How do you choose the right vehicle warning markings for your vehicles?

The fitting of special vehicles or even emergency vehicles with vehicle warning markings is mandatory in Germany and strictly regulated. Anyone who works for the fire brigade, emergency services or other aid organisations knows the importance of these conspicuous markings.

However, there are now simpler options for selection than there were a few years ago, so you can choose suitable warning markings for your vehicles as sets. Here is a brief overview of how you can go about selecting the right markings for your fleet.

What do you need to consider when choosing warning marking sets for your vehicles?

Left- and right-facing warning markings in the typical colours red and white or red and yellow can be found on many different vehicles. Depending on the type, cars, large emergency vehicles, vans and more must be covered with the special reflective film.

The area to be covered is precisely defined in accordance with DIN 30710 and requires four so-called standard areas on the front and rear of the left and right sides of the vehicle in question. One of these standard areas measures 141 × 141 mm. To apply the surfaces to the vehicle, you can either opt for the classic method of vehicle warning markings from a roll and contour markings or for so-called warning marking sets in design30710.

In the first case, you must cut out all the surfaces correctly and then carefully stick them onto the relevant areas of the vehicle. This requires a fair amount of practice and skill. Warning marking sets are a smart alternative and we will explain how you can easily select and order them.

How to choose the right vehicle warning marking

At warnmarkierung-online.de, simply use the configurator to find the warning marking set that is exactly right for your vehicle. These sets consist of around 10 parts and are pre-made so that all you have to do is stick them on the car according to the instructions.

First, select the vehicle class:

  • Car
  • Van
  • Lorry
  • Municipal vehicles (construction machinery, Hako/Multicar)

Then simply select the manufacturer, model and year of manufacture to see exactly how many parts the set contains for your vehicle.

The practical advantages of our warning marking sets for vehicles

The warning marking sets are supplied as a complete package. This means that you receive all parts including installation instructions. The simple selection and time saved during application are two huge advantages. This is because all parts are not only correctly cut to size, but also slightly curved, which not only makes application easier, but also increases the service life of the warning markings. Even novices can easily learn how to do it and repeat the process with ease.

Stocking up and inexpensive replacement

The advantages of vehicle warning marking sets over rolls are even more diverse. On the one hand, it is a question of availability and quick replacement, because we recommend that you stock up on several warning marking sets. If a part is damaged due to weather conditions or during use, you can replace it immediately! This is because it is mandatory for emergency vehicles to only be allowed on the road with intact warning markings.

On the other hand, you save money compared to manually cut and applied films. These must be completely replaced if damaged. This not only costs money, but also time and nerves. With our warning marking sets, you only need to reorder the affected individual parts, which we will deliver to you quickly. This means you only have to replace these individual parts and do not have to pay for a complete set. Selecting and installing the right vehicle warning markings for your cars, vans and emergency vehicles is therefore quick and easy.
