Frequently asked questions

When would I choose the 400 yds plate over a shorter distance?

The plate states how far ahead the works are, so pick 400 yds when the sign has to sit well back from the works - typically longer or faster approaches. The same sign is available with other distance plates, including 100 yds.

Which standards does it meet?

It conforms to Chapter 8 of the Traffic Signs Manual, BS 8442:2015, the Red Book 2013 and the TSRGD, so it is suitable for UK road and street works when set up correctly.

What is it made of?

The A-frame is moulded from fully recycled polypropylene in black. There is no metal in it, so nothing rusts, nothing conducts lightning and there is no scrap value to attract theft.

How does it store between jobs?

The frame folds flat to 60mm and stacks, and full loads palletise at 30 signs to a single pallet, which keeps transport and yard space down.

Do I need ballast?

On exposed or windy pitches, yes - the range is wind-tested with ballast fitted. Polypropylene sand bags or the clip-on Melba Swintex ballast weight both work.

Can one person put it out?

Yes - it weighs 8.8kg, and the retractable stand is part of the frame, so one operative can carry it and have it standing in seconds.

Can you print a different face?

Bespoke vinyl faces are available to order, so the frame can carry another legend, symbol or distance. Ask about trade-account pricing for volume orders.
