Steve - a regular Truckstops’ customer - is an advocate of TransQuip flip signs. He runs 19 truck-trailers on a regular route between Auckland and Christchurch and says the flip signs are vital to his business. “We cart a lot of dangerous goods.”

He says compared with TransQuips’s stainless-steel signs; the other flip signs didn’t quite ‘cut the mustard’. “The TransQuip signs are more robust – the clips don’t twist off.”

Picture of what other flip signs end up like after sea salt spray:

Steve says wind, weather and sea salt are day to day challenges for his fleet. “Other signs just can’t handle the jandal.”

Steve’s units typically have 4 signs at each end and clock-up 5,000kms a week. That’s a decent test for their TransQuip flip signs.

TransQuip’s BOP/Waikato Territory Manager Michael Hoyle explains standard steel signs can rust or degrade when exposed to moisture, heat, or chemicals, TransQuip’s stainless steel flip signs won’t. 

Michael says multiple operators who have switched from coated mild steel flip signs to TransQuip’s stainless steel, rust resistant product, find the clips stronger (which means a longer sign life) and a sharper look”, and they’ve been passing the message on to others in the industry.

TransQuip flip signs have 17 potential messages covering all dangerous goods classes. “Unique clips also keep the sign in place – other clips will degrade or twist out”.

Michael says that durability makes them ideal for long haul, as well as local businesses. “We’ve been told of trucks covering 20,000kms and the signs still look good.” 

Drivers take enormous pride in their trucks, so signs that come through power washing in addition to the elements and can be custom-branded with the company logo, are absolutely essential.
