In response to demand and created to an original brief by SRL’s hire division MD, Malcolm Johnstone, the new Portable VMS is the only compact mobile VMS on the market to feature integrated vehicle activated detectors, for easier portability and installation than those needing supplementary detectors, and requiring minimal storage space.

With an active display width and height of 32 x 32 pixels (640mm x 640mm), SRL’s new SWARCO VMS Portable signs are the smallest in its portfolio so require minimal storage space. Designed to display concise information, they can be used to warn road users of temporary traffic lights up ahead, or to convey speed limits in situations where space is at a premium, such as car parks and construction sites. Their introduction caters to the burgeoning demand for products that enhance information provision, so improving safety and end user experience.

They also incorporate internal radar, GPRS communications, battery monitor and GPS location, and are controlled via Zephyr, the SWARCO-recognised and established control system.

Available to hire or buy, the Portable VMS enjoys all the benefits of SRL’s gold standard VMS, the only VMS designed specifically for use in the UK and Republic of Ireland.  They conform to TOPAS TR2516B and Highways England’s requirements of EN 12966, confirming their ability to provide legibility, energy-efficiency and luminance in excess of the standards required on UK roads. 

The Portable VMS are also backed by SRL’s largest network of 28 depots across UK and Republic of Ireland for fast, efficient delivery and 24/7 support.
