The Wanco Folding Frame Radar-Speed Trailers feature a large full-matrix LED display, oversize speed limit sign, and work zone sign. The display shows vehicle speed in bold 26-inch characters, warning motorists to slow down by flashing their excessive speed. Two trailer sizes accommodate large regulatory signs on a folding-frame design that pivots the signs up to the vertical position when deployed, and down to horizontal for transport. The signs frame is held in place with a single support that ensures ease of use and prevents damage.
