Mobile Variable Message Signs (Trailer)
Mobile Variable Message Signs (Mobile VMS or Trailer VMS) offer a highly mobile and flexible solution for communicating important messages to motorists, such as alerts and warnings by the roadside. They are ideal for informing drivers about temporary roadworks, changes in traffic patterns, or upcoming local events as they can be towed to and from sites easily and set up in minutes.
The full-colour VMS provides a high-resolution display, ensuring that messages, symbols, and graphics are clear and easy to read for all road users. Each unit also comes equipped with GPS tracking, allowing you to keep tabs on the device at all times. They are also compatible with our optional user-friendly control interface, allowing messages to be updated instantly and remotely for maximum convenience and real-time communication.

How Our Mobile Variable Message Signs Work
The Mobile VMS is mounted on a trailer for easy transportation and setup. Once the unit is positioned roadside, it is controlled remotely via a user-friendly interface, allowing operators to instantly update messages, symbols, or graphics on the sign. The high-resolution LED screen ensures visibility, while the GPS tracking system provides real-time location monitoring.
The unit operates reliably in various conditions because it is powered by a renewable energy source. As a result, our Mobile VMS is an ideal solution for real-time, on-the-go communication. This unit comes with a solar panel as standard, although it is additionally compatible with fuel cell technology.

Further Product Information on Mobile Variable Message Signs
Our Mobile VMS Solutions are designed for
- Temporary Road Works: Mobile VMS units are widely used to manage traffic around temporary roadworks. They provide essential information to drivers, such as lane closures, detour routes, and speed limit changes, helping to ensure a safe and smooth traffic flow. Their portability allows them to be quickly set up and relocated as needed, adapting to the evolving needs of construction and road improvement projects. This helps to significantly reduce traffic congestion and minimise the risk of accidents.
- Events/Crowd Control: Mobile VMS units are effective tools for managing both vehicle and pedestrian traffic during events. They can display important information such as directions to parking areas, entrances, and exits, as well as real-time updates on event schedules or changes. The ability to update messages instantly ensures that event organisers can adapt to any changes and manage crowds efficiently, improving overall event safety and organisation.
- Journey / Travel Time Information: Mobile VMS units are useful for providing drivers with real-time journey and travel time information. They can be used to display current traffic conditions, estimated travel times, or warnings about delays, subsequently allowing helping drivers make informed decisions about their routes. By providing this timely information, VMS units help improve traffic flow and reduce congestion, enhancing the overall driving experience.

Stena Line – Mobile VMS
When Brexit introduced new customs and border regulations, Stena Line needed adaptable signage to manage traffic at both their Fishguard and Holyhead ports. Messagemaker Displays provided a tailored solution with Mobile Variable Message Signs, such as VMS Trailers and Tower Units, ideal for clear visibility and easy transport. These mobile units allowed Stena Line to guide passengers efficiently, including during busy periods.
Messagemaker’s team customised the Tower Units to be powered by both mains and solar energy, enhancing flexibility across different port areas. Moreover, the energy-efficient design with auto-shutdown features helped to reduce operational costs. The compact footprint of the Mobile VMS signs proved particularly useful where space was limited, without compromising on functionality.
Lastly, to ensure smooth deployment, Messagemaker provided on-site training for the Stena Line team. This project highlights Messagemaker’s ability to deliver flexible, reliable signage solutions tailored to specific client needs together with offering environmentally conscious options.
