W|ECO Skid-Mounted Arrow Boards – Pivoting Skids
WSSP
W|ECO® Skid-Mounted Arrow Boards are the most power-efficient in the industry. They feature low power consumption, a self-contained power supply, and a control module with a 30-foot cable for mounting inside a truck cab or elsewhere. Our skid-mounted arrow boards can be affixed to a truck bed or any rigid footing. The pivoting skid models employ a heavy-duty hand crank to raise the arrow board from horizontal (travel position) to vertical (display position). Standard height and low-profile pivoting skids are available.
Details
The W|ECO technology consumes less power and uses smaller batteries, resulting in greatly reduced lead content — 80% less when compared to traditional arrow boards. Additionally, W|ECO batteries are fully sealed and will not leak or spill, which is better for the environment. And because they require no maintenance, W|ECO batteries have a longer useful lifespan.
With a decrease in power consumption, these batteries take less time to charge — 4 to 5 hours instead of 24 — which not only saves energy but results in less downtime.
The total weight of the battery bank has been reduced 210 pounds. As a result, hauling a W|ECO skid-mounted arrow board saves fuel.
During the manufacturing process, powder coating emits near-zero volatile organic compounds (VOCs) , and nearly all over-spray is reclaimed and reused. Finally, nearly every component can be recycled.
More than just eco-friendly, Wanco arrow boards are designed to meet and exceed the highest standards of quality and performance in the industry.
