TrinityHighway.com 5 Revision J January 2020

Limitations and Warnings

Trinity Highway contracts with FHWA approved testing facilities to perform crash tests, evaluation

of tests, and submit of the results to the FHWA for review.

The SST

was tested to meet the impact criteria, requirements and guidelines of NCHRP Report

350. These tests are designed to evaluate product performance by simulating those impacts

outlined by involving a typical range of vehicles on roadways, from lightweight cars (approx. 1800

lb. [820kg]) to full size pickup trucks (approx. 4400 lb. [2000 kg]).. The SST

is certified to the

Test Level(s) shown below:

Test Level 3: 62 mph [100 kph]

These FHWA directed tests are not intended to represent the performance of systems

when impacted by every vehicle type or every impact condition existing on the roadway.

This system is tested to the test matrix criteria of NCHRP Report 350 as approved by

FHWA.

Trinity Highway expressly disclaims any warranty or liability for injury or damage to persons or

property resulting from any impact, collision or harmful contact with products, other vehicles, or

nearby

hazards or objects by any vehicle, object or person, whether or not the products were

assembled in consultation with Trinity Highway or by third parties.

The SST

is intended to be assembled, delineated, and maintained within specific state and

federal guidelines. It is important for the highway authority specifying the use of a highway product

to select the most appropriate product configuration for its site specifications. The customer

should be careful to properly select, assemble, and maintain the product. Site lay out, vehicle

population type; speed, traffic direction, and visibility are important elements that require

evaluation in the selection of a highway product.

After an impact occurs, the product must be repaired to its original condition as soon as possible.

When a safety product is impacted, it is mandatory that the highway authority inspect all the

components for damage and repair and/or replace components as necessary. If the system is not

repairable, a complete system replacement is required.

Warning:

Do not assemble, maintain, or repair the SST

until you have read this

manual thoroughly and completely understand it. Ensure that all Danger, Warning,

Caution, and Important statements within the manual are completely followed.

Please call Trinity Highway Customer Service if you do not understand these

instructions (p. 3).

TrinityHighway.com 6 Revision J January 2020

Trailer Description

The SST

has been shown to reduce the risk of injury to passengers of an errant vehicle and to

the driver of the truck to which the system is attached when it is impacted within the applicable

NCHRP Report 350 criteria. The system attaches to the rear of a truck and may be used in

stationary applications, such as a truck blocking a work zone or mobile operations, such as

striping, sweeping, plowing, etc.

The SST

consists of the following basic components: A collapsible frame assembly, two

crushable cartridges, an impact face, cylinder hitch assembly, intermediate frame suspension,

wheels and tires (Figures 1 and 2).

Definitions:

The BARRIER VEHICLE is the truck on which a TMA is mounted, while positioned upstream

(towards the direction that traffic is approaching) of a work zone.

The SHADOW VEHICLE is the truck on which a TMA is mounted, which is following behind a

moving operation such as striping, spraying, etc.

Warning: Ensure that no one is near or behind the SST®when in operation.

Warning: Do not operate the SST®while wearing loose fitting clothing which may

become entangled during operation.

Warning: Deploy appropriate traffic-control devices while the SST®is in

operation.

1. It is the operator’s responsibility to ensure hydraulic cylinders are attached to the truck

hydraulic brackets and locked in place with the hairpin cotter pins when the SST®is in the

work zone or being used for protection (Figure 3)

*Trinity Highway recommends the use of a pintle hook with a rating of 20 tons (40,000 lbs.) or

greater.

Important: Check for signs of wear at the Pintle Hook and Receiver as part of

normal vehicle maintenance procedures.

2. The TMA should be securely fastened to the truck. In the horizontal position on level

ground, the bottom of the TMA should be 12” ± 2” [305 mm ± 50 mm] from the ground and

level (Figure 4).

3. Make sure all twenty-four (24) pivot pins are in position and that all retaining pins are

assembled correctly (Figure 5).

4. The SST

is designed to absorb a crash and

to support its own weight if impacted within

the applicable NCHRP Report 350 criteria. Do

not drag the TMA or place anything on its top:

damage may result (Figures 6 and 7).

Caution:

Do not sit, stand or lean on any part of the TMA.

5. Ballast and other heavy objects MUST BE ADEQUATELY ANCHORED to the truck to

prevent shifting during an impact. The force on the tie-down straps could be 20 times the

weight of the ballast (Figure 8).

6. The agency or highway authority responsible for the truck should inspect it for adequate

operator safety equipment (e.g., seat belts, head rests, etc.).

7. Make certain that the applicable highway authority’s current specifications as to TMA

reflectivity are evaluated and complied with. It is the operator’s responsibility to make sure

that all applicable reflectivity standards are met and the appropriate taping of indicators is

placed on the TMA before use on the highways.

8. Make sure that the performance and safety of the SST

is not impaired by damage or

corrosion.

Warning:

Failure to comply with these instructions can result in improper TMA

performance and possible personal injury. This TMA is intended to be used as an

impact attenuator on the rear of trucks which meet the minimum requirements for

this system (p. 13).

9. Regular maintenance of the SST

is important for safe use. Refer to the Routine

Maintenance section of this manual for additional information (p. 33).

a. Regular inspection of frame members, cartridges, and pins is necessary to ensure

proper system performance.

b. Regular inspection of hoses, cylinders, and tires is important. A broken or damaged

hose or cylinder will cause the system to function improperly. Low tire pressure could

cause a blowout.

c. Keep electrical connections clean to prevent arcing. Clean any hydraulic spills or

leakage to prevent bodily injury, fire, etc.

10. This system is a crash cushion and is therefore used in high traffic areas as directed by

the appropriate highway authority. Stay clear of traffic whenever possible. If an accident

is to occur, even during an NCHRP Report 350 criteria impact, there may be fragments

from the truck or impacting vehicle that could cause injury.

11. Do not use any part of the TMA for towing or hauling a load.

12. Ensure your truck is appropriate for attaching an SST

. See the Assembly section on page

14 for further details.

13. Mindfulness when moving hydraulic cylinders is encouraged so as not to pinch hands or

drop cylinders on your feet.

14. When cylinders are not in use, make sure they are stored on the cylinder storage pins with

the lynch pins fastened to keep the cylinders secure.

15. Periodically check the hydraulic fluid level.
