Rigid Frame Arrow Board Skids
WS1SB8
W|ECO Rigid Frame Arrow Board Skids are full-size arrow boards on a fixed-position frame. Skids are designed for installation on a truck bed, trailer or any rigid footing. All Wanco Skid-Mounted Arrow Boards are self-powered, requiring no wiring to an external power supply — and they feature the lowest power consumption in the industry without sacrificing performance. The control panel may be installed inside the truck cab or outside on the skid frame. Arrows and other display patterns are selected by the user.
Eco-friendly
W|ECO arrow boards use Wanco’s high-efficiency LED lights and sealed batteries. Exclusive to Wanco, each LED consumes 85% less power than those used on traditional arrow boards. As a result, W|ECO arrow boards use fewer, smaller batteries than traditional arrow boards.
Smaller and fewer batteries results in greatly reduced lead content — 80% less, when compared to traditional arrow board batteries. Additionally, W|ECO batteries are fully sealed and will not leak or spill. Because they require no maintenance, W|ECO batteries last longer with fewer replacements.
During the manufacturing process, Wanco products are powder coated, not painted. Powder coating emits near-zero volatile organic compounds (VOCs), and nearly all over-spray is reclaimed and reused.
Finally, when a W|ECO arrow board reaches the end of its useful life — usually because of a collision (we have never seen one wear out) — nearly every component can be recycled.
Wanco Arrow Boards set the highest standards of quality and performance in the industry.
