The Technology of AIRBAR

 

Manual Deployment

When a vehicle is stationary, the driver can activate AIRBAR from within the cab, which helps to create a safer and wider working zone for roadside workers in a live lane who are facing oncoming traffic.

 

Automatic Deployment

When the left turn indicator is activated, the nearside AIRBARS automatically deploy at less than 15 mph, providing a visible warning to cyclists or other VRUs.

 

 

Soft Safety Membrane

The AIRBAR is a brightly coloured inflatable flexible membrane.

 

 

Bright Flashing LEDs

A row of built-in flashing LEDs, when combined with the AIRBARS vividly coloured membrane, provides a very visible warning to other road users.

Inflatable System

AIRBARS use an exclusive air control technology that inflates using compressed air at low pressure and contains a rebound mechanism to recoil.

Selectable Deployment

When working beside a parked car, drivers can activate AIRBARS on the nearside, offside, or both to create a safer area.

 

Indicator Stalk Deployed

When a vehicle is travelling less than 15 mph, the nearside air bars automatically activate when the vehicle turns left at a junction by activating the left indicator stalk.
