About Road Zipper
Moving people. Safer. Faster. Smarter … Better.
Since 1984, road authorities and contractors around the world have been taking advantage of the Road Zipper System® to manage congestion without the major investment of building new roads and bridges. This cost-effective, reusable solution from Lindsay helps maximize budgets, improve safety and increase traffic throughput to create more sustainable infrastructures that benefit everyone.
How does The Road Zipper System work?
Flexible barrier wall
One-meter sections of highly reinforced concrete barriers are pinned together to form a continuous barrier wall.
The Road Zipper Machine
The “T-top” barriers are lifted (not dragged) and transferred by the Road Zipper Barrier Transfer Machine through a conveyor system.
New dedicated lanes
The machine transfers the barrier up to 9.1 m (30') in one pass and gently sets it down without damaging the road. It operates at speeds up to 15 km/h (10 mph).
The power of flexibility.
The Road Zipper System is one of the few solutions on the market that provides superior flexibility to benefit infrastructures today and in the future. Our moveable barrier technology is a proactive and strategic approach that can be used for managed lanes, bridges and tunnels, and construction work zones.
