Description
The Strong Currents Picto is a language-neutral warning marker for rip-prone beaches where detailed hazard signage already exists at primary entry points. Displaying the AS 2416.1 yellow triangle with current-arrow symbol, it works as a supplementary beacon between patrol stations or along high-risk stretches of coastline. Available in durable polypropylene or marine-grade aluminium in three sizes: 300×450 mm (inter-patrol marker standard), 450×600 mm (mid-zone placement), and 600×900 mm (zone boundaries). Both materials resist salt spray and UV degradation. Holes and lamination options support quick installation and extended lifespan. Platinum Signs delivers Australia-wide within 5–7 working days. Trade accounts receive bulk discounts on orders of 5+ units; contact our team for volume pricing on multi-beach rollouts.
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
What's the standard size for inter-patrol marker posts?
The appropriate safety-sign category, wording, placement and supporting controls depend on the product purpose, site risk and applicable jurisdiction. Confirm the requirement with your WHS adviser or regulator; a sign alone does not discharge WHS duties.
Which material suits permanent beachfront installation?
Marine-grade aluminium withstands salt spray and UV better than polypropylene over 3+ years of continuous exposure. Polypropylene is cost-effective for shorter-term or secondary markers.
Can I order holes pre-drilled?
Yes. Four-corner pre-drilled holes are an optional extra with a base surcharge of $3.00 inc GST per sign for the listed configurations, before any applicable volume discount. Select the option to update the configured total before adding to cart.
Do you offer bulk pricing for multiple beaches?
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.
