Everything You Need to Know Before Hiring Your Next Bartco Traffic Management Equipment
Why Hire Traffic Management Equipment Instead of Buying?
Buying may sound good like a good investment initially: no hire fees, always on hand. But the reality? You’re stuck using the same equipment, whether it’s suited to the job or not. You’re also the one paying for repairs, servicing, and storage.
Hiring traffic management equipment solves all that:
- You get the right equipment for the specific job.
- You don’t have to worry about breakdowns; the hire company handles it.
- You can scale up or down as the project demands.
And let’s be honest: traffic management requirements can change at the drop of a hat. Weather, council requirements, or a last-minute scope change can mean you need something different tomorrow than you needed yesterday. Hiring gives you flexibility. And with the right supplier, you’ll get equipment that’s ready to deploy when and where you need it.
Types of Traffic Management Equipment Available for Hire
Through our partnership with a supplier like Bartco, we’re able to provide you with more than just one or two options. Their range covers everything from simple directional boards to complex, programmable systems.
Arrow Board
Straightforward, highly visible, and easy to operate, arrow boards are perfect for deployment during lane closures, detours, and guiding traffic where you need it. These are your essential signs: bright, reliable, and built to withstand harsh outdoor conditions.
Portable Traffic Lights
When site constraints prevent two-way traffic flow, portable traffic lights provide a safe and effective way to control alternating traffic. Bartco’s units are easy to set up and relocate, reducing costs and time personnel are on the road, which is a lifesaver when you’ve got shifting work zones.
VSLS Board – Speed Advisory Sign
Sometimes the key to safety isn’t stopping traffic, it’s slowing it down. These boards display clear, real-time speed advisories, keeping drivers aware and reducing the risk of accidents. They’re ideal for high-speed approaches or work areas with limited sight lines.
VMS Board – Variable Message Sign
These are the heavy hitters when the public needs to be informed of upcoming road works or closures. Our fully programmable LED displays can handle text, numbers, and even graphics. Whether it’s road closures, event management, or live updates, VMS boards get the message out loud and clear.
