones
Occupying a location for up to one hour, these projects provide little time for work zone setup. Mobile, rapidly deployable protection such as the MBT-1® is critical so setup doesn't eat into your work window.

🌉 Bridge & Tunnel Work Zones
These types of work zones are often set up in confined spaces with no escape route for workers. Given the high-risk involved, physical barriers that separate live traffic from workers on all sides (front, back, and lateral) such as the MBT-1® are essential.

🔄 Moving Work Zones or Mobile Operations
Moving continuously or intermittently down the roadway, these activities need protection that moves with them. Highly mobile barrier systems such as the MBT-1® are built exactly for this.

🚨 Incident Management
When an incident occurs, first responders can be exposed immediately. Rapidly deployable positive protection such as Mobile Barriers ERB® can create a safe work area for first responders within minutes of arriving on scene.

🛣️ Long-Term Construction
Extended projects mean extended exposure. The minimal deflection of the MBT-1® helps reduce the number of buffer lanes required. Reducing the number and duration of lane closures with barriers such as the MBT-1® keeps traffic flowing and protects both workers and the traveling public.

📌 For a wide range of projects, Mobile Barriers MBT-1® offers dependable safety for your crew and integrated equipment to increase efficiency. The Mobile Barrier MBT-1® safeguards crews against vehicle incursions (front, back, and sides); reduces the number of vehicles and equipment on-site; enables rapid work-zone setup/removal; improves lighting and ambient conditions; and reduces project duration, thus minimizing roadway congestion. The MBT-1® is highly mobile and can be driven to multiple work zones within the same day. The Mobile Barriers MBT-1® provides 42-102 feet (12-31 meters) of positive protection with minimal deflection (tested and accepted under NCHRP 350 & MASH for TL-2 and TL-3 usage).
