In the construction and events industry, traffic management is often treated as a grudge purchase—a bureaucratic box to tick, a necessary friction. At Fast Traffic Hire (FTH), we have dismantled this perception. We don’t just manage traffic; we engineer seamless motion.
Established in 2016 and backed by over 40 years of combined industry leadership, our mission is to elevate traffic control from a logistical hurdle into a strategic asset. We operate on a simple yet radical belief: The best traffic control is the kind you don’t notice. It is safe, invisible in its efficiency, and executed with a level of professionalism that enhances the reputation of every project we touch.
The Speed of Business: Why "Fast" Is Our First Name
In an industry where delays cost thousands, we built our operational model around velocity. We are Fast Traffic Hire by name and by nature.
Rapid Mobilisation: Our 24/7 crews are ready to deploy instantly, ensuring emergency works or last-minute shifts never stall your progress.
Permit Precision: We don’t let paperwork become a bottleneck. Our in-house planning team leverages deep relationships with VicRoads (DTP) and local councils to secure Traffic Management Plans (TMPs) and Guidance Schemes (TGSs) with unmatched speed and accuracy.
We replace the "wait and see" approach with "plan and execute," ensuring your permits are signed before the first boot hits the ground.
The 10 Commandments of Excellence
We are the only company in Melbourne governed by a codified set of values—our 10 Commandments of Traffic Management Excellence.
From "I. Put Safety First, Always" to "VII. Deliver Savings Through Smart Efficiency," these aren’t just slogans; they are the operating instructions for every staff member. We act with integrity under pressure. If a client pushes for a dangerous shortcut, we stand firm. Why? Because our reputation—and public safety—is worth more than any single job. This discipline is why major utility providers, film productions, and civil constructors trust us with their most complex sites.
The Human Difference: 5-Star Service in High-Vis
Technology and speed are essential, but our reviews reveal our true competitive edge: our people.
Traffic control is a public-facing role. Our controllers are often the first point of contact for your community. When you hire FTH, you aren’t getting tired, disengaged workers; you are getting brand ambassadors.
Our 5-star reviews tell the story best: from the crew member who stopped to help a stranger change a flat tyre, to the team praised for their "super friendly" demeanor on difficult job sites. We hire for attitude and train for skill. The result is a workforce that de-escalates road rage with a smile and keeps your site running with positive energy.
The FTH Promise
We are champions of safety, efficiency, and community well-being. Whether you need a complex multi-lane closure, an electrical spotter, or a precise plan for a film shoot, we deliver customised solutions that empower your vision.
Choose the company that sees the bigger picture. Choose the team that values your time as much as you do.
Fast Traffic Hire: One call. Zero shortcuts. Total confidence.
