Men At Work 750mm Q-Sign with Weed Spraying supplementary plate
This Q-Sign adds a Weed Spraying supplementary plate to the 750mm Men At Work triangle (diagram 7001), warning drivers of spraying operations ahead - operatives on foot working along the verge or kerbline, usually moving steadily with the treatment run. The Melba Swintex A-frame is fully recycled black polypropylene with a built-in retractable stand, so it sets up in seconds and folds flat to travel with the crew.

Where it is used
- Verge and kerbline weed treatment on live roads
- Seasonal grounds maintenance rounds for councils and contractors
- Estate roads, business parks and campuses being treated
- Any works with operatives on foot moving along the highway
Stability and ballast
Spraying runs cover ground, so the sign gets moved often - but each time it stands, it needs to stay standing. The Q-Sign range is wind-tested and passes with the appropriate ballast: use ready-filled sand bags or the clip-on Melba Swintex ballast weight on open, exposed roads.

Customisation
The vinyl faces are made to order, so the same A-frame can carry a different legend, diagram or your own artwork - useful if your crews switch between spraying, mowing and other maintenance work. Ask about trade-account pricing for framework and bulk orders.
