What a great bit of kit

There is a trailer they tow in the states on a you tube clip. It puts cones out and stacks them away again

:goes off to search for clip:

I remember that (or similar) on some Discovery channel programme or similar and also looked for the clip but no joy… Found this though…doesn’t say if it would line up mile after mile of em then stand round having a smoke for 8hrs, do nothing then go home!

That’s the one chicane posted. I found the trailer one butnthe one flaw with it is reversing to collect the cones. Imagine a 10 mile reverse on the M1 with a car trailer!

With regards to this barrier mover being hit, that was my first thought but when you look at the setup, it is always protected by the existinh barrier. It is only vulnerable when they pass it and the additional lane opens up.

You’d have to cut in friggin tight to hit it though … mind were talking USA so yeah :wink: :wink:

Kent county council looked at this a Cpl of years ago for operation stack didn’t hear the outcome tho

They’ve just set one up on the M1 between J17-16
