Hire VMS-A

At MVIS, we provide portable VMS signs for hire and sale, perfectly suited for a variety of applications, including events, urban construction projects, and roads with speed limits up to 50 mph. Among our offerings, the VMS-A stands out as one of our most popular choices for traffic management across multiple industries.

The VMS-A is a trailer-based mobile variable message sign designed with a stable, secure footprint and a solar charging system that operates without the need for external power. These portable VMS signs are dependable, easy to deploy, and offer versatile display options with colours including red, green, blue, white, and the standard amber.

Although compact, the VMS-A is equipped with advanced technology, such as a single plug-and-play control module and an energy-efficient LED display, making it an excellent choice for temporary road signage.

The VMS-A is ideal for use as an electronic road sign or in other traffic management settings. It can function as a stand-alone temporary VMS sign or be paired with radar to display:

  • A custom message
  • A message plus the motorist’s speed
  • The motorist’s speed only
  • The motorist’s speed with a ‘too high’ / ‘too fast’ warning
