Overview

This warning sign marks out a battery charging point and the risks around it. Typical homes for it are workshops, UPS rooms and forklift charging bays. Our forklifts charging sign printing is made to order in the size and board you choose.

Reading the sign

It reads "Forklifts Charging". Yellow triangle, black border: the shape everyone reads as "watch out". The layout is a yellow triangle above black wording, plus the ISO 7010 W014 symbol (forklift trucks and other industrial vehicles).

Putting it up

At the charging bay, facing the way people walk up to it. Mark the store and the route to it, so the warning is seen before anyone opens a door.

The right size for forklifts charging sign printing depends on the reading distance. Reading distance is worked out from the sign’s short side: about a metre for every 25 mm, the distance factor from ISO 3864-1. That makes A4 to about 8 m, A3 to about 12 m, A2 to about 17 m and A1 to about 24 m. Long corridors, yards and car parks need the bigger sizes.

Forklifts charging sign printing: which material

For forklifts charging sign printing, pick the board to suit the spot:

  • 3mm Foamex, a rigid PVC foam board that screws or sticks up easily and is happiest indoors or out for a season
  • 3mm Dibond, aluminium skins on a solid core, the one to pick for a sign that stays outside for years
  • self-adhesive vinyl, which sticks flat to smooth walls, doors, glass and machine guards

Indoors, Foamex or vinyl is plenty; for years outdoors, Dibond is the one.

Match the sign to what is actually stored, and update it if the contents change.

COSHH and the Health and Safety (Safety Signs and Signals) Regulations 1996 both expect areas holding hazardous substances to be marked, so nobody walks in without knowing the risk.

Send a print-ready PDF, build it in the online designer, or pay for our artwork service (you get 1 design and 2 rounds of changes). Whichever you pick, a person checks the file before it prints. Each forklifts charging sign printing job is printed to order and sent out from the UK. Postage is £7.95 to the UK mainland and free over £100, worked out after discounts and not counting artwork fees. Mainland Highlands postcodes add £10; Northern Ireland, the islands, the Isle of Man, the Channel Islands, Scilly and the Isle of Wight are quoted. Full details are on the delivery page.

Which size do I need?

A safety sign must be large enough to read from where people will see it. Our conservative guide, based on the distance-factor method in ISO 3864-1, is about 1 metre of viewing distance for every 25 mm of sign height (the shorter side). Use it with your own risk assessment.

SizeReadable from up to about
A4 (210 × 297 mm)8 m
A3 (297 × 420 mm)12 m
A2 (420 × 594 mm)17 m
A1 (594 × 841 mm)24 m

Well lit or internally lit signs can be read from further away; dim areas need larger signs.

Questions

Quick answers about forklifts charging sign printing.

How big should the Forklifts Charging sign be?

Think about the furthest point someone needs to read it from. For "Forklifts Charging", A4 (210 × 297 mm) for readers up to 8 m away, A3 (297 × 420 mm) for readers up to 12 m away, A2 (420 × 594 mm) for readers up to 17 m away and A1 (594 × 841 mm) for readers up to 24 m away. Those distances assume ordinary light, so if it is gloomy or people are driving past, step up one size.

Is the symbol on this sign an ISO 7010 one?

Yes: W014, Forklift trucks and other industrial vehicles. The "Forklifts Charging" text sits alongside it, and the pictogram is taken from public domain artwork.

Where do I fix the Forklifts Charging sign?

For "Forklifts Charging", the usual spot is at the charging bay, facing the way people walk up to it. Fix it where it will not be hidden by doors, deliveries or vehicles.

Am I legally required to display "Forklifts Charging"?

COSHH and the Health and Safety (Safety Signs and Signals) Regulations 1996 expect stores and areas holding hazardous substances to be marked. That way people know the risk before they walk in. Your risk assessment is what decides the exact positions.

Will the Forklifts Charging sign survive outdoors?

Yes, if you order it in Dibond, which cope with rain. Foamex is better kept indoors or somewhere sheltered. Pick the material in the options before you order.

Why is the Forklifts Charging sign in these colours?

A yellow triangle with a black edge always means a hazard is ahead. The "Forklifts Charging" sign uses that standard layout, so people read its meaning before the words.

Asked by buyers

How cheaply can I get hold of the Forklifts Charging Sign?

Picked the way the page first loads, with A4 (210 × 297 mm) and self-adhesive vinyl, the Forklifts Charging Sign comes to £5.02. Any other mix of options, a faster turnaround included, gets its own price the moment you choose it, and that figure is what you pay at checkout. Only delivery is left to add. On its own the opening price of £5.02 would add £7.95 for mainland delivery; reach £100 of goods and that goes to zero.

Which turnaround speeds can I choose for the Forklifts Charging Sign?

Allow 6 working days on Saver, 4 on Standard or 2 on Express before the Forklifts Charging Sign is handed to the courier, based on the options the page opens with. Weekends and bank holidays are not counted, and nothing starts until the order is paid and the artwork is confirmed. Pick another size or material and the days beside each speed update, sometimes by a day. After it leaves us, the courier normally delivers in one to three working days and you get the tracking link by email.

Which artwork services are offered with the Forklifts Charging Sign?

Several routes, all chosen under Artwork on this page. Send your own finished file (no charge), we set your words and logo on a tidy layout, called typesetting (£15), we design it from your brief (£35), we redraw a blurry or low quality logo as sharp vector art (£30) or we create a brand new logo (£50). Typesetting and design from a brief each come with one first draft and two rounds of changes. The fee is the same whatever quantity you order and shows separately in the basket. For this sign, the material can be self-adhesive vinyl, 3mm Dibond aluminium composite or 3mm Foamex. On this page, Forklifts Charging Sign starts from £5.02.

Which size of the Forklifts Charging Sign can people read from further away?

Rough reading distances for "Forklifts Charging": about 8 m for A4, 12 m for A3, 17 m for A2 or 24 m for A1. The rule of thumb behind them: each 25 mm of height buys roughly one metre of distance. If the light is poor, or people pass quickly on foot or at the wheel, go for the next size up. The figures use the distance factor from ISO 3864-1, and your own risk assessment should settle the final choice. Sizes for this sign go from A4 (210 × 297 mm) at the small end to A1 (594 × 841 mm), 4 in all.

Which is the smallest and which the biggest sign I can order here?

The table has 4 sizes. At the small end, A4 (210 × 297 mm) costs from £5.02; at the top, A1 (594 × 841 mm) costs from £15.12. Each figure is for the cheapest set of options at that size. Unsure? Measure where it will go and check the view from the spot people will stand. Sizes for this sign go from A4 (210 × 297 mm) at the small end to A1 (594 × 841 mm), 4 in all. On this page, Forklifts Charging Sign starts from £5.02.

What message is a Forklifts Charging Sign giving?

Start with the symbol on "Forklifts Charging". W014 is the ISO 7010 pictogram for forklift trucks and other industrial vehicles, so even someone without much English gets the gist at a glance. The design follows the warning sign pattern (a black-edged yellow triangle), used to flag up a hazard. That colour and shape code is laid down by the 1996 Safety Signs and Signals Regulations. Typical spots: a charging bay, a mobility scooter store or a warehouse.

Can I mix different safety signs in a single order?

You can. Each sign gets a separate basket line, with whatever size and board suit it, and you pay once at the end. Delivery is charged per order, not per sign: £7.95 to the UK mainland, or free once the goods come to £100 or more. For "Forklifts Charging" the sizes are A4, A3, A2 and A1. Before delivery, this sign costs from £5.02.

And the largest sign, A1 (594 × 841 mm): how much is that one?

From £15.12, with the cheapest settings and the Saver service. Material by material, it is 3mm Foamex at £63.13, 3mm Dibond aluminium composite at £88.40 and self-adhesive vinyl at £15.12. Add £7.95 for UK mainland delivery, or nothing at all once the goods reach £100. Select it on the page and swap materials, finishes and speed to watch how the figure moves. Sizes for this sign go from A4 (210 × 297 mm) at the small end to A1 (594 × 841 mm), 4 in all. On its opening option, Forklifts Charging Sign leaves us after 6 working days on Saver.

I need several signs, some in different sizes. How do I buy them?

Each price on the page is for a single sign in the size and material chosen. Put the number you want in the box beside Add to basket and the total multiplies. For a different size or material, add it as a separate line; the basket keeps them apart. An artwork fee is charged once per line, whatever the quantity, and choosing to reuse the artwork from another item in your basket costs nothing more. Very large runs can go through Get a quote. Nothing is printed ahead of time: each sign is made to order for you. Before delivery, this sign costs from £5.02. For reference, Forklifts Charging Sign is listed in 4 sizes, the smallest being A4 (210 × 297 mm).

I am not a business. Can I buy just one sign?

Of course. Anyone can order, with no trade account and no minimum beyond one. Prices for the Forklifts Charging Sign begin at £5.02, checkout works without an account and you pay by card. Parents, clubs, churches and small shops order single items all the time. On its own the opening price of £5.02 would add £7.95 for mainland delivery; reach £100 of goods and that goes to zero.

Could the total go up after I reach the checkout?

No surprises: what the page shows for this sign is the goods figure you pay at checkout. Delivery is the one extra, £7.95 to a UK mainland address, and it drops away when the goods reach £100 after discounts. Paid artwork help shows up as its own basket line, so you can check each amount before paying. Sizes for this sign go from A4 (210 × 297 mm) at the small end to A1 (594 × 841 mm), 4 in all. Nothing is printed ahead of time: each sign is made to order for you. On its opening option, Forklifts Charging Sign leaves us after 6 working days on Saver.

Could you price an A2 (420 × 594 mm) sign for me?

From £9.33, with the cheapest settings and the Saver service. Material by material, it is 3mm Foamex at £42.91, 3mm Dibond aluminium composite at £61.17 and self-adhesive vinyl at £9.33. Add £7.95 for UK mainland delivery, or nothing at all once the goods reach £100. Select it on the page and swap materials, finishes and speed to watch how the figure moves. Sizes for this sign go from A4 (210 × 297 mm) at the small end to A1 (594 × 841 mm), 4 in all. On this page, Forklifts Charging Sign starts from £5.02.

Our event is close. Can the Forklifts Charging Sign be rushed?

Yes. Choose Express and the Forklifts Charging Sign can be on the way in 2 working days on the opening option, for £6.68, where Saver is £5.02 and takes 6 days. Then give the courier one to three working days, and send the artwork with the order, because the clock does not run until the file is sorted. If the date is really tight, message us on the Contact page before paying and we will tell you honestly.

How many pixels does a photo need to print well on this sign?

Close-up items need about 300 dpi at full size. So an A1 (594 × 841 mm) layout wants about 7,016 by 9,933 pixels. Keep lettering and logos as vectors if you can. An image copied off a web page or a social post rarely has enough pixels; if yours looks likely to print soft, our file check flags it. Sizes for this sign go from A4 (210 × 297 mm) at the small end to A1 (594 × 841 mm), 4 in all. On this page, Forklifts Charging Sign starts from £5.02.

Will anyone look at my file before it is printed?

Yes, a real person on our team opens every uploaded file and checks the size, the bleed and the resolution. If something is off, you hear from us before anything is made. We print what you send, though, so read the spelling, numbers and dates yourself as well. Making starts when the order and the file are both confirmed. For this sign, the material can be self-adhesive vinyl, 3mm Dibond aluminium composite or 3mm Foamex. Make the artwork for this sign the same size as the one you order, such as A4 (210 × 297 mm). For reference, Forklifts Charging Sign is listed in 4 sizes, the smallest being A4 (210 × 297 mm).

Can the wording on a Forklifts Charging Sign be changed, or our logo added?

Yes. To reword "Forklifts Charging" or add a logo, pick the typesetting option (£15) for your text and logo on a clean layout, or the design-from-your-brief option (£35), then send us the details. Both paid options include one first draft and two rounds of changes. Uploading your own print-ready file costs nothing, and someone on our team looks it over before printing. Leave the safety symbol and its colours untouched, though: altering them makes the meaning less clear. Sizes for this sign go from A4 (210 × 297 mm) at the small end to A1 (594 × 841 mm), 4 in all.

Someone else is putting our file together. How does it reach you?

Easiest route: they send the finished file to whoever placed the order, and it gets uploaded after ordering. Up to 3 files of 25 MB each are fine. They can also reach us through the Contact page, as long as they quote your order number so it lands on the right job. Production waits for the checked file, so a late file means a later dispatch date. For this sign, the material can be self-adhesive vinyl, 3mm Dibond aluminium composite or 3mm Foamex. Sizes for this sign go from A4 (210 × 297 mm) at the small end to A1 (594 × 841 mm), 4 in all. On this page, Forklifts Charging Sign starts from £5.02.

Does the Forklifts Charging Sign come in a peel-and-stick version?

It does. Pick self-adhesive vinyl from the material list and it comes as a peel-off sticker. That is handy on a glass shop door, a classroom cupboard, a machine or a smooth painted wall, anywhere screwing a board up would be awkward. Wipe the spot, let it dry, then press it down from the centre outwards to push the air away. On rough brick or dusty surfaces, a board will hold better. For this sign, the material can be self-adhesive vinyl, 3mm Dibond aluminium composite or 3mm Foamex. For reference, Forklifts Charging Sign is listed in 4 sizes, the smallest being A4 (210 × 297 mm).

What thickness is the Forklifts Charging Sign, and does it feel sturdy?

Three millimetres, whichever board you go for. Pick self-adhesive vinyl instead and you get a thin film that lies flat against whatever you stick it to. Dibond feels stiff because a plastic core is sandwiched between two thin aluminium sheets, yet it is still simple to screw or stick up. Foamex is foamed PVC, so it weighs very little in the hand. For this sign, the material can be self-adhesive vinyl, 3mm Dibond aluminium composite or 3mm Foamex. Material choices for Forklifts Charging Sign: 3mm Foamex, 3mm Dibond aluminium composite or self-adhesive vinyl.

We are putting up a full set of signs at our premises. Which ones sit well next to this one?

A school corridor, a shop floor or a club house rarely needs just one notice. Two that often go up beside this one: Gas Leak Action Do Not Sign and Gas Mains Shut Off Valve Keep Clear Sign. Keep every sign in one board type so the set matches, look up sizes and prices on each page, then check out once: one delivery charge for the whole basket, free over £100 of goods. For this sign, the material can be self-adhesive vinyl, 3mm Dibond aluminium composite or 3mm Foamex.

Will a Forklifts Charging Sign cope with rain and wind outdoors?

Rain is rarely the problem for "Forklifts Charging"; sunshine is. Every printed sign fades slowly in strong sun, so make a habit of checking outdoor ones and renew any that have faded too far. Dibond is the board to pick for a permanent outdoor home. Foamex copes with a covered spot but prefers life indoors. For this sign, the material can be self-adhesive vinyl, 3mm Dibond aluminium composite or 3mm Foamex.

It gets dark early in winter. Can people still read the Forklifts Charging Sign in the evening?

Not in pitch darkness. Pick Foamex, Dibond or vinyl sticker and it is the same story: nothing on this page reflects headlights or glows by itself. Fix it where a street light, porch light or security lamp already shines, or fit a small light above it. Where a risk assessment asks for photoluminescent or reflective signs, those need to come from a specialist maker rather than from us. For this sign, the material can be self-adhesive vinyl, 3mm Dibond aluminium composite or 3mm Foamex. Before delivery, this sign costs from £5.02. On its opening option, Forklifts Charging Sign leaves us after 6 working days on Saver.

What is the easiest way to put up a Forklifts Charging Sign?

To mount "Forklifts Charging" on a wall, drill a hole near each corner of the board and screw it on with a washer under each head; stop once it feels snug, as Foamex in particular does not like being overtightened. Where drilling is not wanted, say on a painted door or a smooth wall inside, double-sided foam tape or sticky pads hold it well. For a fence, make a hole at each corner and loop cable ties through. The vinyl one needs no tools: peel off the backing and press it on once the surface has been wiped and dried. For this sign, the material can be self-adhesive vinyl, 3mm Dibond aluminium composite or 3mm Foamex.

Does the material change the price of the Forklifts Charging Sign?

Taking the smallest size, A4 (210 × 297 mm), as the example: self-adhesive vinyl at £5.02, 3mm Dibond aluminium composite at £40.79 and 3mm Foamex at £27.79. Larger sizes follow a similar pattern, and the full grid sits in the size table further up the page. Think about where it is going first: a cheap material in the wrong spot can end up costing more. Before delivery, this sign costs from £5.02. On this page, Forklifts Charging Sign starts from £5.02.

Do we legally have to display a Forklifts Charging Sign?

Your risk assessment answers that one for "Forklifts Charging". Where it shows a risk still remains after other steps, the 1996 Safety Signs and Signals Regulations say an employer must signpost it, and that applies to a cafe with two staff as much as a factory. Signs back up the other measures you take; they are never a substitute for them. The symbol on this sign follows ISO 7010, reference W014.

Who looks after me once I have bought the Forklifts Charging Sign?

FatPrint does, from start to finish. We take your order and payment, a person on our team checks your file, and the Forklifts Charging Sign is made to order for you rather than taken off a shelf. It then goes to you by courier, with tracking sent by email. Questions before or after ordering go through the box on this page or the Contact page, and a person replies.

Our treasurer needs a receipt for the accounts. What do we get?

Keep the order confirmation email we send: it itemises the purchase and the payment, and works as a plain receipt for your records. The total at checkout for this sign is the goods price on the page plus delivery, so the email matches what left the account. Need something more formal for an audit or a grant claim? Message us from the Contact page with your order number. Sizes for this sign go from A4 (210 × 297 mm) at the small end to A1 (594 × 841 mm), 4 in all. Nothing is printed ahead of time: each sign is made to order for you. On this page, Forklifts Charging Sign starts from £5.02.

I have spotted a typo after paying. Can it be fixed?

Tell us quickly through the Contact page, quoting your order number. Before production starts we can take a corrected file, or cancel and refund the whole order. After that it cannot be changed. A print that matches your finished design or the file you sent is not a fault, so it pays to read every word and number before you order. Before delivery, this sign costs from £5.02. Nothing is printed ahead of time: each sign is made to order for you. Material choices for Forklifts Charging Sign: 3mm Foamex, 3mm Dibond aluminium composite or self-adhesive vinyl.

How do I work out how many Forklifts Charging signs to order?

Picture someone arriving for the first time. Every door they could come through, every approach to the risk and every corner where the route bends is a place for a sign. Large sites and long corridors usually need repeats, with bigger versions where people read from a distance. Put matching signs on a single basket line and raise the quantity; different sizes or materials go on lines of their own. Nothing is printed ahead of time: each sign is made to order for you. Sizes for this sign go from A4 (210 × 297 mm) at the small end to A1 (594 × 841 mm), 4 in all. On its opening option, Forklifts Charging Sign leaves us after 6 working days on Saver.

I am not sure which options to pick for this sign. Can someone advise me?

Yes. Type your question into the box on this page and a real person replies. Mention where the sign will be used, how long you need it to last and the date you need it by. Answered questions may be shown on the page for other buyers, so leave personal details out of it. Private questions can go through the Contact page, and anything the options here cannot price can go through the Get a quote page. Nothing is printed ahead of time: each sign is made to order for you. Before delivery, this sign costs from £5.02. Material choices for Forklifts Charging Sign: 3mm Foamex, 3mm Dibond aluminium composite or self-adhesive vinyl.

Next year we will want the same sign again. Is reordering easy?

Very. Choose the same product with the same options and upload the same file, and it is made again exactly as before. Save the final print file somewhere safe, as that makes a repeat order a two-minute job. Before you repeat it, read the wording again: dates, prices, opening times and contact details are the things that go out of date. Nothing is printed ahead of time: each sign is made to order for you. Before delivery, this sign costs from £5.02. Material choices for Forklifts Charging Sign: 3mm Foamex, 3mm Dibond aluminium composite or self-adhesive vinyl.

Our club needs a big batch of signs, or an odd size. Can you price it?

Yes. Fill in our Get a quote page, giving the size, how many, the material, when you need it and the delivery postcode, and attach your artwork if it is ready. A price comes back to you by email. Get a quote is also how delivery to Northern Ireland and the islands gets priced. Before delivery, this sign costs from £5.02. Nothing is printed ahead of time: each sign is made to order for you. For reference, Forklifts Charging Sign is listed in 4 sizes, the smallest being A4 (210 × 297 mm).

Do I pay delivery on each item in my basket?

No. One delivery charge covers the whole basket, so adding the Forklifts Charging Sign to other items does not add a second one. It is £7.95 to a UK mainland address and nothing once the goods total £100 after any discount code. Using the same design on two items? Pick the reuse-artwork option on the second one and you pay the artwork fee just once. Each line keeps its own size and quantity.

I am ordering this sign for a school or charity. Do I need to open an account?

No account is needed. Guest checkout lets a parent, volunteer or club secretary order once and pay by debit or credit card through Stripe. The price you see is the price you pay at checkout, and the confirmation email you receive lists the items and the amount paid for your records. If the committee needs a price agreed before anyone pays, the Get a quote page is the better starting point. Before delivery, this sign costs from £5.02. Nothing is printed ahead of time: each sign is made to order for you. Material choices for Forklifts Charging Sign: 3mm Foamex, 3mm Dibond aluminium composite or self-adhesive vinyl.

Can the Forklifts Charging Sign carry wording in two languages, for example English and Welsh?

Yes. Choose the typesetting option (£15) and send us the words in every language you want on it. That covers one first draft and two rounds of changes. We lay out the text exactly as you supply it but we do not translate, so have the translation done first. Leave the symbol and colours as they are, so the meaning is clear whichever language someone reads. For this sign, the material can be self-adhesive vinyl, 3mm Dibond aluminium composite or 3mm Foamex. Make the artwork for this sign the same size as the one you order, such as A4 (210 × 297 mm). Material choices for Forklifts Charging Sign: 3mm Foamex, 3mm Dibond aluminium composite or self-adhesive vinyl.

Some of our visitors have poor eyesight. Will this sign be easy for them to read?

Three things help most: strong contrast between the words and the background, a plain bold font, and a size that matches how far away people will be. Our standard safety sign layouts use the high-contrast colour pairings laid down for safety signs. Mount the sign at eye height, where it is well lit and not catching glare, and keep the message short. Sizes for this sign go from A4 (210 × 297 mm) at the small end to A1 (594 × 841 mm), 4 in all. Make the artwork for this sign the same size as the one you order, such as A4 (210 × 297 mm). For reference, Forklifts Charging Sign is listed in 4 sizes, the smallest being A4 (210 × 297 mm).

Bleed and dpi mean nothing to me. Can I still get printing done?

Yes. You do not need any print knowledge to order the Forklifts Charging Sign. Send us your words and logo with the typesetting option (£15) and we build the layout, then you get a first draft and two rounds of changes. Whatever you choose, a real person looks at the file before printing.

Will the Forklifts Charging Sign cope with steam and splashes in a kitchen or toilet block?

Cafe kitchens, school washrooms and club changing rooms are damp places, so the material matters. Of the options, Dibond is the one to pick: it does not take on moisture, stays flat and wipes down easily. Self-adhesive vinyl also works on tiles or steel if you stick it on while the surface is clean and dry. Clean it with a damp cloth and mild detergent, never bleach or anything abrasive. For this sign, the material can be self-adhesive vinyl, 3mm Dibond aluminium composite or 3mm Foamex. Nothing is printed ahead of time: each sign is made to order for you. On this page, Forklifts Charging Sign starts from £5.02.

The spot gets full sun all afternoon. Could this sign warp in the heat?

Foamex can, Dibond will not. A big, thin Foamex board warms up in direct sun and may bow, especially with fixings only at the corners. Dibond has aluminium faces and keeps its shape, so it is the sensible pick for a long-term outdoor sign. With Foamex, more fixings across a flat wall, or a thicker board, helps it stay straight. For this sign, the material can be self-adhesive vinyl, 3mm Dibond aluminium composite or 3mm Foamex. Sizes for this sign go from A4 (210 × 297 mm) at the small end to A1 (594 × 841 mm), 4 in all. On this page, Forklifts Charging Sign starts from £5.02.

Can I cut this sign down to size, or drill fixing holes, at home?

Yes, with ordinary tools. For Foamex or Correx, a sharp craft knife and a straight metal edge work: a few light passes, then snap or cut through. Dibond has aluminium skins and needs a fine-toothed saw. Drill slowly with a standard bit and stay at least 10 mm from any edge. Any cutting removes some of the bleed, so plan the layout with that in mind. For this sign, the material can be self-adhesive vinyl, 3mm Dibond aluminium composite or 3mm Foamex. Nothing is printed ahead of time: each sign is made to order for you. On this page, Forklifts Charging Sign starts from £5.02.
