Frequently Asked Questions

How quickly can we secure a work zone for emergency repairs?

Ver-Mac’s portable equipment can be deployed by one person in minutes, allowing repairs to begin safely and quickly. 

Which equipment can help secure public works or utility work zones?

From closing lanes to managing traffic flow and more, you may need a combination of equipment depending on your project’s needs. 

To: 

Please contact us if you would like to discuss your needs. 

Is Ver-Mac equipment connected to Waze?

Most Ver-Mac products can be connected to Waze. This further increases safety by allowing motorists to be notified and adjust their driving in advance.   
  
In detail: 

        

Can Ver-Mac equipment be monitored or controlled remotely?

Yes. Our solutions can be managed remotely from a laptop, tablet, or mobile device, allowing you to make updates anytime, anywhere. You can also monitor your equipment’s location, status, battery voltage, and more. 

Does my project require an automated flagger (AFAD) or a temporary traffic signal?

Automated flaggers (AFADs) are usually used when work is of shorter duration, mobile, or benefits from active operator judgment (operator-led control). 

Portable traffic signals are usually used when the work zone requires autonomous two-way control for extended periods, or for higher traffic volumes. 

Is Ver-Mac equipment suitable for temporary or short-term work zones?

Yes. All Ver-Mac equipment is portable/towable. Any unit can follow your work and be deployed for as long as you need. 
 
As it is solar-powered, there is no need to plan refueling or engine logistics during your project, so crews can focus on getting the job done. 
 

How can we communicate important messages in public spaces?

Highly visible message signs deliver clear, real-time instructions regarding detours, repairs, and more. 

Various sizes are available, so you can communicate messages on a sidewalk, or on the side of the highway.  

Messages can be updated anytime, anywhere, thanks to remote management. 

How can public works crews manage traffic with minimal personnel?

Choosing temporary traffic signals to manage traffic significantly reduces the need for worker intervention. 

Two automated flaggers can be managed by one worker, with the same remote control, reducing the need for personnel. 

Are temporary traffic signals easy to set up?

While traffic signals can traditionally be a little complex to set up, Ver-Mac temporary traffic signals can be deployed from the ground in a few minutes. 
 
The intuitive interface in JamLogic allows any employee to activate a traffic plan in just a few clicks.

Which type of AFAD is best suited for utility / public works?

To manage traffic safely off the road, up to 1,000 feet away. 

The truck-mounted model is particularly well-suited to short-term work, as workers simply need to drive it ahead as work progresses.  

It can also be useful for quickly expanding work zones, as workers can simply drive the truck ahead as the work zone boundaries changes. 

Find out more about the different AFAD models

Can automated flaggers (AFADs) replace workers?

While a worker is needed to operate the automated flagger, one person can operate two Ver-Mac AFADs with one remote control, enabling traffic management with half the personnel required for in-person flagging. 

Is solar-powered equipment reliable?

Yes. Since there is no engine that can fail or run out of fuel, solar-powered equipment is considered more reliable than diesel-powered equipment and doesn’t require refueling or engine maintenance. 

Portable solar-powered equipment continues operating independently during power failures, helping maintain communication, lighting, and traffic control capabilities.

What happens to solar-powered equipment on cloudy days?

Solar-powered equipment continues to operate using stored battery energy.

Can Ver-Mac equipment withstand extreme weather?

Yes. All our solutions are rugged and engineered to perform reliably in all weather conditions. 

  • Performs in temperatures ranging from 80˚ C to -40˚ C, high winds, and precipitations   
  • No engine-related cold-start issues 
  • No refueling runs or maintenance calls in sub-zero temperatures, high winds, or sweltering heat.
