Fire Trolley SABS safety sign (FB14)

The Fire Trolley safety sign (FB14) is used to identify the location of a fire trolley containing fire-fighting equipment. It provides clear identification so the trolley can be accessed quickly in an emergency.

This sign supports emergency response by marking mobile fire-fighting equipment storage locations. It is typically used in facilities where equipment is stored in a trolley format rather than fixed wall-mounted positions.

Typical applications

• Warehouses and distribution centres
• Industrial facilities with mobile fire equipment
• Construction and temporary work sites
• Large sites where equipment is staged for rapid deployment

Commonly used with

• Location of Fire-Fighting Equipment – Red Arrow – SABS safety sign (FB1)
• Fire Extinguisher SABS safety sign (FB2)
• Fire Hose Reel SABS safety sign (FB3)
• Fire Hydrant SABS safety sign (FB4)

Selection and placement guidance

Install this sign at the point where decisions are made, and ensure it remains visible from normal approach routes. For guidance on selecting compliant fire-fighting safety signage and understanding correct placement, refer to our Fire Fighting Safety Signs explainer.

Visibility and material options

This sign is available in standard safety sign materials suitable for indoor and outdoor use, depending on the selected variant. Where emergency wayfinding is required during power failure or reduced lighting, photoluminescent options may be more appropriate.

Compliance

In South Africa, safety sign designs follow South African National Standards (SANS), including SANS 1186-1:2022, which governs the design, colours, shapes, symbols, and application of safety signs and safety markings. These standards are administered through the South African Bureau of Standards (SABS) to promote consistent recognition across workplaces and public environments.

SANS 1186-1:2022 aligns closely with internationally recognised standards, including ISO 7010 and ISO 3864-3, ensuring familiarity and clear understanding across different industries and regions.
