ABSTRACT:
A traffic barrier carrier or mover is provided, by means of which traffic barrier sections can be repositioned according to changing needs. The carrier includes a supporting frame having two opposite end plates upon which adjacent ends of two generally aligned barrier sections are supported. The frame carries a hydraulic cylinder which raises and lowers supporting wheels mounted on an axle under the frame. The wheels are moved between an upper position located above the lower extremities of the supporting frame with the barrier sections being supported on a surface, and a lower position below the lower extremities of the supporting frame with the barrier sections being raised above the surface. In the latter position of the wheels, the barrier sections can be towed in end-to-end relationship from one position to another. Steering mechanism can be employed with the wheels of each carrier to steer the barrier sections.
