Specialist highways vehicles for traffic management, road maintenance and infrastructure teams across the UK. TM vehicles, welfare vans, tippers, dropsides, crash cushion units and inspection vehicles — fully specified and delivered nationwide.
Chapter 8 compliant. FORS and CHAS ready. Night works equipped.
Highways and traffic management operations demand vehicles built to strict regulatory standards. Chapter 8 of the Traffic Signs Manual and the Traffic Signs Regulations and General Directions (TSRGD) set out the requirements for conspicuity, signing and lighting on all vehicles working within or adjacent to live traffic.
Vanadam sources and specifies the complete range of highways fleet vehicles — from traffic management lead vehicles and welfare vans to tippers, dropsides, crash cushion vehicles and inspection units. Every build is managed through one dedicated account manager to your exact specification.
Whether you operate under FORS, hold CHAS accreditation or run overnight resurfacing programmes, we deliver vehicles ready for immediate deployment on the network.

Traffic management lead and escort vehicles fully fitted to Chapter 8 specification with arrow boards, LED lightbars and TSRGD-compliant signing.
Mobile welfare facilities for highways crews including seating, cooking, toilet and drying facilities — available with Chapter 8 chevron kits for roadside deployment.
Impact protection vehicles equipped with certified crash cushion systems for motorway and dual carriageway lane closure operations and contraflow working.
Chapter 8 specified tipper and dropside trucks for materials delivery, pothole gangs and maintenance crews — built to work within live traffic environments.
Network inspection and survey vehicles with elevated lighting, LED warning systems, reverse cameras and storage for inspection equipment and signage.
Vehicles specified for overnight operations including enhanced LED warning beacons, floodlighting, reversing camera systems and high-visibility chevron livery.

Every highways vehicle Vanadam supplies is built to meet the regulatory and scheme requirements your contracts demand. Standard compliance features include:
We identify the right base vehicles from our trusted UK supplier network — matched to your compliance requirements, operational profile and budget.
We manage the full build with specialist highways vehicle converters — Chapter 8 kits, lighting systems, cameras, chevrons and all ancillary equipment.
We coordinate nationwide delivery and handover with all documentation completed — ready for immediate deployment on the network.
Every vehicle is built to Chapter 8, TSRGD and scheme-specific requirements. You get compliant fleet without managing the specification process yourself.
Properly specified vehicles built for the highways environment mean fewer issues on site and less time off the road through non-compliance or equipment failure.
Single vehicles or full fleet programmes — the same managed procurement service scales to your operation, whether you need one unit or fifty.
Your dedicated account manager handles sourcing, conversion, compliance documentation and delivery. One call covers everything.
Chapter 8 of the Traffic Signs Manual sets out the requirements for signing, lighting and guarding at roadworks. Any vehicle working within or adjacent to live traffic must comply with Chapter 8 specifications covering chevron patterns, arrow boards, warning lights and conspicuity markings. Non-compliant vehicles cannot legally operate in many highway schemes.
