Bartco launches temporary VMS for work zones

UK manufacturer of temporary, solar powered variable message signs (VMS), Bartco UK, will unveil what it claims is the first temporary VMS designed for use within work zones. The HD Quattro was developed in response to feedback from customers requiring a product to affirm on-site speed limits for work zone vehicles. Designed to show limited amounts of information, such as speed roundels, at just 600mm x 600mm, the free-standing, 12v battery-powered device is the smallest VMS in Bartco’s portfolio.

Bartco, manufacturer of temporary, solar powered variable message signs

UK manufacturer of temporary, solar powered variable message signs (VMS), 8321 Bartco UK, will unveil what it claims is the first temporary VMS designed for use within work zones. The HD Quattro was developed in response to feedback from customers requiring a product to affirm on-site speed limits for work zone vehicles.

Designed to show limited amounts of information, such as speed roundels, at just 600mm x 600mm, the free-standing, 12v battery-powered device is the smallest VMS in Bartco’s portfolio.

Bartco is also launching what it believes may be the first two-colour VMS of its size to feature a 126 pixel x 84 pixel dual colour matrix. The 2,730mm x 1,850mm HD VMS-C offers higher resolution than standard VMS, and was developed to enable traffic management firms to clearly display - in high-impact red and white rather than standard amber - information regarding up to five lanes.
