Placarding a tanker or cargo trailer for changing loads means swapping legends fast without the whole assembly falling apart on you. This 8-legend placard set holds eight of the most common hazmat warnings in one heavy-duty frame, so drivers and yard crews can display the correct DOT class without carrying a stack of separate signs. It meets the placarding requirements of 49 CFR Part 172.519, and the split base design lets it mount on roll-up doors where a single-piece frame won't fit.

Key Features

• Split Base Design: Two-piece base installs cleanly on doors that roll up, where a solid frame can't.
• Heavy-Duty Aluminum Back Plate: Resists bending and warping through daily loading and road vibration.
• Stainless Steel Spring Clips: Hold legend panels securely in place during transport.
• Fade-Resistant Finish: White acrylic paint keeps legends highly visible over time.
• Rounded Edges: Easier and safer to handle when swapping panels.
• 8 Legends Included: Corrosive (Class 8), Dangerous, Flammable (Class 3), Flammable Gas (Class 2), Inhalation Hazard (Class 6), Non-Flammable Gas (Class 2), Oxidizer (Class 5.1), and Poison (Class 6).

Applications

Fits fleets and yards that haul more than one hazard class and need to placard correctly for each load:

• Tank trailers and cargo trailers switching between hazmat classes
• Roll-up door trailers and straight trucks
• Yards and terminals that need quick-swap placarding on hand for multiple commodities
• Fleets standardizing placard hardware across a mixed trailer pool

Installation

Mount the split base to the door or panel surface, then slide the correct legend panel into the frame and secure it with the stainless steel spring clips. Swap legends as the load changes; the aluminum back plate and rounded edges make repeat swaps straightforward. Confirm the legend in place matches the current load's hazard class and 49 CFR Part 172.519 placarding requirements before the vehicle moves.
