Round "CAUTION FORKLIFT TRAFFIC" anti-skid vinyl floor sign

Round "CAUTION FORKLIFT TRAFFIC" anti-skid vinyl floor sign

EDCH is a round adhesive anti-skid laminated vinyl floor sign.

Each sign carries one language only: "CAUTION FORKLIFT TRAFFIC" in English or "ATTENTION CHARIOTS ÉLÉVATEURS" in French. Select the language and diameter you want from the drop-down menu before ordering.

The dimensions shown are for variant EDCH-18.

This round floor sign reminds people of forklift traffic right where it happens. Its black forklift pictogram on a yellow disc and its short caution message help pedestrians and forklift operators recognize a traffic area in warehouses and plants, at docks and indoor intersections, in industrial corridors and in order picking areas.

Features and format selection for the sign

The sign comes in two diameters and two languages, for four choices. Its 4 mil (0.004 in) self-adhesive vinyl backing carries a laminated anti-skid surface. This floor sign is suited to locations where a permanent reminder must be visible at circulation level. The adhesive anti-skid laminated vinyl helps keep the message readable while limiting the slip risk associated with adding signage to the floor.

One language per sign.

Applications of the forklift floor sign

Place the sign in passages where pedestrians and forklifts may cross and where pedestrians need to stay alert: indoor intersections, loading dock doors, areas near docks, loading areas, workshop entrances, warehouse and forklift aisles. Choose its location from the site's traffic plan, so the reminder appears where it truly helps people slow down, look or yield. It is especially useful when the reminder should be seen while looking at the floor path, as a complement to wall signs, markings, mirrors and traffic rules. Signage alone does not make a crossing safe.

Installing and maintaining the sign

Prepare a clean, dry, smooth surface that is compatible with the adhesive, then apply uniform pressure over the whole sign to support adhesion and avoid raised edges. For maintenance, clean it with a non-abrasive cloth. Replace it if the lamination, pictogram, colour or text becomes difficult to read, or if its edges lift.

FAQ about the forklift floor sign

Which diameter should I choose?

First compare the free floor space at the planned location, then select the larger format if the passage calls for a wider marker. These diameters are the formats offered, not regulatory requirements: your traffic plan remains the best guide.

Which message and language should I choose?

Choose the language understood by the people in the area; to reach both audiences, order one sign in each language.

What surface should the sign be applied to?

Check the surface at the exact application spot, since floor condition can change from one area to another.

When should the sign be replaced?

Add the sign to your regular site inspections to keep the reminder clear.

Does the sign replace a traffic plan, pathways and traffic rules?

No. It reinforces visual signage, but it must be used with designated lanes and pedestrian pathways, internal traffic and right-of-way rules, training and the other controls that apply. Include it in your facility's traffic policy, along with pathway marking and the other measures chosen for pedestrians and forklift operators.

Suggestions to complete forklift signage

Depending on the risks assessed for the job, complete the equipment of people moving near forklifts with an economical fluorescent orange safety vest (VV49), 3M Privo protective eyewear (YA12261) with clear lenses, TenActiv cut-resistant gloves (GS13TAFNT) with foam nitrile coating, K1 SafeGrip non-slip soles (VGETK1) without studs, for indoor use, and, where a head impact risk has been assessed, a Honeywell Everest hard hat (TA119R). This equipment does not protect against a collision with a forklift.

To complete the area, add the round floor sign for authorized personnel (EDPER) only, which limits a zone to authorized personnel, the wall-mounted warning sign for forklift (EOS509) traffic, the sign directing people to the pedestrian doorway (ECO129), the no entry sign for pedestrians (ECI200) and the do not obstruct (ECI210) sign. The striped black and yellow adhesive warning tape (ECT750) helps mark the passage, and the full dome convex mirror (M86) gives an overall view of an intersection.

To mark a traffic area, also see the distance sign (EDCOVID), which adds a floor-level separation reminder. The wand (EFLAS) improves flagger visibility and the compact baton (EFLAS3) offers a shorter lighted format. The flag (EFLA17) supports manual directions. The cone (EPTCONE) helps define a path or point to avoid. The paddle (EPALC18) gives a visible instruction to vehicles or pedestrians. The lamp (LL177) adds a constant or intermittent lighted marker.
