Why it works

The first sign drivers see

Warning from 800 yards

Drivers see the works coming from the best part of half a mile, with time to slow and change lane calmly.

Compliant on UK roads

Conforms to Chapter 8, BS 8442:2015, the Red Book 2013 and the TSRGD when set up to the code of practice.

Built from recycled plastic

Fully recycled polypropylene will not rust, will not conduct lightning and is worthless as scrap.

Ready straight off the van

Unfold the built-in retractable stand and the A-frame stands on its own - no tools or spare parts.

UK made

Manufactured in the UK by Melba Swintex, with bespoke vinyl faces made to order.
Overview

Men At Work with 800 yds Plate 750mm Q-Sign - Overview

The Men At Work with 800 yds Supplementary Plate Q-Sign puts the first warning of road works around 800 yards ahead of the site - the longest distance plate we stock for the 750mm triangle. Moulded in fully recycled polypropylene on the Melba Swintex A-frame, it is Chapter 8 compliant, rustproof and folds flat to 60mm between jobs.

Frequently asked questions

What does the 800 yds plate actually tell drivers?

It sits under the Men At Work triangle and warns that road works begin around 800 yards ahead, so traffic has the best part of half a mile to slow down and position correctly.

Which distance plate should I pick for my works?

Choose the plate that matches where the sign will stand relative to the works. We stock this sign with 100 yds, 300 yds and 800 yds plates, plus blank and other supplementary plates - the 800 yds version gives the earliest warning.

Is this sign legal for use on UK roads?

Yes. It conforms to Chapter 8 of the Traffic Signs Manual, BS 8442:2015, the Red Book 2013 and the TSRGD when set up to the Safety at Street Works code of practice.

How stable is it in windy weather?

The Q-Sign range is wind-tested and passes with the appropriate ballast fitted. Add ready-filled polypropylene sand bags or the clip-on Melba Swintex ballast weight on exposed sites.

How much room does it take up in the van?

Very little - the A-frame folds completely flat to 60mm deep and weighs 8.8kg, so it stacks with the rest of the signing kit. On pallets, 30 signs fit per single pallet.

Will it rust or attract metal theft if left on site?

No. The frame is 100% recycled polypropylene with no metal parts, so it cannot rust and has no scrap value - it can stay out overnight.

Can the sign face be customised?

Yes. Vinyl faces are made to order, so the same A-frame can carry a different diagram, distance or your own artwork. Ask about trade-account pricing for framework and bulk orders.
