How much does it cost to repair the TTMA-100 after a crash?
For low-speed nuisance hits, the damage would likely be limited to the shear or restraining bolts holding the mandrels to the energy absorbing tubes. Repair would involve replacing the shear bolts and the plastic guide plates for a parts cost of $80. For moderately severe crashes that result in damage to the energy absorbing tubes, the repairs should be conducted at a certified facility to assure that the Trailer TMA would function properly. The repair cost will vary depending on the exact components damaged. For example, the cost of the parts for replacing the energy absorbing tubes, the axle assembly and the light bar would come to less than $6,000 plus labor and shipping costs.
