Customer story: flip signs that stay put

Steve runs 19 truck-trailers between Auckland and Christchurch, and a lot of what he carries is dangerous goods. That makes his flip signs essential gear.

He tried other flip signs, but they didn’t hold up. “The TransQuip signs are more robust – the clips don’t twist off.” Our signs are stainless steel, built to handle weather, road grime and daily flipping on long-haul runs.

— Steve, New Zealand transporter

Fitout tip: a 30-second flip sign check

Do a quick pre-trip check before a dangerous goods run. Check clips are secure, sign is locked in the right position, and faces are clean and readable.
