Warning Flags

Warning flags for tail gates and truck lift gates – Visibility that ensures safety

Warning flags increase the visibility of tail gates and truck lift gates during everyday use. They clearly mark the edges of the platforms, reducing the risk of accidents during maneuvering, loading, or unloading. Especially in transport and logistics operations, warning flags play a crucial role in protecting personnel, vehicles, and surroundings – whether in daylight, twilight, or poor weather conditions.

Purpose and function – Safety through clear visual signals

Warning flags mark the outer edges of tail gates or lift gates so they can be immediately seen, even in limited visibility. They serve as visual warning indicators in confined spaces or darkness. With their bright colors and optionally reflective surfaces, they enhance safety both in traffic and on company premises.

In addition to standard models that can be easily replaced, there are also flags with integrated twist locks or additional fastenings. These secure the flag not only at the top but also at the bottom, keeping it stable and visible even in strong wind or while driving. This prevents fluttering, protects the material, and ensures a consistently clear warning signal.

Materials and designs – Durable, visible, and precisely fitted

Modern warning flags are made of tear-resistant, UV-stable fabrics that withstand wind, rain, and sun for long periods. Reflective elements further enhance visibility at night. Different sizes and color options (commonly red, orange, or yellow) allow precise adaptation to various tail gate models. Compatibility with manufacturers such as BÄR Cargolift, ZEPRO, DHOLLANDIA, ANTEO, or SÖRENSEN ensures easy integration into existing systems. Many models are universally compatible and can be retrofitted effortlessly – ideal for fleet vehicles and workshops.

Maintenance and replacement – Ensuring lasting visibility

To maintain their warning effect, flags should be cleaned regularly and checked for damage. Faded or torn fabrics lose their effectiveness and should be replaced promptly – ideally during routine safety inspections of your tail gate or lift gate. Thanks to simple mounting systems, new flags can be quickly installed – a small effort that significantly contributes to workplace safety.

Quality and compatibility – Original parts for maximum safety

High-quality warning flags meet all legal requirements regarding color, reflectivity, and material strength. Original and OEM flags provide optimal fit and durability for both tail gates and lift gates. At SULEJ Ladebordwand, you’ll find certified safety flags and spare parts designed for maximum reliability in everyday use.

Tips for selection and use – What to look out for

When selecting warning flags, factors beyond color matter. The key aspects are high-quality, weather-resistant materials, standard-compliant signal colors, and a robust attachment system that remains secure under wind and vibration. Look for UV-resistant fabrics that maintain their brightness over time and reflective elements that ensure maximum visibility at night.

When in use, warning flags should be mounted so that they clearly mark the outer platform edges and remain secure during operation. Regular visual inspections and simple cleaning ensure lasting visibility. Only intact safety flags provide full protection – ensuring the safe operation of your tail gate or truck lift gate during daily use.
