A bit of maintenance now can save on problems later. There is little information about how much wear or damage is considered acceptable. Does it seem damaged to the point you think it is no longer very effective? If so, a DOT officer might also notice the wear and use the defective reflectors as an excuse to pull you over. Check the reflective tape on the ICC bar for wear from dock lock contact. You may want to specifically look at the tape on the flatbed rub rail to see if it is excessively scratched or scuffed. Look for worn spots and places where the tape is no longer reflecting very much light.
#REFLECTIVE TAPE RED DRIVER#
Put simply, it is up to the driver to check the vehicle for missing, worn and damaged pieces of reflective tape. A light meter is used to check the lumenosity of the reflective DOT tape on the vehicle and verify that it meets the reflective quality requirements. These references discuss the photometric requirements. The retroreflective tape applied to the vehicle must be in conformance with the American Standard for Testing and Materials (ASTM). How do I tell when my reflective truck/conspicuity tape needs to be replaced? The regulations at 393.11 state that the retroreflective material needs to meet the requirements in the Federal Motor Vehicle Safety Standards (FMVSS) number 108. the conspicuity tape works well not just on truck tractors but also vans, forklifts, trailers, agricultural equipment, buses, automobiles etc. The product is durable and will provide years of use. The adhesive is permanent and works on steel, aluminum, fiberglass etc.
#REFLECTIVE TAPE RED FREE#
DOT-C2 tape is produced in red/white reflective format, it has a self-adhesive base that adheres to any truck surface that is clean, dry and free from grease, simply remove the backing paper then apply firm pressure to stick in place. Reflective DOT-C2 conspicuity tape is required for FMCSA regulations. The measurements are made in agreement with ASTM E-810 "Standard test method for coefficient of retro-reflective sheeting" in terms of candlepower per square foot (cd/lux/ft2). The coefficient of retro-reflection for reflective material meets or surpasses the minimum coefficient of retro-reflection required by FMVSS 108. Apply properly to comply with DOT (Department of Transportation) regulations to ensure that large vehicles and trailers are seen properly, most particularly a night.
Conspicuity tape is used for trucks and trailers 80" in width and over 10,000 lbs in weight. It is a non exposed, air cell, micro glass bead retro reflective technology. Glass beads laminated between layers of film form a non-exposed retro-reflective optical system.
