Pinch Point Stickers, Directional Labels & Crush Hazard Decals

Shop pinch point safety stickers and crush hazard decals for applicable crane and machinery locations. Compare directional warnings, separate-arrow designs, bilingual labels and related moving-part warnings.

Choose the complete printed message and layout that match the equipment and intended reader. A pinch-point warning, swing-area message and rotating-driveline warning address different hazards.

Directional Pinch-Point Stickers

Available designs include left-arrow and right-arrow messages, versions with a safety-alert symbol and products supplied with a separate or detachable arrow.

Check the individual artwork before ordering. Some arrows are printed as part of the warning, while others are separate adhesive pieces positioned during installation. Do not assume every design has the same arrow arrangement.

Crush and Keep-Clear Messages

Other labels communicate crush hazards, staying clear during operation or restrictions on entering a work area. Compare the exact wording, pictograms, dimensions and header style.

Choose a warning that describes the actual hazard. Similar colors or symbols do not make different messages interchangeable.

Bilingual and Equipment-Specific Options

The bilingual pinch-point design includes English and Spanish wording. Check the selected listing rather than assuming every product in this collection carries both languages.

Related designs address crane swing areas, riding on the machine, rotating drivelines and moving or rotating parts. Confirm the intended equipment application before choosing a replacement.

Selecting and Placing Labels

Use manufacturer-designated labeling locations where available. Position warnings on suitable fixed surfaces where the intended reader can see them before reaching or entering the relevant hazard area.

Keep controls, viewing areas, identification plates and other required markings unobstructed. A label should not require someone to approach moving parts to read it.

Check each product page for dimensions, materials, quantity and application instructions. Do not assume every design uses the same adhesive or surface-preparation method.

Warning stickers communicate hazards and restrictions. They do not provide guarding, stop movement or replace safe operating and maintenance procedures.

Frequently Asked Questions

: Under OSHA 1910.145 and the integrated ANSI Z535.4 standards, a pinch point label indicating a hazardous situation that could result in serious injury must utilize a safety orange header with the signal word "WARNING" in black capital letters. If the hazard will result in death or catastrophic, irreversible injury, a safety red header with the signal word "DANGER" is legally required.

: Standard commercial vinyl lacks the polymer stabilizers required to withstand direct UV radiation and environmental thermal cycling. Under high UV exposure, the chemical bonds in the vinyl degrade, causing shrinking, cracking, and ink fading. Once a warning becomes illegible, it violates OSHA 1910.145(a)(2), which commands that all safety markings must be fully legible during active operations.

: Pinch point stickers must be affixed directly adjacent to any mechanical interface where relative motion can entrap, shear, or crush personnel. Mandatory placement zones include: outrigger scissor joints, boom hinge pins, cylinder mount points, sheave guards, and any accessible engine compartment pulleys or belt drives. All labels must be positioned outside the zone of physical contact but within the direct line of sight of an operator or service technician.
