Traffic Control
Hire traffic control by the day, the week or the month, from suppliers who actually cover your site. Off-hire early and the supplier can adjust; run over and the rate simply continues.
: Traffic Control
Before you compare rates on traffic control, settle the specification. Two machines in the same class can differ enough in reach, weight or power that only one of them can do your job.
The main classes here are arrow board, delineator post, flagger station, portable traffic signal, traffic cone set. Work out which class you are in first, then compare suppliers inside it - comparing across classes on price alone is how the wrong machine ends up on site.
Fuel, consumables and attachments are usually extra. Confirm what comes with the machine so the first day is not spent chasing a part.
Most of this class can be run without a formal ticket, but read the machine notes: site rules and insurers often ask for more than the law does.
