What mirror diameter do I need?

It follows viewing distance: 60 cm for short-range aisles and doorways, 80 cm for car park ramps and mid-range crossings, 100 cm for wide yards and long-distance junctions. The greater the distance, the larger the diameter.

Where should the mirror be mounted?

At an angle that shows the crossing the driver cannot see, and at a height where the reflection is not blocked. A mounting post is used where there is no suitable wall; outdoors, consider sun direction and rain or snow build-up.

What is an under-vehicle inspection mirror for?

It is used at facility and residential gates to check the underside of a vehicle quickly. Handled 30 cm models let the operator inspect without bending, shortening the check.

Mirrors

Convex safety mirrors are listed in 60, 80 and 100 cm, together with 30 cm under-vehicle inspection mirrors, including a handled version, and a post for mounting mirrors.

Choosing Diameter and Position

Mirror diameter scales with viewing distance: 60 cm suits short distances such as narrow aisles, warehouse crossings and doorways; 80 cm suits car park ramps and mid-range crossings; 100 cm suits wide yards, facility junctions and long sight lines.

The mirror has to be angled to show the crossing the driver cannot see, and mounted at a height where nothing blocks the reflection. Outdoors, sun direction and the build-up of rain or snow also affect where it should go.

100 cm — wide yards and long sight lines

Under-Vehicle Inspection Mirrors

The 30 cm under-vehicle inspection mirrors are used at facility and residential gates to check beneath a vehicle. Handled models let the check be done without bending, which speeds up the routine.

At security points a mirror works only when planned with lighting; in low light a mirror alone gives a poor image. Mirror and barrier layout should be planned together so the check does not stall the traffic flow.
