Banksman Safety Wand with Fixing Kit

Description

Our latest safety banksman traffic wand with fixing kit allowing the marshalling wand to be retro fitted to PPE.

The pressure activated red/green traffic wand has a two switch operation incorporating a pressure switch similar in concept to a ‘Deadman’ lever, this switches the light from green to red as soon as pressure is released from the button.

With two button operation this unit is powered on and off separately, an advantage over our earlier model that relied on a single button operation and was slower to operate as a consequence.

The advantage of this design is a vehicle marshal is able to continually cycle from red to green simply by holding/releasing pressure on the function button, with a separate power button for turning it on and off.

Comparing it to single button traffic wands, which typically require 6 button depressions before you cycle back around to the red signal again, the banksman wand takes just 2!

Once turned on the wand provides a red solid light, press and hold for a green solid light, release to revert back to red – it means signalling is significantly faster which contributes to traffic marshal safety.

Fool Proof Design

The innovative design makes a very positive contribution to operator safety, operators simply have to release pressure on the button to send out a RED for stop signalling light and apply pressure for a GREEN to go signal.

Simple highly intuitive functionality, which is an advantage for training, operators just have release the button to signal STOP.

If an operator trips or drops the marshalling traffic wand an immediate red light message to ‘STOP’ gets out there to vehicles, plant and equipment.

The top button powers the traffic baton on/off and also operates the White nose cone torch function, multiple functions in the one wand make it highly versatile.

 

Features, Performance & Dimensions

The Knightkit banksman wand uses 18 high output red and green LED’s, it’s compact yet highly visible at distance (500+M) been the brightest wand in our range.

Its translucent casing measures just under 15cm with a handle of 15cm and weighs just 130 grams without batteries.

Subject to light setting and battery quality, you get approximately 8-12 hours of continuous use from quality AAA batteries x 3 (batteries not incl. as standard but are available to purchase click here)

Consider using rechargeable batteries with a spare set of batteries and a separate battery charger so that the wand can always be in action – hot swap the batteries as and when needed so that the wand is always available to use.

A magnetic base allows deployment on metallic surfaces with the magnet being strong enough to support the wand vertically. (Note that this wand is not compatible with the optional tripod stand).

We have found that when a wand is secured on a person via Klickfast fittings it promotes product longevity as its less likely for users to lose, drop or simply sit on them!

Made from durable polycarbonates, the small size and light weight contribute to making the light robust, reduced weight making it less prone to damage if dropped and the narrow circumference adding more rigidity to the overall design.

The traffic control baton is weather resistant and will operate in severe and adverse weather conditions.

This kit comes with two Klickfast fittings, a torch attachment that fits to the handle of the banksman wand and a screw to fit docking system that is screwed through your PPE. The wand can then be stowed or worn as a PPE light with the RED light turned on, with a quick twist action the wand can quickly be brought into action as a hand held traffic baton.

The advantages of this kit is that it will keep your wand stowed securely and is less likely to get dropped, mislaid, or sat on if put in trousers etc…
