Safety signs
LED safety and speed signs
Portable and fixed LED signs for roadworks, work sites, car parks and events. Show a speed limit, a STOP message, a detour or a site warning, and change it from your phone as the job changes. We build them at our Welshpool workshop in Perth and deliver hire signs anywhere in Australia, often on the same day in Perth.

Which sign suits the job
Solar trailer signs and VMS boards
A full LED sign on its own trailer, powered by the sun, so it can stand on a verge, in a car park or beside the road with no power nearby. These trailer signs also work as variable message signs (VMS) for roadworks. Double-sided signs have two faces, so traffic in both directions sees the message, and we are the only hire company in Perth with double-sided LED signs. To hire one for roadworks, see VMS board hire.
Portable signs
Smaller signs you can move by hand, for site gates, car park entries and event entries.
Fixed outdoor signs
Permanent signs for site entries, speed reminders and safety notices. A site sign has to stay readable in full sun and keep working through dust and rain, so our FA2 outdoor range is up to 10,000 nits bright and sealed to IP68. See outdoor LED signs.
Indoor screens
Screens for safety briefings, notices and updates in lunchrooms and offices. See indoor LED displays.
Single colour or full colour
Single colour signs show red text, numbers and simple graphics, which covers most speed and warning messages. Full colour adds logos, photos and video. Drivers read a sign from further away and for less time than someone on foot, so roadside signs need bigger letters and a larger pixel pitch. Try sizes on our pixel pitch planner.
Changing the message
Change the message from your phone, tablet or laptop as the site changes. Schedule messages by time of day, for example a night works message from the evening. On a double-sided sign, each side can show its own message on its own schedule. When you hire, we set the sign up on site and give you a quick lesson on changing it.
Approvals and placement
On a public road, the traffic management plan for the job sets where each sign stands and what it says, and the road authority has the final say: the local council for most local roads, and Main Roads WA for main roads. A permanent sign may need council approval, plus Main Roads WA near a main road, and our help with that application is included at no extra cost. Read our council approval guide.
Projects
Signs we have built
Our projects page shows a speed limit trailer sign, an LED stop sign, a roadworks sign warning of verge works, and safety and speed signs in our workshop.
Hire or buy
Hire or buy
Hire a sign for half a day, a season or longer. Longer hires suit roadworks and building sites. We deliver and pick up anywhere in Australia, often on the same day in Perth, and help with council approval if your site needs it.
If your crews use signs for most of the year, buying often works out better. We can price hire and buy side by side. If you buy, Ledge Finance can spread the cost, and warranties run from 1 to 5 years, depending on the product.
