How do the two signals stay in sync?
Radio link — the pair talks to each other wirelessly, so there's no cable to run across the road. Timing plans are set at commissioning: fixed cycles, or vehicle-actuated so the lights respond to queued traffic.
How long do they run?
Weeks. Solar panels keep the batteries topped up, and the heads are LED, so consumption is tiny. For a normal hire you'll never think about power.
Do I still need traffic controllers?
That's your traffic management plan's call, not ours — portable signals often replace stop/slow bats on approved closures, which is exactly why they're hired. We supply and commission the gear; the TMP governs how the closure runs.
What happens if one gets bumped or fails?
The units are designed to fail safe — defaulting to red rather than going dark — and faults are a swap-out call to us, handled with the supplying fleet.
How are they set up?
Delivered, positioned at each end of the closure, aimed and commissioned with your timing plan before handover. Repositioning for a moving job is straightforward; tell us the staging when you book.
What else goes on the same quote?
VMS boards on the approaches, barriers along the zone, signage and a Portaboom if the job needs gated access — one quote, one invoice, one call if anything needs swapping.
