Portable Traffic Lights for Hire
When you need simple, safe, and cost-effective traffic control, Portable Traffic Lights are the go-to solution. Commonly used for road maintenance, lane closures, bridge works, and event detours, they help keep vehicles, pedestrians, and workers protected and moving efficiently.
Powered by long-life solar batteries and linked by secure radio signal, these lights can be set up and running within minutes in a range of modes. They can be set up to manually or automatically switch between red, amber, and green cycles, providing seamless control at two-way or multi-way intersections.
Unlike handheld stop/slow bats, portable stop lights provide consistent control without putting crew members in harm’s way. The result? Safer sites, lower labour costs, and smoother traffic flow – all managed by smart, self-contained systems built for reliability.
