Custom On-Vehicle Hi-Rail Annual Inspection Decals
The Custom On-Vehicle Hi-Rail Annual Inspection Decal (SKU: CUST-AHR) is a 2-inch tall by 5 3/4-inch wide on-vehicle record featuring a pre-printed "Performed By" legend to document safety evaluations directly on dual-mode utility machinery. This bright yellow decal includes physical punch-out fields for months and years, allowing fleet managers, supervisors, and safety officers to verify an asset's safety status at a glance.
Custom Decal Ordering Instructions
To customize your decals with your business details, follow these steps during the checkout process to ensure we receive the correct layout information:
-
Provide your business details: First, in the "notes" section of your cart, type the Name or Company Name, Address, and Phone Number you want printed in the custom layout area.
-
Request a proof (Optional): Then, if you want to review the layout before we print, add "text proof" or "email proof" along with your mobile number or email address in those same checkout notes. This allows us to send you a digital proof to verify accuracy before production begins. We highly recommend text proofs for faster approval and processing.
Once we receive your order details, our team will design, format, and print your custom stickers.
On-Vehicle Records for Rail-to-Road Compliance
The CUST-AHR yellow annual decal functions strictly as an inspection record to log and display completed maintenance dates, rather than operating as a capacity or data plate. Designed with a high-contrast yellow background, this layout ensures that safety status remains easily readable on active jobsites and during transit. Hi-rail (short for highway-rail) equipment refers to dual-mode vehicles that operate on both standard highway roads and railroad tracks. This decal features dedicated printed fields for "Performed By" alongside placeholders for your company name, address, city, state, zip code, and phone number, allowing operators to maintain clear, legible fleet contact records directly on the machinery.
To streamline tracking across multi-year cycles, the sticker incorporates physical punch-out boxes covering months 1 through 12, paired with a multi-year selection grid designed to cover the current year and the next three years. This layout allows inspectors to identify the exact month and year of the last evaluation with a single glance. By utilizing mechanical punches instead of handwritten ink, fleet managers can prevent the fading and illegibility common in harsh outdoor environments. The visual face cites compliance with 49 CFR (Code of Federal Regulations) Part 214—the Federal Railroad Administration (FRA) safety regulations that govern railroad workplace safety and track-riding machinery—providing an explicit reference to industry safety standards directly on the vehicle body.
Secure Application and Record Placement
To apply this inspection decal properly to your highway-rail (hi-rail) trucks, follow this step-by-step installation process:
- First, select a dry, debris-free location on the vehicle's exterior panel or near the mechanical engagement assembly.
- Next, clean the target surface thoroughly to remove grease, road grime, and oil residue before applying the sticker.
- Then, apply the decal firmly, ensuring the adhesive backing forms a secure, lasting bond. This ensures the decal remains protected from premature peeling or failure during transitions between track and highway.
Because these markers function as the primary on-vehicle record of annual safety compliance, selecting a standardized, prominent placement area is critical for streamlined fleet audits. Placing the decal near the operator's cab entry or the primary control station helps rail inspectors and safety supervisors locate the required dates quickly, minimizing operational downtime during routine dual-mode machinery checks.
