Why it works

Built to stand up to site conditions

Meets Chapter 8 and BS 8442:2015

The A-frame and sign face conform to BS 8442:2015, Chapter 8 of the Traffic Signs Manual, the Red Book 2013 and TSRGD.

No assembly on site

The retractable stand is built into the frame, so it unfolds and stands on its own - nothing to bolt or clip together.

Made from recycled polypropylene

The fully recycled plastic frame will not rust and carries no scrap value, so it is not worth stealing.

Built for outdoor exposure

Non-conductive polypropylene shrugs off rain and knocks, so the sign can be left out on site between shifts.

Single-person handling

At 9.8kg with no sharp edges, one operative can lift, position and pack the sign away unaided.

Frequently asked questions

When do I need a Heavy Plant Crossing sign?

Wherever mobile plant - excavators, dumpers, loading shovels - regularly crosses a road, footway or site route used by other traffic or pedestrians. It gives drivers clear warning before they reach the crossing point.

Does it stand up on its own?

Yes. The retractable stand is built into the A-frame, so there are no separate legs to fit - unfold it and the sign is ready.

What do I use to hold it down in wind?

The Q-Sign range has been wind-tested with the appropriate ballast weightings. In exposed spots add ready-filled sandbags or a sign ballast weight over the frame; we stock both.

Will it rust if it's left outside?

No. The frame and stand are fully recycled polypropylene with no metal parts, so there is nothing to rust and nothing worth stealing for scrap.

How many fit on a pallet?

30 signs fold flat to a single pallet, so a full site set can move and store easily between jobs.

Can I get a different message on this frame?

Yes - bespoke vinyl sign faces are available on the same A-frame, from standard legends to your own wording. Email sales@streetsolutionsuk.com with what you need.

Is this one in stock now?

Yes, this sign is in stock. For a specific delivery date get in touch and we will confirm timing before you order.
