Variable Messaging Signs

Our variable messaging signs (VMS) offer high display performance and superior screen resolution to ensure that your message is dynamic, clear and noticeable.

Trailer mounted and with solar powered options available, our VMS hire boards are easy to install and operate, and will ensure that your message can be placed in the right location to reach the right audience, exactly when you need it to.

Variable message sign hire is suitable to use for a range of purposes.

Government, councils and emergency services.

Communicate important information and key messages to communities such as public health information.

Commercial and retail

Communicate promotions, specials, opening hours, and varied operating or entry conditions for example.

Civil construction and roadworks

Clearly communicate advance notifications of construction, changed road and traffic conditions, and changes to speed limits.

VMS Board Signs for advertising

Anyone running a business or needing to promote or advertise over the short to medium term would understand how important it is for your audience to know about your business, product, service or event, and even where your business is located.

Good advertising signage can make or break your bottom line. There are many forms of traditional advertising but most aren’t as cost efficient or as effective as VMS signs.

Advertising using VMS signage can quickly boost your brand — potential customers will get to know your business name, personality and what you’re offering. Clear, bright and dynamic signage can easily portray exactly what your business is about and set expectations for a great customer experience.

VMS signs can also be used to communicate key brand messages or even advertise specific products or services, special offers or current promotions — ideal for car park signage right outside your entry. As updates are so simple, you can also change the messaging at the flick of a switch to suit what your customers want or are looking for.

We’ve all had trouble with inaccurate GPS maps but VMS signs can also be used to indicate the exact location of your business, making it as easy as possible for your customers to find you.

Common advertising uses include:

  • Promoting your business
  • Promoting special offers
  • Brand awareness
  • Upcoming events
  • Special opening hours
  • Business location

VMS signage for roadwork and traffic

We all know the frustration of being stuck in long traffic delays due to road works, construction or a traffic accident. And it always seems to happen when you’re running late or in a rush!

Our VMS signs are ideal for communicating important messages that affect road users such as advance roadworks notices, reduced speed areas, construction underway and changed traffic conditions to name a few.

VMS signs are the ideal solution for communicating with road users as they are as dynamic as the reason you need them. At the drop of a hat, you can easily update messaging to reflect the current situation, or you can tailor messaging for certain times of the day. All updates can be made remotely on a computer based platform in response to changing or developing situations.

You can even easily move the roadside signage board to an alternate location as they are portable, lightweight and easy to install.

When it comes to application for traffic management, civil construction or roadwork purposes, portable VMS signs are ideal to alert motorists and road users of:

  • Roadworks in progress
  • Upcoming or future roadworks
  • Changed traffic conditions
  • Changed speed limits
  • Current or advance road closures
  • An accident ahead or nearby
