Description
Forklift Parking Area Sign – Parking Procedure Instructions
The W30368 forklift parking area sign gives operators a clear, step-by-step checklist of the procedures required when parking a forklift. Consequently, it is ideal for warehouses, distribution centres, logistics facilities, and any workplace that operates forklifts. The sign displays five essential parking instructions in bold black text on a high-visibility yellow background. Specifically, these cover brake engagement, fork position, mast angle, aisle clearance, and gas shut-off — the key steps for safely parking a gas-powered forklift.
Furthermore, this sign complies with AS1319, Australia’s standard for the design, format, and colour coding of workplace safety signs. In turn, compliance with AS1319 helps employers meet their obligations under workplace health and safety legislation. Because the sign uses the yellow background and black text that AS1319 specifies for warning signs, it communicates hazard information in a format that Australian workers already recognise.
The W30368 is available in five materials: 1.6mm aluminium, 0.55mm steel, polypropylene, corflute, and vinyl sticker. Aluminium and steel suit long-term indoor and outdoor installations. Similarly, polypropylene and corflute are lighter, cost-effective options for medium-term use. Additionally, vinyl sticker suits smooth walls and surfaces where operators prefer a self-adhesive format. An optional protective overlaminate is also available, extending the sign’s outdoor lifespan and protecting against UV exposure and surface damage.
Furthermore, National Safety Signs can customise this sign with your company name, logo, or additional text to meet your site’s requirements.
