Innovation Description and Benefit:

The Festus maintenance group has a few newer TMA trailers and they all have different control boxes that are assigned to each TMA trailer. This allows all our TMA trailers to be attached to any dump truck, these are loose controllers that must be moved in and out of the trucks making it difficult to maintain where the controllers are kept when using a TMA. This was making the TMA process unsafe to make changes to the arrow board when doing operations. We decided to build a controller holder for each TMA trailer so whichever truck you utilized for a TMA the controllers were stabilized and in a good position for making changes to the arrow board during operations. This made the TMA process much safer for the driver and the public while operating a TMA. This holder will help our drivers keep from having to look for or reach for the controllers to make changes to the arrow board. These new holders create a safer environment when utilizing a TMA truck, so drivers are less distracted.
