Motorised Oversize Load Ahead Pilot Vehicle Sign Kit

Australia's #1 pilot vehicle sign kit from an official distributor. Best prices guaranteed. Made in Australia by RoadBase, they are 100% compliant to Australian standards. Fully wired up for easy installation to the roof racks or headboard of your pilot or escort vehicle.

Save time, and of course money by purchasing a fully compliant oversize load ahead sign kit. A must for your vehicle if you are involved in the heavy haulage or transport industry. Also commonly used when transporting agricultural machinery such as harvesters.

$99 flat rate shipping Australia-wide per sign kit, up to 3 kits, business addresses only (residential addresses may incur additional delivery charges). Orders of 4 or more sign kits will be charged at a $345 flat rate.

**New Feature!! All kits now include a LED light to illuminate the forward-facing Oversize Load Ahead sign at no additional cost - required for night escorts**

Available in 4 different beacon options:

Premium Range: Super Bright LED Beacons. The brightest LED Beacons we offer. These are approx 3 x brighter, and an increase of approx 500m visual distance compared to a standard 18W beacon. 

Standard Range: Our most common LED Beacons, a stepdown from the Premium Range but still is plenty bright enough!

Economy Range: More affordable option, and suited to the Pilot Vehicle Drivers who occasionally run oversized loads, these are micro beacons - so they are shorter than our standard beacons.

Halogen Range: Suited for those who may not like LED beacons, these are affordable yet still do the job well!
