What makes our beacon & warning trailers different?
Draw Attention Where It Matters
High-visibility flashing beacons help drivers recognize changing conditions, restrictions, and hazards before they reach the affected area.
Operate on Your Schedule
Activate locally or remotely through Command Center, including establishing preprogrammed schedules or automatic triggers based on changing real-time traffic conditions.
Part of an ITS or On Its Own
Sensors in your ITS configuration can trigger the FBT-2000 to activate its flashing beacons, or deploy it as a stand-alone trailer for temporary traffic calming and motorist and work zone safety.
