Abstract: A traffic barrier section with a centrally-located, built-in carrier is disclosed. The carrier includes a fluid-operated ram which is connected to an axle carrying wheels located below the ram. Then the wheels are in a retracted position, the barrier section rests on the ground and when the wheels are extended, the barrier section is supported fully on the wheels. In that position, a plurality of the barrier sections which are pivotally connected in end-to-end relationship can be moved from one construction site to another as needs change. Each axle and the wheels can be turned to a position other than perpendicular to the longitudinal extent of the barrier section so that some of the barrier sections can be moved transversely to place them in other than a straight line position.

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.
