eSTOP® Portable Traffic Signal System

Why customers choose eSTOP®

The eSTOP® is a proven traffic control solution trusted by Tier-1 contractors across Australia and New Zealand and widely deployed on high-speed and high-risk work sites. Organisations choose eSTOP® because it delivers measurable safety improvements while making traffic control more consistent and predictable.

Improved worker safety
Traffic controllers are positioned away from live traffic, reducing exposure to heavy vehicles, distracted drivers, and unpredictable road conditions.

High visual presence for motorists
The large illuminated target board and signal lantern provide strong roadside visibility, allowing approaching drivers more time to recognise and respond to traffic control instructions.

Reliable operation in poor weather conditions
Unlike handheld stop/slow bats, eSTOP® remains highly visible in fog, rain, glare, and low-light environments, supporting safer traffic control in changing site conditions.

Reduced confrontation with motorists
By moving controllers away from the carriageway, eSTOP® helps minimise direct interaction with frustrated drivers and lowers the risk of roadside incidents.

Better working conditions for crews
Operators can supervise traffic control from safer positions, reducing sun exposure, fatigue, and dehydration during long shifts.

eSTOP®

  • Type-1 approved for use across Australia and New Zealand
  • Built-in fail-safe logic prevents conflicting green signals
  • Integrated tilt and rotation alarms for tamper and stability detection
  • Robust lightweight construction with components up to 8.4 kg for safe handling
  • Fully portable design for fast transport, setup, and relocation
  • Integrated target board (mandatory in NSW and New Zealand) Patent ID 2020100318
  • Up to 15 hours battery operating time per charge
  • Handheld remote controller options available with Bluetooth short-range control for local sites or LoRa long-range communication for extended site coverage (range dependent on environment and configuration)
  • Protected connection system with IP65-rated plugs designed to prevent incorrect cable connection
  • Newly engineered adjustable tripod legs for uneven terrain and variable height setup
  • Wind-load tested for stability in exposed roadside environments

eSTOP® Bluetooth

The eSTOP® Bluetooth has the ability to control up to 4 devices with a single HRC. (2 channel, 2 devices per channel) e.g. 1 x eSTOP, 1 x eBOOM on Channel 1, 1 x eSTOP, 1 x eBOOM on Channel 2.

In Multi Pair mode, one button will control two lanterns or one eBOOM and one eSTOP simultaneously.

For example, when deployed on one end of a two-lane road to ensure visibility for both lanes or to control the exit of a construction site and temporarily close all traffic when mobile plants leave.

Contact us for examples of use cases and application scenarios.

eSTOP® Standard (LoRa)

The eSTOP® Standard with LoRa communication extends the capability of the system with long-range, high-reliability wireless control.

Using the HRC-L controller, operators can control up to four devices arranged in two groups, for example one eSTOP and one eBOOM per group, enabling coordinated traffic control across larger or more complex sites.

LoRa communication provides up to 1.5 km line-of-sight operating range and also enables future upgrade to the HRCX controller, allowing transition to fully automated eSTOP AUTO operation if required.

Contact our team to discuss suitable deployment examples and site applications.

Soft Carry Case

Frequently Asked Questions

What comes in the eSTOP set?

Each set includes 2 units of eSTOP Lanterns, 2 Batteries, 2 Battery Holders, 2 tripod legs, and a hard carry case containing 2 HRC, 2 chargers for lantern batteries, 2 charging cables for HRC, dual-port wall charger that also functions as pairing cables, and 2 x C4 USB cable. Additional components, as well as additional spare parts, can be purchased separately.

Do you supply Australia and New Zealand wide?

We do supply Australia-wide. Orders for New Zealand should be placed via Fulton Hogan New Zealand, our exclusive distribution partner. Please visit our contact us page for more information.

What is the difference between the HRC and the HRC-L?

The difference is the communication technology used.

HRC operates via Bluetooth and is suited to standard worksite deployments where shorter-range communication is sufficient.

HRC-L operates via LoRa (Long Range) communication, providing significantly greater operating distance and improved reliability across larger or more complex sites.

LoRa allows control over extended ranges without relying on line-of-sight, making it better suited for:

  • Long work zones
  • Sites with obstructions
  • More stable communication

Both controllers operate in the same way from a user perspective — the difference is the communication capability behind the scenes.

Do you provide training for the eSTOP?
