US portable traffic signal and traffic control devices manufacturer 7886 John Thomas has released the PortaPole rapid response signal system as part of its ADDCO PTS-2000 line. The PortaPole is designed as a rapid deployment temporary replacement pole when a permanent signal is out of service or an additional signal is needed temporarily such as following a knockdown, signal outage and traffic reconfiguration for special events or construction projects.
Its electric-hydraulic mast and arm is easily deployed and set up by one person.
The pole has a self-contained power supply with a solar recharging option and a Galaxy wireless interface to connect to street corner controllers and assume the standard function of the corner controller.
