Signs, Flags & Stands
Feature:
Some protection points do not have a convenient place to clamp a flag. The RH-MBF-SCD-DBL goes wherever there is steel: a strong rare-earth magnetic base attaches it directly to the rail, so a crew member can set it and pull it without tools.
It carries two blue 12 × 12 in STOP Car Dept signs with High Intensity Prismatic (HIP) reflective sheeting, three times brighter than engineering grade. The staff and base are hot-rolled steel with an electroplated zinc coating. Custom signs are available.

Some protection points do not have a convenient place to clamp a flag. The RH-MBF-CW goes wherever there is steel: two strong rare-earth magnets in the base attach it directly to the rail, so a crew member can set it and pull it without tools.
The staff and base are hot-rolled steel with an electroplated zinc coating, and the flag carries a blue 12 × 12 in Stop Crew at Work sign with High Intensity Prismatic (HIP) reflective sheeting, three times brighter than engineering grade. Custom signs are available.
Feature:
Old painted, non-reflective blue flags disappear at night and crack in the cold. The KE-175-2 replaces them with a lightweight, double-sided 14¾ × 10 in blue plastic STOP sign with 100% reflective lettering, mounted on a heavy-gauge powder-coated metal bracket with two 90 lb pull magnets for a firmer hold on the equipment being protected.
The plastic sign will not freeze and crack, and it holds up in windy conditions. Pre-drilled holes make it easy to hang tags or add a light, so the same sign can give 24-hour protection with one of Railhead's LED blue lights.
Feature:
The KE-125-1 is a permanent hinged assembly. It stands where the protection is needed and folds flat to the ground when it is not, on a welded positive-locking latch a crew member can work with a boot without bending down. A rear shock absorber cushions the assembly in the down position. One moving part, no springs.
The 12 × 12 in sign carries 3M High Intensity Prismatic sheeting with a protective overlay that resists fading, cracking, and peeling. Custom signs and other languages available. For 24/7 protection with a light, see the kit versions: KE-125-K (M747 battery light) and KE-125-KS (M900 solar light).
Feature:
Not every location justifies a permanent hinged assembly. Temporary protections, seasonal work, and high-turnover locations need a clamp that costs little enough to deploy widely and is still built to survive a season.
The Econ Clamp is hot-rolled steel with an electroplated zinc coating, standing 4 feet. It carries a 12 × 12 in sign — Stop Men at Work (ECON CLAMP SS) or Stop Crew at Work (ECON CLAMP SCW), in 3M High Intensity Prismatic or plain blue — and custom signs can be ordered.
The 3M HIP sheeting resists the fading, discoloring, cracking, and peeling that turns a reflective sign into a piece of painted metal within two seasons.
