A road crew of W.L. French Trucking, J.F. White Contracting and James W. Flett Excavating remove and transport one half mile of Jersey barriers off Boston's Tobin Bridge during a single 7 hour night shift. Two Kenworth tractors and one Peterbilt with 3 lowboys haul 560 tons of Jersey barriers one-half mile while in live traffic. YouTube - W.L. French Hauling Jersey Barriers off the Tobin Bridge
That video turned out great as always Steve, fantastic job. Its interesting to see how things work at night in a very busy area....thanks for sharing!
How much does the average barrier weigh? 560 tons is allot of weight!
Jersey barrier weighs 2 tons a piece. At 10 feet long each over a little more than a 1/2 mile thats 280 Jersey Barrier's.... Multiply that by 2 tons and you get 560 tons of material moved..... Not all at once of course...
where did the name Jersey Barrier come from?

Hi ! If I recall properly , it is because they were used and accepted in New-Jersey at first , maybe this is not it but that is what I was told about .
Which attachment is grabbing the barriers?
