Brifen Battery/Hydraulic Spreader
- Roadway/roadside
Innovation
High tension cable barriers can be dangerous to repair by hand. This hydraulic spreader is one of two types of mechanical options MDOT has recently purchased to repair its Brifen High Tension Cable Barriers. This spreader, produced by the same manufacturer as the cable barrier, runs on a lithium ion battery and can help maintenance crews make repairs quickly and safely.
Benefit and Implementation
This spreader tool offers to improve worker safety and reduce the amount of time required for repairs.
