Heavy Duty Portable Traffic Lights – NZTA and DIN Certified

Heavy Duty Portable Traffic Lights

The HW1 Heavy Duty Portable Traffic Light System is designed for demanding temporary traffic management applications requiring extended operating time, flexibility and reliability.

Housed in a heavy-duty wheeled battery cart designed to accommodate larger battery capacities, the system supports radio-linked, cable-linked and quartz (timer) operation, making it suitable for roadworks, lane closures, temporary intersections and other traffic management applications.

Compatible with the HW1 Telescopic Cart, Heavy Duty Cart, Porta Auto and Dual Trailer Portable Traffic Signal Systems, the Heavy Duty Cart provides a flexible solution for expanding or integrating existing traffic light fleets.
