In this feature product blog, we’re going to talk about warning whips, which are those flags you see on the back of a work truck, and how to best mount them to your truck. Check out the Quick Disconnect Base Mount Kit from Checkers.
Many job sites, such as Mines, Construction sites and Industrial plants, have had long-standing safety protocols for vehicles to have safety whips to increase their visibility. But, when you are not on the jobsite, some jurisdictions have made it illegal to drive with a warning whip up. So, a lot of people tend to bend it down and fasten it in the bed of the truck. But, this can be cumbersome to do, may damage the lights or the whip, and potentially spring loose and end up getting you pulled over.
So, a far better option is to remove the whip entirely by using this quick disconnect system and store it safely to prevent damage and dents to your vehicle, the whip or your wallet! You can simply attach the male side to your lighted whip and the female side to the mount on your vehicle. Then, it’s just like an air coupler to attach and detach it between uses. This Quick Coupler also comes ready to be wired into your truck's power source, so it is usable on both standard and lighted whips. But what if you don’t have a mount on your vehicle? Well, Checkers has got you covered. You can get a simple mounting bracket or a spring mount and put it anywhere on the truck, or you can grab a hitch mount for a very fast, tool-free installation that you can swap between vehicles. It is simply powered by the 7-way plug on your vehicle. And, if you need a brand-new warning whip or a replacement flag, we can help you out there too.
So, whip it, whip it good with this week’s feature product – the Quick Disconnect Base Mount Kit from Checkers.
