W|ECO Solar Arrow Boards
WTSP
The new generation of W|ECO® arrowboards is even more power-efficient. Innovative engineering employs a unique power system that uses small, eco-friendly batteries. The result is a remarkable technology that benefits the environment without sacrificing performance. W|ECO Arrowboards set the highest standards of quality and performance in the industry.
Details
Maintenance-free
W|ECO batteries never need maintenance. Never. Consequently, W|ECO batteries have a longer useful lifespan, also saving costs associated with replacement.
Functionally friendly
For simple deployment, a heavy-duty winch with safety brake allows one person to raise the arrow board, and a single locking device holds the board in place. Constructed of rigid, tubular steel, all joints are welded. Bolt-on fenders can be replaced if damaged. In the travel position, Wanco’s unique design fully supports the board without rear braces. As a result, it never strikes another surface during transport. This innovation virtually eliminates the damage that other arrow boards endure.
Eco-friendly
W|ECO arrow boards use Wanco’s LED lamps. 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.
W|ECO arrow boards meet and exceed the highest standards of quality and performance in the industry.
