J-J HOOKS

Highly visible public safety measureJ-J Hooks? Barriers with their bright orange paintwork (hire barriers only) and F-Shape profile provide the traveling public with a highly visible work site safety measure. This allows contractors to do the right thing and also be seen to be doing the right thing at the same time. Higher site traffic speedsAustralian Standard 1742.3:2002, Section 4.3 permits higher traffic speeds adjacent to work sites which are protected by NCHRP-350 TL-3 compliant barriers. The use of J-J Hooks? Barriers therefore reduces the disruption to established traffic movement patterns and any inconvenience to road users. Emergency AccessTemporary or emergency access is available at any point and at any time. The unique J-J Hooks? connector allows any individual barrier (or group of barriers) within a run to be quickly lifted out of the way - all that is needed is a forklift, small crane or excavator with a set of lifting chains and standard 2.5 tonne lifting clutches. Vandal Proof The J-J Hooks? Barrier (unlike its competitors) has no loose hardware and no moving parts. There are no pins, bolts, brackets, cables, nuts, water or sand ballast for vandals to tamper with. There can be no loss of structural integrity or security due to lost or missing hardware and no costs to replace missing hardware. Quick and easy installationThe self-aligning properties of the hooks and their rebates, the identical ends and the lack of loose hardware combine to produce a barrier that has the lowest installation cost of any TL-3 barrier system on the market. One person and a loader operator can install approximately 1000 metres in an 8 hour shift. PortableThe standard 3.6 metre unit weighs less than 2.5 tonne and can fit in the tray of most small trucks used on roadwork sites. The self aligning nature of the barriers allows excavators or other plant, with a certified lifting point, to install and remove barriers quickly and efficiently even if a crane is not available. Alignment flexibilityThe standard 3.6 metre barrier can be placed on horizontal alignments (left or right) with a minimum radius of 30 metres and on vertical alignments with radii as tight as 30 metres (sag) and 53 metres (crest). End Treatments J-J Hooks? Barriers can be easily attached to any of the NCHRP compliant crash cushions including the Quadguard, NEAT, ADIEM, React 350 and ABSORB 350. The barriers can also be aligned so that the ends are beyond the clear zone and the line of the barriers converges with the traffic alignment at 10:1. Workplace Health and SafetyThe use of barriers compliant with NCHRP-350 TL-3 and AS/NZS 3845, which are free from the hazards inherent in loose or missing hardware, difficult emergency access or faulty installation, provides tangible evidence of the Contractors and Road Authoritys commitment to providing their staff, subcontractors and the traveling public with a safe and healthy workplace in accordance with the requirements of the local Workplace Health & Safety Act.
