Billboards on wheels — Gauteng
Billboards on wheels: the billboard that goes where your customers are
A traditional billboard waits for the traffic to come to it. A billboard on wheels goes to the traffic. Simply Visible SA mounts your ad on a purpose-built billboard trailer, parks it at eye level in the busiest spots of the Gauteng suburb you choose, and moves it four times a month — from R200 to R285 a day, with printing, setup, insurance and photo-proof reporting all included.

You get a photo every time it moves
Your trailer is repositioned four times a month. Every single move, you receive a photograph of your board on location. You never have to wonder whether it went up.
Why wheels beat concrete
The economics are simple. A fixed billboard site charges a premium for one location, seen mostly at speed from a distance. A billboard on wheels costs a fraction of that, sits at windscreen height in slow suburban traffic where drivers have time to read it, and when a spot stops working, the board simply moves. Over a three-month campaign your ad can work eleven different positions in the same suburb — the school run, the month-end shopping rush, the weekend sports fields — for less than most static sites charge for one.
Because every trailer in our fleet is insured with free third-party cover and replaced within 48 hours if damaged, the risk stays with us, not with your campaign. And after every reposition you receive a photo of your board on location, so you always know exactly where your billboard is working.
Frequently asked questions about billboards on wheels
What are billboards on wheels?
A billboard on wheels is a full-size advertising board mounted on a trailer or vehicle so it can move to where the audience is, instead of waiting for the audience to pass one fixed site. Simply Visible SA uses purpose-built billboard trailers parked in high-traffic positions across Gauteng and repositioned four times a month.
How much does a billboard on wheels cost?
Between R200 and R285 per day in Gauteng with Simply Visible SA, depending on commitment length. The rate includes the trailer, placement, monthly repositioning, in-house printing, free setup, weekly photo reports and full insurance — the daily rate is the whole price.
Are billboards on wheels effective?
Yes. Industry studies of mobile outdoor media consistently find that the large majority of people who pass a mobile billboard see it, and most can recall the advertiser afterwards — recall rates are typically higher than static boards because the board sits at eye level in slow suburban traffic rather than high above a freeway.
Where do the billboards go?
Wherever your customers are. We cover 16 suburbs across Gauteng — including Sandton, Midrand, Fourways, Centurion, Randburg, Krugersdorp, Boksburg, Benoni and the Vaal — and place each board at busy intersections, arterial roads and shopping centre approaches in the area you choose.
Is a billboard on wheels the same as a mobile billboard truck?
They work on the same principle, but a truck must keep driving (with a driver and fuel on the clock), while a billboard trailer is parked legally in a chosen high-visibility spot all day for a fraction of the cost, then moved to the next spot. For suburb-level campaigns in Gauteng, trailers deliver far more exposure hours per rand.
