• Message flexibility
• Changing speed limits

But a portable VMS trailer is also a great way to advertise your business or an upcoming event.

Our VMS boards are fully solar powered, meaning zero running costs and very easy to use and customize messages on. They are available as amber or colour boards and in three different sizes. Furthermore, they can be affixed with radar to become a speed signs, providing traffic speed information to drivers as part of traffic management control.

Alternatively, they can be used for traffic control during events. Our trailer-mounted traffic lights are solar-powered and therefore completely maintenance-free once set up. They are easily transported together as one connected unit and separated and set up at the site. They can also be set up as a 3-way or 4-way configuration.  The benefits include:
