Protruding Load Marker - 1520 x 300mm - Safety Signs by Caledonia Signs

An essential safety sign used to indicate when a load extends beyond the standard dimensions of a vehicle. Commonly used for items such as timber, pipes, or machinery, this marker warns other road users of overhanging cargo from the rear or sides of trucks, trailers, and utility vehicles. It is particularly valuable during transportation on public roads, industrial sites, or construction zones.

Although non-reflective, the marker is typically made with bright, high-visibility colours like red or orange to ensure it stands out in daylight or well-lit conditions. It is lightweight, easy to attach, and well-suited for both temporary and frequent use, offering a practical way to comply with safety guidelines without the need for permanent installation.

Using a protruding load marker significantly reduces the risk of collisions, injuries, or property damage by making the extended load clearly visible to drivers, pedestrians, and site workers. It also helps ensure compliance with legal requirements, as many jurisdictions mandate the use of such markers when loads extend more than one metre beyond the vehicle's body.
