Hella 1.2m LED Buggy Whip

To meet safety regulations, mine sites often require light vehicles to display high visibility safety flags to improve visibility for drivers of heavy machinery. Mounting onto the bumper bars of light vehicles, these give vehicles an extra layer of protection.

During night and poor visibility levels the operation of light vehicles generally requires the use of rotating safety beacons to improve visibility. However in mine sites where the topological surface contains large dips and hills, these may not be adequate.

By combining a bright LED with a long reflective safety flag, drivers of light vehicles can ensure they are always in the line of sight of heavy machinery.

The LED module puts negligible load on the vehicles electrical system (less than 1W), the shaft is constructed from a high quality fiberglass rod, sealing the electrical components from weather damage. The flag mounts to the vehicle via a quality quick release latch allowing the flag to be taken down when the vehicle is off site. The cable is terminated with a DT plug, allowing quick removal whilst sealing the electrics from environmental damage.

The flag contains reflective UV resistant material and the nylon material repels the high levels of dirt and dust often encountered in mine sites.
