HazMat Placards - DOT Placards and Flip Placards

Steel clips are definitely better than aluminum for a flip placard system. Compared to aluminum, stainless steel clips have a higher strength-to-weight advantage, which means they maintain their strength and have greater load-bearing capabilities while having a thin profile. After a point of time, lighter clips like those made of aluminum lose their snapping power. Also, stainless steel hardware is generally resistant to rusting, corrosion, or pitting, making the placards ideal for rainy and wet locations. Double-riveted stainless steel spring clips are tougher and lock the flip placards into place. Clips are simple to operate and lock down hard. With a strong locking system, your legends stay put and withstand the toughest conditions truckers face like wind, speed, storms, and constant opening and shutting.

If we talk about flip placards, both our Flip-n-Lock™ Placards as well as DigiLock™ Placards feature a drainage channel in the base, unlike the ones commonly found with competitors. Rain and snow run right through the channel. Channel slots propel ice, dirt, grime, and salt away. Since there are two drain holes per side, sludge and ice build-up are hampered. Watch this amazing video to take a virtual tour of these placards.
