Banksman Pressure-Switched Red/Green Traffic Wand — 27cm

Enhanced Signalling Performance

This banksman traffic wand delivers significantly improved signalling speed and safety compared to traditional single-button wands.
Its dual-switch system incorporates a pressure-activated “Deadman”-style safety feature that instantly switches the light
from green to red the moment pressure is released.

This intuitive design ensures faster operation, clearer communication, and improved safety for vehicle marshals and site operators.

Intuitive Two-Button Operation

Unlike older single-button wands that require multiple presses to cycle through modes, this upgraded KnightKit design uses
two dedicated buttons:

• Lower Button (Function Button)
  Powers the wand on with a solid red signal.
  Press and hold to activate solid green.
  Release pressure to instantly return to red.
  Ideal for rapid STOP/GO signalling.
• Upper Button (Power / Torch Button)
  Powers the unit off.
  Activates red-only mode.
  Operates the white nose-cone torch.

This layout allows operators to switch between red and green with one simple press and release, dramatically improving response time
and reducing operational errors.

Why This Design Improves Safety

Single-button traffic wands typically require six button presses to return to a red STOP signal.
The KnightKit banksman wand requires just one press and release.

This means:

• Faster STOP/GO signalling
• Reduced operator fatigue
• Improved reaction time in emergencies
• Safer marshalling in high-risk environments

If the wand is dropped, it automatically displays a red STOP signal, visible to all observers — a major safety advantage.

Optional Klickfast Mounting Kit

The wand’s compact size makes it ideal for attachment to Hi-Vis jackets using Klickfast accessories such as:

Mounted on PPE, the wand becomes a highly effective personal safety light that can be quickly detached for marshalling duties.

Using Klickfast fittings also improves product longevity by reducing accidental drops, loss, or damage.
