Crash Truck & TMA Services
Protecting workers and the public in high-speed environments with reliable crash-truck and TMA deployment integrated into your traffic management plan.
Crash Truck & TMA Deployment
Truck Mounted Attenuators (TMAs) are the last line of defence between errant vehicles and roadside workers in high-speed work zones. NTSM provides reliable crash-truck and TMA-crew services designed to protect workers and the public during highway operations, high-traffic construction zones, and time-sensitive emergency events.
Our TMA vehicles are maintained to manufacturers' specifications, inspected before every deployment, and operated by trained, certified personnel who understand the critical nature of their role. NTSM's crash-truck services integrate seamlessly with broader traffic-management plans — positioned at the upstream end of work zones to absorb impacts and provide a protective shadow for personnel working below the posted speed.
With rapid-response capability across Ontario, NTSM can deploy TMA assets quickly when schedule changes or emergency conditions demand immediate protection.

When a TMA is Required
Highway Work Zones
Any work zone on high-speed highways where workers are exposed to live traffic — required by OTM and MTO specifications.
High-Traffic Arterials
Busy urban arterials and expressway ramps where posted speeds and traffic volumes pose elevated risk to site workers.
Emergency Response
Emergency utility repairs and incident scene management where workers must operate adjacent to live traffic quickly and safely.
Night Operations
Overnight lane closures and maintenance windows where reduced visibility increases driver reaction time and risk.
