Convex Mirrors Melbourne
Convex mirrors give drivers, forklift operators and pedestrians a view around corners and blind spots where there is no natural line of sight. Calx Group supplies convex safety mirrors in Melbourne for car park ramps and aisle intersections, warehouse and factory corners, loading docks, driveways with restricted vision, and retail and public spaces that need better visibility.
Where convex mirrors are used
- Blind corners in multi level car parks, particularly at ramp entries and exits
- Forklift and pedestrian crossovers in warehouses and distribution centres
- Loading docks and roller door exits where the driver cannot see the apron
- Narrow driveways and laneways with restricted sight distance
- Retail aisles, service counters and back of house areas
Indoor and outdoor mirrors
Indoor mirrors are lighter and suit warehouse aisles, corridors and retail. Outdoor mirrors use a weather rated housing with a hood or visor to shed rain and cut glare, and a corrosion resistant bracket so the mount lasts. Round mirrors give the widest general view, while half dome and quarter dome units are used at tight intersections. Mirrors mount to a wall, a column or a post, and we can supply a galvanised post where there is no structure to fix to.
Sight lines are only part of the answer
A mirror shows the hazard, but it does not stop the vehicle. At the same corners we usually supply impact protection in the form of surface mount bollards or core drilled in-ground bollards, plus rubber corner guards on columns and racking legs and downpipe protectors on stormwater pipes. Speed on the approach is managed with rubber and steel speed humps, and bays are held with car park wheel stops. The full range sits under car park and warehouse safety products.
Frequently asked questions
What size mirror do I need? As a general rule the further back the viewer sits, the larger the mirror. Tell us the viewing distance and the corner geometry and we will nominate a diameter.
Can convex mirrors be used outdoors? Yes, provided you use an outdoor rated mirror with a hood and a corrosion resistant bracket. Indoor mirrors will haze and fail in the weather.
Do you supply mounting hardware? Mirrors are supplied with an adjustable bracket, and we can supply a post or anchors from our fixings range if you need them.
How do I order? Convex mirrors are quoted to suit the site. Call 1300 846 039 or send your locations and viewing distances through our enquiry form and we will price the mirrors with any bollards or guards you need at the same corners.
