And the best part? It’s all free for industry professionals to attend.
Bringing Innovation to Highways AU 2025 – See us at Stand B29
Highways AU 2025 is an exciting moment for us—it’s the first time in a decade that Bartco will be back on the exhibition floor, and we’re thrilled to be part of the action again. But don’t get us wrong: we haven’t been standing still. Over the past ten years, we’ve been busy doing what we do best—designing, manufacturing, and delivering world-class Intelligent Transport Systems across Australia and beyond.
This year, we’re bringing three of our standout solutions to Sydney:
- Portable Traffic Lights – flexible, reliable, and engineered for tough Australian conditions, these are trusted by contractors and road agencies nationwide – Upgrade your Portable Traffic Lights with Bartco’s new PTL Crossing Upgrade Button.
- Instaboom – our rapid-deployment barrier system that combines safety and efficiency, perfect for keeping road workers protected while minimising disruption.
- VMS WebStudio® – the smart, user-friendly software that ties it all together, giving operators real-time control and insights to manage traffic and assets with ease.
For us, returning to Highways AU isn’t about looking back—it’s about showing where the industry is headed. Our team can’t wait to connect, share ideas, and demonstrate how Bartco continues to drive innovation in safer, smarter road management.
