Add mounting holes, lamination, or reflective finishes for enhanced visibility. Bulk orders and trade accounts receive preferential pricing; we deliver across Australia.

Frequently asked
What is the difference between Type A and Type B forklift signs?
Type A indicates general forklift operation zones with mixed traffic. Type B denotes restricted areas or high-speed zones where only authorised operators enter.
Is lamination worth the extra cost?
Lamination extends the life of printed signs by protecting against UV fade, scratches, and moisture ingress—worthwhile for outdoor or high-traffic areas.
What size should I choose for a large warehouse?
Available sizes are 225 x 300mm (Small), 300 x 450mm (Medium), 450 x 600mm (Large), 600 x 900mm (Extra Large). Viewing-distance notes are a practical selection aid, not a substitute for checking the approach distance, lighting, mounting position, wording and site risk assessment.
Can I customise the message text?
Standard designs follow AS 1319 wording. Custom text is available on request—contact sales for a quote and lead time.
Do you supply mounting hardware?
We provide pre-drilled holes; you'll need your own brackets, bolts, or adhesive depending on your surface. Colorbond steel can be welded or bolted.
