Swarco Traffic has made SRL Traffic Systems its official strategic hire partner as part of an extended partnership. 

John Pickworth, managing director of Swarco Traffic, says: “This partnership has been agreed with our respective customers in mind, enabling them to benefit from market-leading Swarco technology, as well as the truly bespoke flexibility and fast-paced service that SRL are able to provide. Together, we will make access to temporary sign installations simpler, faster, and more effective.”

In the original partnership, more than 400 Swarco signs formed part of the SRL variable message signs for use on roads throughout the UK and Ireland. 

Swarco says the portfolio includes its full colour VMS trailers which require minimal energy consumption due to its energy saving solutions.

The signs can also be managed via Swarco's cloud-based mobility management platform.

Malcolm Johnstone, SRL’s hire division managing director, says: “We offer the UK and RoI’s largest distribution network of 30 depots and are available to customers on site 24/7, 365 days a year.”
