Safety at a gas station is a key concern when designing a station.
It is very important that safety signs, road signs and indicators are manufactured and installed in accordance with all necessary regulations. An individual design style is developed for each gas station, including all information signs and markings.
To build gas stations, the highest quality materials are used that can withstand any weather conditions. All work is carried out in accordance with the safety requirements applicable at gas stations.
The full range of services includes work on creating inscriptions, signs, information plates, required markings, light stands and gas station lighting. You can also order the product separately if you need to install an additional sign or update it.
In addition, the GASZNAK company offers the production of one-sided or two-sided information stand. Depending on the size of the gas station and the customer’s preferences, the dimensions are agreed upon and the corporate design style of the fuel company is taken into account.
A unique feature of our safety signs is the continuous double flange. This production method makes it possible to abandon the use of an auxiliary metal frame, which in turn reduces the cost and weight of the sign. This also extends the service life of the safety sign by increasing the material’s resistance to corrosion. You can order a product or a set of services on our website in the appropriate section.
– supplier of a wide range of information signs, plates for fuel tankers, gas tankers.
Transportation of dangerous goods using appropriate special equipment is regulated by established international safety standards and regulations. To harmonize this type of activity in different countries, a common set of rules was developed - the European Agreement concerning the International Carriage of Dangerous Goods by Road. Countries that are directly involved in the ADR agreement on the transport of dangerous goods undertake to comply with these rules in the territory of their country and the participating countries.
ADR regulates the requirements for certification, labeling, classification and packaging of dangerous goods. Of key importance is equipping the vehicle (gas tanker, fuel tanker) carrying such cargo with appropriate information signs signaling this fact to other road users.
The AZS Market company offers everything necessary for the external design of a fuel tanker: reflective tape, stickers, “Dangerous Goods” signs, ADR information signs, flashing beacons, fire extinguisher cases, etc.
Dangerous goods plate ADR
To recognize tank trucks carrying liquid motor fuel, propane-butane, special markings are used. Based on the current rules, special equipment transporting dangerous goods is equipped with a “dangerous goods” sign on the front and back, made on an orange background.
The information plate for displaying dangerous goods has dimensions of 0.3m x 0.4m and a black border of 0.015m.
You can buy ADR signs in our online store or by calling the numbers listed in the “Contacts” section.
ADR information hazard signs
Transportation of fuel by tank trucks, tank containers and multi-part gas containers is carried out using a danger sign measuring 0.250m x 0.250m, made in the shape of a rhombus. This sign is placed on the sides of the transported container and on its rear surface. In the case of transportation of dangerous goods by means of a multi-section tank, the required sign is installed on the sections on both sides, and a similar sign is placed on the rear end part.
Additionally, signs informing about the danger to the external environment are used, which are also installed on the sides and back of tanks, and on the ends and sides of containers. Such substances should be considered liquid or solid substances that poison water.
Labeling of goods hazardous to the environment is not applied in cases where the volume of the substance is no more than 5 liters/kilogram.
The AZS Market company offers information signs, fuel tanker hazard signs, gas tanker hazard signs, made of high-quality material and designed in strict accordance with current standards.
