Manual Oversize Load Ahead Pilot Vehicle Sign

The Manual Oversize Load Ahead Pilot Vehicle Sign is designed and engineered in Australia. Built tough for the Australian environment and road conditions, these signs identify oversized equipment onboard trucks and trailers.

Our Ranges: Choose between top-of-the-line and affordable.

• Premium Range – “If you are a serious Pilot Vehicle Driver, then you will need the brightest beacon in Australia”. This beacon is a flashing light that other motorists cannot ignore. They will pull off the road lickety-split. Read more about this beacon HERE.
• Standard Range – This is our most common type of beacon paired with our Manual Oversize Load Ahead Pilot Kit. It is a step down from our Mega Bright (Premium Range) but still ticks enough boxes. This beacon is perfect for serious Pilot Vehicle Drivers on a budget. Read more about this beacon HERE.
• Economy Range – This beacon is requested by our agriculture Pilot Vehicle Drivers who run the odd oversized load when the season calls for it. The micro beacon also makes it easy to drive under height restrictions. Affordable yet still built heavy-duty. Read more about this beacon HERE.
• Halogen Range – Not everybody loves LED Beacons, so the Halogen Range gives you the option to have a halogen beacon on your Pilot Vehicle Sign. Read more about this beacon HERE.

Also taken into account that different state’s laws may differ. (e.g. Illuminated sign for South Australia.) We keep up to date with all law changes and have kits for all states ready to ship within 2-3 working days.

FAQS

Does the Pilot Vehicle Sign lock in the open/close position?
Yes, it does. This is a feature that is very important to our customers.

How do I attach my Pilot Vehicle Sign to my vehicle?
Roof racks are the most straightforward and most practical option for attaching your Pilot Vehicle Sign. Our sign frame is designed to have 4 mounting points in each corner of the frame. These points align with most adjustable roof racks.

Can I attach my Pilot Vehicle Sign to a headboard/sports bar?
Yes, you can, although the end user must ensure the correct bracket is mounted to align with the pre-drilled holes on each corner of our RoadBase sign frame. There are a lot of different headboards/sports bars, the end-user will have to provide this solution for their specific application.

Can I get a custom-made sign to suit my requirements?
Yes, we do provide this option with our Build Your Own Pilot Vehicle Sign. Or you can contact us to discuss your unique requirements.

Can I get my sign frame powder-coated in a different colour?
Yes, please note that this will incur extended lead times and additional costs.
