An Introduction to How VMS Hire and Rental Works
Our quotation service is designed to be straightforward and seamless. You can request a callback if you need input from our VMS technicians and consultants, or submit a quotation form if you need an estimate for your intended hire period.
We can offer advice based on compliance with National Highways guidelines and regulations, best practice road safety standards, and according to the KPIs related to critical road works, highways improvements and time-sensitive traffic management schemes.
Mobile VMS has teams stationed in London, Stoke, and County Down. We are on hand to help clients with road and traffic projects or event management requirements who wish to consult an expert before selecting the VMS models that align with their budgets and specifications.
VMS for hire
While the exact VMS units, models, and technologies we recommend may vary depending on the nature, location, and risk profile linked to your diversion or traffic management requirements, below we have highlighted a selection of our most sought-after VMS units, all of which are available for hire or purchase.
Highways Variable Message Signage
Designed for installation in higher-speed road settings with speed limits of 50 MPH and above, our Highways Variable Message Sign is appropriate for varied environments, including major roadways and motorway networks.
Supported by JamLogic™ software, contractors and engineers can remotely program and control the message displays, adapting signage according to speed limits, safety instructions, hazards in the road, lane closures and any other vital communications that need to be circulated to road users quickly and efficiently.
City Sign Amber
A compact, space-conscious VMS unit, the City Sign Amber is ideally suited to urban and metropolitan areas, including residential, commercial, and through-routes. It provides opportunities to display warnings, cautions, instructions, and information about localised events, promotions, directions, or parking facilities.
The City Sign Amber is also available for hire by councils and highways engineers carrying out roadway repairs around areas with a speed limit of under 50 MPH, with the agility to display up to eight lines of 20 characters, and with instant remote programming through any device.
Full Colour Highway Sign
Equipped with a full matrix display, the Full Colour Highway Sign allows users to customise colours, palettes, and text hues on demand from any remote device. This augments the ability to showcase full-colour graphics, images, logos, or location-specific pictures to engage with drivers, public transport users, and pedestrians.
As the first full-colour portable VMS worldwide, the Full-Colour Highway Sign is a dynamic VMS unit suited to varied applications. It is compatible with roadwork safety warnings and incorporates impactful icons or symbols communicating information to multinational visitor demographics, where imagery may be more effective than text.
JamLogic™ Software
All VMS and ITS units from Mobile VMS are fully compatible with the breakthrough JamLogic™ software, a user-friendly, agile and valuable interface that captures data intelligence, provides real-time traffic flow reporting, and can automate message distribution to your VMS signage infrastructure.
The advantages include the ability to manage complex and multi-site projects and highway works or diversions simultaneously from one control deck, automation to improve advanced warnings or safety information, and faster delivery of urgent and time-sensitive communications to minimise lags between incident awareness and road safety responses.
Stealth Technology
Security is often a primary consideration when deploying hired VMS units, and the incorporation of Stealth Technology acts as a proactive, preemptive solution that defends against targeted and opportunistic battery thefts. It significantly reduces the costs of ongoing battery maintenance and repairs and utilises smart seals and concealed compartments to protect high-value components from tampering.
Sealed VMS batteries can function for as long as three years without recharging or can continue to operate with a solar recharging integration. This is ideal for clients with extended-scope projects or for whom minimal battery swaps are essential to maintaining productivity and delivering projects on time.
VMS Trailers
Our latest solar-powered VMS trailers are built to deliver fast, effective vehicle speed control. Engineered for reliability and rapid deployment, each unit features durable construction, exceptional battery life, and smart remote operation. Designed with ease of use in mind, these mobile trailers can be set up quickly on-site and require minimal maintenance. They support real-time traffic monitoring and integrate seamlessly with our award-winning JamLogic Software to provide a complete, connected traffic management solution.
