In this post, we’ll explore what makes these wood oversize load signs superior, how they help improve safety and compliance, and why they’re worth the investment.
Craftsmanship You Can Feel
At first glance, Ms. Carita SafeTruck signs stand out because of their solid wood construction. These are not cheap plastic or flimsy signs that warp, crack, or fade over time. SafeTruck starts by selecting premium materials as the base for their wood signs. MDO (Medium Density Overlay) plywood is the preferred choice for all outdoor plywood signs. It is an exterior‑grade plywood with a resin‑impregnated fiber overlay that creates a very smooth, low‑grain face ideal for painting. The overlay is waterproof and weather‑resistant, so the panel holds up well to rain, sun, and temperature changes. The plywood core is exterior grade, giving good strength and screw‑holding for mounting while the face stays smooth and uniform for a professional finish.
Benefits of wood construction:
- Premium Solid Wood Construction: Built from exterior-grade MDO (Medium Density Overlay) plywood
- Designed for Outdoor Durability: The resin-impregnated, waterproof overlay protects against rain, sun, and temperature changes.
- Strong & Easy to Mount: The exterior-grade plywood core provides excellent strength and screw-holding power for secure mounting on trucks and trailers.
Craftsmanship You Can See
SafeTruck takes the painting process seriously when it comes all of their wood signs. Every sign is precision cut to exact measurements from full sheets of plywood. Then, all of the edges of the sign are coated with primer to ensure water can not leak into the edge cuts of the boards. Next, both sides of every sign get multiple coats of primer to protect the wood and ensure the final coats do not fade or appear uneven. Next, the specially formulated yellow enamel paint is applied with two coats to each side of the sign. This enamel is custom made for SafeTruck to ensure the brightest, most long lasting color for every sign. Next, the sign gets its message screen printed on top of each sign by hand. This is to ensure a consistent thick coating of the specialized black enamel on every sign. Finally, a clear coat is applied to the entire sign to lock in the vibrant colors. Each sign takes multiple days to be crafted and cure.
The Process makes the Difference.
- Proper Primary Application: Applying multiple coats and sealing the edges ensures the best finished product.
- Specialized Enamel Paints: High quality paints with an ultra-hard and glossy finish for highly visible colors.
- Clear Coat Protection: Finished with clear coating to for longevity.
Craftsmanship You Can Use
SafeTruck Wood Signs are built without any predrilled holes. This gives the installer the most flexibility when it comes to mounting the signs. If you plan to use the sign on a roof rack of a pilot car, you can drill multiple smaller screws into the sign to hold it in place. The 2-sided signs work great for roof top mounting systems to reduce the number of signs needed. If you want to mount the sign on the back of your trailer, you can drill 4 larger holes and mount the sign with large nuts and bolts. If you need more help with mounting options, reach out to our team at EZ Truck Store. One of our customer service team members would be happy to assist.
