Frequently asked
When is an Oversize Load Ahead sign required?
Australian transport regulations require this sign when a load exceeds standard width, height, or length limits; check your state's road authority for specific thresholds.
What size should I choose—1200×600 or a smaller alternative?
Available sizes are 1200 x 600mm. Viewing-distance notes are a practical selection aid, not a substitute for checking the approach distance, lighting, mounting position, wording and site risk assessment.
How do I secure the sign to my load or vehicle?
Signs can be bolted to frame mounts, strapped to the load, or attached via magnetic backing depending on your load type; we supply guidance during order.
Will the reflective finish fade in harsh sun?
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.
Do you offer discounts for transport operators?
Automatic volume pricing is 5–9 signs: 8% off, 10–24 signs: 15% off, 25–49 signs: 24% off, 50–99 signs: 32% off, 100+ signs: 40% off. The configurator is the source of truth and updates the unit price as quantity changes.
