W|ECO Vertical-Mast Arrow Boards feature a display panel that remains vertical at all times and rotates to face traffic. They are highly reliable, visible from distances of a mile or more, and employ a unique high-efficiency power system. The display is raised and lowered on a vertical tower using a hand-operated winch. Both 15-light and 25-light models are available. Connected arrow boards can be accessed remotely using Wanco Fleet Manager.
Vertical-mast
The vertical arrow board display is attached to a vertical tower that allows the display to be rotated for orienting toward traffic without moving the trailer. For simple deployment, a heavy-duty winch with safety brake allows one person to raise the arrow board. When the tower is lowered for transport or storage, the display panel rests in a cradle that keeps it secure. Constructed of rigid, tubular steel, all joints are welded. Bolt-on fenders can be replaced if damaged.
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.
