The J-Tech LaneBlade
The ONLY safe choice for debris removal.

J-Tech LaneBlade

Designed to quickly clear debris and disabled vehicles from active roadways while keeping the operator safe in the cab of the truck.

J-Tech designed and engineered the LaneBlade® with one thing in mind—Safety. Since its debut in May of 2020, over 30 agencies across the United States and Canada have trusted the LaneBlade® to keep highways clear of dangerous debris and reduce the incident risks for travelers and highway workers.

Technologically advanced in-cab operator’s controls and the Patent Pending articulating wing design of the LaneBlade® ensure safe capture, control and removal of nearly any size highway debris—and even disabled vehicles—from active travel lanes without putting roadway crews at risk.

ENGINEERED FOR SAFETY.

— LANEBLADE® ENGINEERING & DESIGN

Meticulously engineered and tested for safety of road users and operators while removing dangerous debris.

Made in USA

AMERICAN MADE:

Designed, perfected and manufactured by J-Tech, a nationally recognized Pennsylvania Small Business that meets the criteria for the Buy America Act (BAA).

Made in USA

TESTED & 3rd PARTY ASSESSED:

While the design and resulting fabrication was perfected and tested by J-Tech engineering, the LaneBlade® design, features, hardware, software, and functionality has also undergone a vigorous third party assessment process that validated the original design and the function and safety of the LaneBlade®.

Independent Pilot Study

2-YEAR INDEPENDENT PILOT STUDY:

The LaneBlade®'s origin story begins with a major tollway approaching J-Tech to develop a device unlike any other on the market that would meet 5 core requirements: durability, functionality, applicability to needs, operator safety, and road user safety. Over the course of a 2-year span those 5 requirements were evaluated and tested using 3 LaneBlade® prototypes operating in 3 unique environments. The final pilot assessment resulted in the purchase of 29 LaneBlade® devices with plans to equip an entire feet of Safety Service Patrol vehicles.

PUT TO THE TEST, BUILT BY THE BEST.

UNMATCHED QUALITY AND FEATURES.

— LANEBLADE® PATENTED FEATURES & TECHNOLOGY

Dynamic control and safety features found ONLY on the J-Tech LaneBlade®.

LaneBlade handles light and heavy debris

HANDLES LIGHT & HEAVY DEBRIS:

Designed, tested, and rated by J-Tech to handle debris weighing up to 150 lbs. while pushing debris at 20 mph. No other device is rated to handle this category of debris.

LaneBlade deployment speed limiter

DEPLOYMENT SPEED LIMITER:

Unlike other devices that can ricochet and spray debris, the LaneBlade® deployment speed limiter assures that the operator will slow down to 20 mph before deploying the LaneBlade® and contacting debris on your roadways to reduce or eliminate ricochet that could endanger other road users.

LaneBlade push bumper

CLEARS DISABLED VEHICLES:

The LaneBlade® was built from the ground up as a multi-purpose tool for responding to a multitude of debris and disabled vehicle incidents.

LaneBlade adapts to road surfaces

ADAPTS TO ROAD SURFACES:

The LaneBlade®’s hydraulic float adapts to road surfaces—eliminating debris getting stuck in the gap or “ride-over” which can damage the host vehicles and pose additional danger to other road users.

LaneBlade replaceable wear edge

REPLACEABLE WEAR EDGES:

The standard steel edge floats on the road surface to capture every piece of debris regardless of the size and an optional Küper GK5 rubber blade is available for a softer touch.

LaneBlade in-cab controller

IN-CAB OPERATION:

The LaneBlade® is the only device that provides one-touch deployment and debris monitoring via an in-cab touchscreen monitor—keeping the operator’s eyes on the captured debris.

LaneBlade articulating containment wings

ARTICULATING CONTAINMENT WINGS:

Found only on the LaneBlade®, the large containment wings provide 70º of articulation which means NO spilling of debris to adjacent lanes and large, bulky, long, small or messy objects always remain under control when capturing and angling towards the shoulder.

LaneBlade large central moldboard

LARGE CENTRAL PUSH PLATE MOLDBOARD:

11.625 square feet of contact area ensures efficient capture and containment of all size debris—always in control, always in front and never under the bumper. The large moldboard and wear edge design eliminate “ride over” of tire treads and other oddly shaped debris or objects.

ADD VALUE TO YOUR OPERATIONS.

J-Tech LaneBlade

—LANEBLADE® VALUE

You can’t put a price on safety. The patented J-Tech LaneBlade® is the ONLY debris removal device that checks all the boxes.

No other device has been designed, engineered, tested and proven to consistently and efficiently clear highway debris as well as the LaneBlade®. Other devices, claiming similar benefits, with fixed “under bumper” mounting and without articulating wings fall short when it comes to capturing and controlling debris—either allowing some debris and tire treads to slip under the device and cause dangerous “ride-over” or scattering the debris without full control—adding more potential dangers to the roadway. And lets face it, traditional push bumpers are, well, just push bumpers.

J-Tech’s patented LaneBlade® provides a great value for your well spent money.
