🔴 The 4 types of safety display installation

1️⃣ 1. Wall-mounted installation (most common)

Wall mounting involves fixing the display directly to a vertical surface, such as a concrete, metal, or plaster wall. It’s ideal for high-traffic indoor areas (reception, workshops, offices).

Advantages
✅ Easy to install with suitable screws and anchors
✅ Weatherproof protection
✅ Good readability

📍 Tip: Add an explanatory sign next to the display to reinforce the safety message.

2️⃣ 2. Pole or mast installation (for outdoor use)

When no wall is available, the display can be mounted on a metal pole or galvanized steel mast. Recommended for parking lots, industrial zones, and site entrances.

Advantages
✅ Maximum visibility, even at a distance
✅ Weather-resistant materials
✅ Customizable installation height

📍 Tip: Position the display facing traffic flow to catch the attention of pedestrians and drivers.

3️⃣ 3. Suspended installation (for better visibility)

In some environments, it’s preferable to hang the display from an existing structure, such as a metal frame or beam. Effective in factories, warehouses, and production workshops.

Advantages
✅ Excellent visibility in large spaces
✅ Saves floor and wall space
✅ Secure installation out of reach

4️⃣ 4. Recessed installation (discreet and integrated)

Recessing involves embedding the display into a wall or control panel. Often chosen for aesthetics or to protect the display from impacts.

Advantages
✅ Sleek, modern design
✅ Secure against damage
✅ Seamless integration into the environment

🎯 How to choose the right installation for your display?

Before installing, ask:

✔️ Environment: Indoor or outdoor?

✔️ Mounting: Is there a wall, pole, or does it require a custom structure?
