VMS board hire

The right message, seen in time

VMS boards supplied, placed and maintained

Variable message signs give road users clear, advance warning of what’s ahead, a lane closure, a detour, a reduced speed limit, before they reach it. Our VMS board hire covers the full job, from delivery and placement to the message programming and ongoing maintenance for the life of your job.

We supply solar and trailer-mounted VMS traffic boards sized to your site, positioned for maximum visibility and set with clear, TMR-compliant messaging. As your job progresses through different stages, we reprogram and reposition boards to match, rather than leaving a static message that no longer reflects what’s happening on site.

Boards are checked as part of our regular site inspections, so a flat battery or a knocked sign doesn’t go unnoticed. If a board needs servicing or repositioning mid-job, our crews handle it as part of the hire, not as a separate call-out.
