National Highways has issued extreme heat warnings this week ☀️ — and while most of us can stay in the shade, traffic signal crews are still out there at junctions across the UK.
Here's a thought: every minute a crew spends up a ladder next to live traffic in 30°C heat is a minute too many.
The CoverMe system bags off signal heads entirely from ground level — no ladders, no MEWPs — and it's around 80% faster than traditional methods. Less time on site, less heat exposure, zero work-at-height risk.
It's already trusted by Siemens Mobility, Blackburn Council and Colas Group.
