Battery-Powered Digital A-Boards for the Pavement
A digital A-board does the job of a chalkboard or poster sandwich board, but with bright, moving content you can change in seconds. It runs on a rechargeable battery, so there are no cables across the pavement.
What is a digital A-board?
A digital A-board is a weatherproof outdoor screen in a portable stand that replaces a traditional pavement sandwich board. It runs on a rechargeable battery, so you wheel it out in the morning, bring it in at night and charge it overnight. Content such as offers and menus is updated from cloud software.

Frequently asked questions
How long does the battery last?
Battery life depends on the model, screen brightness and weather. Most are designed to last a full trading day and charge overnight. We will recommend a model that fits your opening hours.

Many councils have rules or licences for pavement A-boards. Check with your local council before using one on a public footway.

A-boards are designed to be brought in at the end of the day for charging and security.
