History

Back in 1966, the only hazard delineation product on the market was the flare pot, a primitive device full of kerosene with a burning wick. A man named Lorne Hooper wanted to create a safer device, so he developed a flashing light fixed to a steel barricade. Lorne launched a small company called Alberta Traffic Supply Ltd., which was the first flashing light barricade rental company in western Canada. Armed with a handful of business cards and plenty of enthusiasm, Lorne introduced his product to Edmonton. The rest, as they say, is history. Over the years Lorne kept meeting the growing needs of the construction industry. His company grew, and as a result of his efforts, we now have over 500 people across Canada.
