These crane directional decals are made from tough, industrial-grade vinyl with a high-tack adhesive. They're resistant to oil, grease, and UV damage, ensuring they stay put and remain legible even in demanding shop environments. Easy to install and available in various sizes to fit your specific crane controls. Keep your shop safe and efficient with clearly marked crane directions.

Side Mounted Overhead Crane Directional Decal Printed With West, North, East, and South Arrows. 

Mount this directional crane decal on the side of the crane instead of the bottom of the bridge.

Check the west north east south arrow configuration and make sure it matches your application when installed.

These directional decals should be applied to the flat, clean underside of overhead crane bridges, runway structures, or shop ceilings. Alternatively, they can be mounted directly on the side of the crane structure. It is critical to ensure that the N, S, E, and W cardinal markings are oriented to match the exact directional layout of the operator's pendant control or radio remote.

The four-way intersecting arrow graphic marks both bridge and trolley travel directions by representing the cardinal directions of North, South, East, and West. This provides a unified overhead reference point for all horizontal movements of the crane. It allows operators to coordinate both axes of travel relative to their physical control interface.

This directional decal is compatible with overhead cranes, bridge cranes, and gantry cranes. It can be utilized on any of these systems where operators require a clear overhead visual reference to coordinate travel directions. The decal is designed to work seamlessly with pendant controls or radio remotes.

Yes, the directional decal can be used on a bridge crane. It is designed to be mounted on the underside of the crane bridge, runway structures, or nearby shop ceilings. This provides a clear, highly visible compass reference for the operator during bridge crane maneuvers.

The letters N, S, E, and W indicate the cardinal directions of North, South, East, and West. These markings provide a clear compass reference that matches the directional layout of the operator's pendant control or radio remote. Having these clear reference points eliminates confusion during crane travel operations.

Crane directional decals help prevent accidents by reducing operator error and eliminating confusion during crane movements. Clear, intuitive markings ensure that operators do not freeze up or drive the crane in the wrong direction, which could otherwise damage equipment or injure personnel. They provide an immediate visual confirmation of which direction the crane will travel when a control button is pressed.

This directional decal communicates the physical layout of the North, South, East, and West travel directions relative to the facility. The central four-way intersecting arrow graphic visually links these cardinal directions, helping operators understand exactly which path the crane will take. It provides a constant overhead reference point that corresponds directly with their pendant or radio controls.

No, installing directional decals does not replace the need for comprehensive operator safety training. These decals serve as a secondary visual aid to assist qualified operators and prevent directional confusion during movement. All operators must still undergo complete safety and operational training before handling overhead lifting equipment.

These directional stickers are meant to be used by crane operators, riggers, and floor personnel who direct or control crane movements. They are especially helpful for new operators or temporary staff who may be unfamiliar with the shop's layout. By providing a clear visual reference, they help anyone operating the pendant or radio remote maneuver the crane confidently.

These directional compass stickers should be installed immediately upon commissioning a crane, when updating control pendants, or when existing markings become worn and illegible. They must be mounted on a flat, clean surface on the underside of crane bridges, runway structures, or shop ceilings. Installation must align perfectly with the actual directional layout of the operator's remote controls.
