Traffic Management Hire Is High-Volume With Serious Road Safety Obligations
Barriers, cones, and VMS signs must be chapter 8 compliant and in serviceable condition before going on a live carriageway. With hundreds of items across dozens of active sites, equipment goes missing, signs fail in the field, and chapter 8 documentation gets lost. Without tracking per item and per site, the liability for non-compliant equipment on a public road falls entirely on the hire company.
Traffic Management Hire With Compliance and Inventory Accountability
Chapter 8 Compliance Records
Store chapter 8 conformity documentation per equipment type and log periodic condition checks for regulatory readiness.

VMS Sign Battery and Functionality Checks
Log battery levels and message display tests on VMS signs before every deployment — failed units blocked from dispatch.

Raise invoices against contractor purchase orders or highway authority project references with equipment lists per deployment.

Traffic Management Hire Software — Common Questions
Each delivery logs quantities per site address. Your dashboard shows total deployed stock versus yard stock at all times — and flags any site where the return is overdue.
Conformity documentation is stored per equipment type. Pre-hire condition checks are logged per batch dispatched. Both are retrievable instantly if a compliance query arises from a highway authority or incident investigator.
Battery status is checked and logged before each deployment. Signs below a minimum charge level are flagged for charging and blocked from dispatch until the pre-deployment check is re-run and cleared.
Returns are counted and logged against the dispatch record. Any missing items trigger a replacement charge at your standard rate per item type, raised automatically against the contractor's account.
