HTG344 Full-Matrix Solar Variable Message Sign
The HTG344 Full-Matrix Solar Variable Message Sign is a heavy-duty, trailer-mounted traffic information system designed for highways, roadworks, construction zones, lane closures and public event traffic management. Its large 48 × 27 pixel amber LED display provides high-visibility messaging during both daytime and night-time operation, with automatic brightness adjustment to suit changing ambient light conditions.
Powered by 2 × 300 W solar panels and 2 × 250 Ah sealed maintenance-free batteries, the HTG344 provides energy-efficient off-grid operation. Mobile app control allows operators to remotely manage displayed messages, while the carbon-steel trailer structure, manual winch lifting system, stabilising supports and heavy-duty running gear provide a robust platform for demanding South African roadside applications.
