Flexible, Heavy Duty and Built for Almost Any Safety Flag Application
Sometimes the simplest products are the ones that prove the most versatile.
Our original Spring Coil Safety Whip is one of the most popular products in the Safety Flags range and has become a familiar visibility solution for vehicles and machinery across a wide variety of applications.
Recognisable by its distinctive flexible steel spring coil construction and high visibility flag, this world famous style of safety whip has a straightforward purpose: helping vehicles and equipment stand out.
Why use a spring coil safety whip?
Vehicles operating on construction sites, quarries, farms and other working environments can sometimes be difficult to see.
Uneven ground, other vehicles, machinery and site equipment can obscure part or all of a vehicle from view.
A safety whip raises a brightly coloured flag well above the vehicle, providing an additional visual reference that can be seen from a greater distance.
Our 5 ft Spring Coil Safety Whip combines this simple principle with a flexible, heavy duty construction designed for demanding applications.
Flexible by design
One of the defining features of our Spring Coil Whip is the flexible tapered steel construction.
Unlike a completely rigid pole, the spring coil design allows the whip to flex and move when the vehicle is travelling or working over uneven terrain.
This flexibility makes it particularly suited to vehicles operating in demanding working environments where vibration, movement and changing terrain are part of everyday use.
The result is a robust safety whip that combines strength with the flexibility needed for practical vehicle applications.
One whip. Multiple mounting options.
Versatility is another reason the Spring Coil Whip has remained such a popular choice.
The base uses the widely adopted 3/8 inch thread, making it compatible with our extensive range of 3/8 inch mounting solutions.
This means the same safety whip can be used with magnetic mounts, fixed brackets, spring mounts, quick disconnect systems and other compatible mounting hardware.
Rather than restricting the flag to one particular type of installation, the 3/8 inch fitting allows the mounting solution to be selected according to the vehicle and application.
It is a simple feature, but an important one.
Available in three high visibility colours
Our Spring Coil Safety Whips are available with three flag colour options:
Orange
Our classic and most popular choice, providing excellent visibility across a wide range of applications.
Red
A strong alternative where a red warning flag is preferred or required for a particular site or application.
Yellow
A highly visible option that stands out particularly well against darker backgrounds, vehicles and machinery.
Each uses a triangular high visibility flag measuring approximately 34 cm × 22 cm.
From construction sites to off road vehicles
There is no single application for a Spring Coil Safety Whip.
Its flexible construction and universal 3/8 inch fitting make it suitable for an extensive range of vehicles and environments.
Spring Coil Safety Whips can be used on construction vehicles, quarry vehicles, agricultural machinery, forestry equipment, trucks, lorries, vans, cars, 4x4s and other off road vehicles.
They can also be used wherever there is a need to raise a visible marker above a vehicle, machine or piece of equipment.
That versatility is one of the reasons the design has remained so popular.
Add a magnetic mount for a complete solution
For vehicles where a permanent installation is not required, the Spring Coil Safety Whip can be combined with one of our magnetic mounting systems.
Our popular 5 ft Spring Whip and Magnetic Mount Kit combines the safety whip with a 6 inch magnetic base, providing a straightforward way to install and remove the flag when required.
For other applications, the 3/8 inch fitting provides the flexibility to choose a different mounting system.
A simple idea that continues to work
Safety equipment does not always need to be complicated.
The Spring Coil Safety Whip combines a highly visible flag, flexible heavy duty steel whip and versatile 3/8 inch mounting system in a design that can be adapted to a huge range of vehicles and applications.
It is simple.
It is robust.
And after years of use across countless applications, it remains one of our most popular safety flag solutions.
