Traffic Management & Site Safety
Frequently Asked Questions
What traffic management equipment can I hire?
Our network covers the core kit, including traffic cones, Chapter 8 barriers, pedestrian barriers, road plates, warning and information signage, flashing lamps and portable traffic lights. Tell us whether it’s a footway closure, a lane closure or a full road works setup and we’ll put the right package together.
What is Chapter 8 traffic management?
Chapter 8 is the UK Traffic Signs Manual section that sets out how to lay out and sign temporary works on or near the highway, covering cone tapers, barrier lengths, sign sizes and lamps. Our barriers, cones and signs are Chapter 8 compliant, and we can advise on a layout that matches your works.
Can I hire temporary traffic lights?
Yes. We supply portable battery traffic lights for two-way control and multi-phase junctions, with radio control and vehicle actuation so the signals adapt to traffic queues. Most units run for several days on a charge. Share the road layout and how long the works run and we’ll spec the right set.
Do I need permission for traffic lights or a road closure?
For works on the public highway you’ll typically need a permit or licence from the local highway authority under NRSWA, and portable signals often need their approval too. We can supply the equipment to suit your permit, so it’s worth talking to us early so the kit matches what’s been approved.
What barriers do I need to separate pedestrians from traffic?
Interlocking Chapter 8 barriers channel and protect pedestrians around a footway or works, while heavier ped barriers and water-filled units suit busier or higher-risk frontages. For live carriageways at speed, road-rated safety barriers are the right call. Tell us the location and traffic speed and we’ll match it.
What are road plates used for?
Steel road plates bridge open excavations and trenches so vehicles and pedestrians can cross safely while the works stay open. We size and deliver plates to suit the trench width and the loads crossing them. Give us the span and we’ll sort the right plate and handling.
Can you help plan the traffic management for my site?
Yes. Tell us the road or site, the type of works and how long they run, and we’ll help you work out the cones, barriers, signs and signals you need to stay compliant and safe. For larger or live-highway schemes we can arrange a full delivered-and-installed setup.
Do you deliver and set up the traffic management equipment?
It depends on your location and current availability. We coordinate delivery and collection through our supplier network, and can often help with urgent or time-critical jobs, subject to availability. Send us your site postcode and we’ll confirm a realistic delivery time.
How long can I hire traffic management equipment for?
From a few days for a short job to long-term hire across a phased project, with rates easing on longer hires. Tell us your start date and likely duration and we’ll confirm availability and pricing.

We provide traffic management hire nationwide across the UK, including Chapter 8 barriers, cones, signage and battery traffic lights. Share your site postcode when you enquire and we’ll confirm availability and delivery.
