Same-Day Forklift and Warehouse Signs

Warehouses mix people, forklifts and high racking, so signage helps keep pedestrians and vehicles apart. Typical needs include forklift warnings, pedestrian crossing points, aisle and bay identification and racking load notices.

Typical signs in this category

  • Caution: forklifts operating
  • Pedestrians must use the marked walkway
  • No pedestrians in this aisle
  • Forklift crossing
  • Aisle and bay identification
  • Racking load notice (to your racking supplier's information)
  • Speed limit for site vehicles
  • Loading bay: keep clear

Choosing a size

In warehouses, signs must be seen by forklift drivers as well as pedestrians, so place them at heights both can see and size them for the travel distance along an aisle. Aisle identification is often hung high and made large enough to read from the far end, A3 or bigger, while column and racking-end signs are commonly A4.

Standards and compliance

Warehouse safety signs typically follow SANS 1186 symbols and colours, and the OHS Act together with the Driven Machinery Regulations cover forklift and lifting equipment duties. Racking load information should come from your racking supplier or engineer. The customer remains responsible for correct content and placement; we print to the artwork or specification supplied or agreed.

FAQs

Can you print a sequence of aisle numbers?
Yes. Give us the numbering or lettering sequence and sizes, and we will print each sign in order.
Can you print racking load signs?
Yes, using the load figures supplied by your racking supplier or engineer. We do not calculate load ratings.
Do floor signs hold up to forklift traffic?
Floor-grade vinyl is made for foot traffic and light trolleys; heavy, turning forklift traffic wears any floor graphic faster. Painted or tape markings may suit those spots better.
Can signs be double-sided for hanging?
Yes. Hanging aisle markers are often double-sided so they read from both directions.
