Description
The double-sided Oversize Load Ahead sign provides visibility from both directions, essential for vehicles operating on two-way routes or in reversing scenarios. Measuring 1200×600 mm per face, this aluminium construction is available with Class 1 or Class 2 reflective finishes for maximum impact in all light conditions. Ideal for long-haul freight, wide-load escorts, and plant hire, the double-sided format eliminates the need for separate rear signage. Platinum Signs delivers these high-visibility signs across Australia with trade discounts, fast lead times, and expert advice on compliance and installation.
Final sign type, wording, size, placement and material depend on the site risk, project specification and applicable jurisdiction. Confirm the requirement with the relevant WHS adviser or regulator.

Frequently asked
Why choose a double-sided sign instead of two single signs?
Double-sided signs reduce weight, simplify mounting, and ensure consistent messaging front and rear—ideal for vehicles that reverse frequently or operate on two-way routes.
Are both sides identical or can they differ?
Both sides are identical by default; custom designs with different messaging on each face are available on request.
What is the total weight of a 1200×600 double-sided aluminium sign?
Approximately 8–10 kg depending on reflective grade; this is light enough for most vehicle mounting systems but we recommend professional installation.
How is the sign mounted between the two aluminium faces?
Signs are typically mounted via a central post or bracket system that holds both faces parallel; we provide mounting hardware recommendations based on your vehicle.
What's the lead time for double-sided signs?
Standard orders ship within 5–7 business days; bulk or custom orders may take longer—contact us for your specific timeline.
