Frequently asked questions
Where should I position this machinery guard sign?
Install at every entry point to the machine area and within the operational zone itself. This ensures no operator can miss the instruction before engaging equipment.
What's the difference between reflective Class 1 and Class 2?
Reflective grades provide different visibility performance. Choose the grade required by the project specification and site conditions, and confirm any road, traffic or high-risk requirement with the relevant authority before ordering.
Is polypropylene tough enough for a factory floor?
Yes. Polypropylene is impact-resistant and chemical-tolerant, making it ideal for workshops. Lamination adds extra protection against wear and fading.
Can I order a mix of sizes in one shipment?
Certainly. Combine any sizes and materials in a single order; we'll consolidate for one delivery and apply volume discounts across the total.
Do you provide installation guidance?
We include basic mounting instructions with every order. For custom installation support, contact our trade team—they can advise on placement and anchoring for your specific setup.
