Before you request a quote
A useful enquiry tells the supplier what has to be achieved, where the equipment will work and what could change the selection. Include dimensions, quantities, material conditions, dates, the delivery route, unloading area and any site compliance requirements.
Compare offers on the complete configuration: machine, attachments, operator (for wet or dry hire), transport both ways, minimum hours, fuel and return conditions. See how to read a plant hire quote.
Selection factors
Three things that change the answer.
Speed and exposure
Road speed, traffic volume and duration change barrier type and whether a TMA is required.
Permits and deployment
Road occupancy permits, installation crews and night works affect hire scope and cost.

FAQ
Traffic Management Equipment hire questions.
Can I hire traffic control equipment without traffic controllers?
Some suppliers dry-hire signs, VMS and barriers. Setting them up on public roads usually needs qualified traffic personnel and an approved plan.
What is a TMA truck?
A truck-mounted attenuator absorbs the impact of an errant vehicle to protect workers during mobile or short-term roadworks.
Are VMS boards solar powered?
Most modern trailer-mounted VMS boards are solar-powered with battery backup and remote programming.
Do water-filled barriers stop vehicles?
Only systems tested and certified for the relevant impact conditions. Many lighter barriers are for delineation only. Check the rating.
