Westcotec has pioneered alternative energy with wind and solar options, available throughout most of its product range. Westcotec are determined to reduce their carbon footprint so for every sign sold a tree is planted in the company owned woodland, to date this numbers in excess of 8000 trees.
OUR PRODUCTS
We provide a range of products including fixed and portable signs and signals in bespoke and standard designs. A large number of detectors can be used to trigger the displays, from radar for overspeed vehicles to optical sensors to determine vehicle height.
Our portable signs are battery powered and can be easily moved to different sites by one person. The flexibility these types of sign offer is beneficial in locations which suffer speeding problems in several areas, meaning signs can be easily deployed to target various hotspots.
All Westcotec signs can be installed onto lampposts or similar street furniture, and powered by either a mains supply, battery, solar and/or wind energy.
We specialise in creating bespoke products to address specific issues, so even if it`s something we haven`t manufactured before, these can be designed to suit your specification.

SPEED SIGNS
Transport for London Street Management`s Report on the Effectiveness of SIDS Reducing Vehicle Speeds concluded that SIDs are effective at reducing speeds, reducing speeds 200 metres downstream of the sign and a collision reduction of 5.6%.
SIDs are cost effective compared with road humps, chicanes and other expensive measures, they pose no problem for emergency vehicles, whilst noise and nuisance are totally absent.
Speed Indicator Devices (SIDs) accurately measure the oncoming vehicles speed and displays this value to the driver. A number of variations are available, including portable versions that can be carried and installed on different sites by a single person. The sign face itself can also display a number of different messages along with the speed.
Westcotec`s range of speed signs have been proven to reduce vehicle speeds.
The sign only activates when a speeding vehicle is detected.
Our signs are lightweight, making it possible to fit them unobtrusively into the most sensitive of areas.
Smart Solar Powered Street Furniture
Westcotec has recently moved into the smart street furniture market, with options to suit all different locations and settings. The products have the capability to charge mobile phones (via cable and wireless charging), be a wi-fi hotspot alongside the potential for speakers to be implemented in them and the ability to display relevant information/marketing. The product range includes benches, bus shelters, kiosks and bins. All of the products are solar powered and therefore have the ability to be installed in any location with sufficient sunlight. This is another element of the business being conscious of its impact on the environment. If this is not feasible, then there are mains powered options as well to suit indoor/shaded locations.
