King Highway Products has supplied it’s first Vorteq crash cushion trailers to be sold in the UK. They have gone into service with Scottish street sweeper operator William Hamilton and Sons of Larkhall
.
There is a big demand from operators of street sweeping equipment to offer driver protection when operating on main highways and the Vorteq from King Highway Products is the first unit that can be utilized on a sweeper and allow the cushion to be uncoupled when tipping and emptying the sweeper body.
King worked in conjuction with Outreach plc to supply the Vorteq trailer and associated lighting arrow which was installed at the Outreach factory in Falkirk. King has ensured that Vorteq has been fully tested to meet the latest ‘Fourth test’ requirements established by Highways Agency and is fully compliant with TD49/07 requirements.
