Frequently asked
Is this sign suitable for night-time plant operation?
Yes, especially with Class 2 reflective coating. The reflective layer bounces light from vehicle headlights and spotlights, making the warning visible even in darkness.
What size should I choose for a large quarry?
Available sizes are 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 use corflute outdoors, or will it degrade?
Corflute is lightweight and cost-effective but has limited UV resistance. For permanent outdoor installation, Colorbond steel or laminated polypropylene will last longer.
Do you offer customisation for site-specific text?
We stock standard AS 1319 designs. For custom text or logos, contact our design team to discuss bespoke options and lead times.
How quickly can I receive an order of 100 signs?
Standard orders ship within 5–7 business days. Large bulk orders may require 10–14 days depending on material and finish. Expedited options are available on request.
