Protruding Load Marker - 685 x 685 x 610mm - Safety Signs by Caledonia Signs

This non-reflective protruding load sign is used to indicate and warn others of loads that extend beyond the normal dimensions of a vehicle, such as pipes, timber, or machinery that stick out from the rear or sides of trucks, trailers, or utility vehicles. These markers are essential for highlighting the presence of overhanging or projecting cargo, particularly during transit on public roads, construction sites, or industrial areas.

Using a protruding load marker helps prevent accidents, vehicle damage, and injury, as it alerts nearby drivers and pedestrians to the extended dimensions of the vehicle. Many jurisdictions legally mandate their use when loads extend beyond a certain distance—often more than 1 meter from the rear or side of a vehicle.

In summary, a Protruding Load Marker is a critical safety tool for any vehicle carrying oversised or overhanging cargo. It ensures the load is clearly marked and visible, supports compliance with road safety regulations, and significantly reduces the risk of collisions and roadside incidents.
