Description
AFAD – Automatic Flagger Assistance Device – Flagger Mac
The Ver-Mac Flagger-Mac is a trailer-mounted gate device designed for flagging operations. The Flagger-Mac system consists of two gate devices that are operated using a wireless remote controller. This technology allows the operator to fully control both devices from a safe location outside the work zone.
Our Flagger-Mac also has innovative break-away arm mechanism in case of impact, offering an additional layer of protection for your equipment and your workers.
Each Flagger-Mac unit is equipped with two 12-inch lamps, (1) red and (1) yellow, one gate with a flag, a V-Touch Controller with wireless remote, and stealth technology.
STEALTH TECHNOLOGY
Ver-mac’s innovative stealth technology design will significantly help reduce your message board battery maintenance and repair costs.
Ver-Mac’s Stealth Technology was designed to eliminate two of the industry’s biggest issues: battery maintenance and battery theft.
Ver-Mac’s Stealth Technology utilizes sealed maintenance-free batteries stored in a cleverly hidden battery compartment. The sealed batteries prevents the equipment from shutting down due to lack of battery maintenance – filling batteries with water. The hidden storage compartment deters thieves from stealing batteries. Both features ensure continuous performance of the equipment and reduces maintenance, repair and labor costs.
V-TOUCH CONTROLLER
The flagger-mac comes with our intuitive, industry-leading v-touch controller
- Large 7 in. (178 mm) LCD color graphic touch screen
- Intuitive point-and-go icons
- Large icons to raise and lower the gate
- Real-time display of battery / solar voltage, gate/yellow light timing

Reflective Sheeting Types
DG Highest Visibility (Fluorescent)
The highest level of reflectivity. Up to 10X brighter than Engineer-Grade Prismatic. Offers great visibility and reflectivity from distances and wide angles, both day at night.
Meets or Exceeds ASTM D 4956, Type IX or Type XI
Related Terms:
HIP High-Intensity Prismatic
3X brighter than Engineer-Grade Prismatic. Effective for daytime, nighttime and artificial light conditions. Provides durability and long-term reflectivity.
Meets ASTM D 4956, Type III, Type IV.
Related Terms:
ENG Engineer Grade
Economical prismatic sheeting provides better day and nighttime brightness and is recommended for commercial sign applications as well as non-critical traffic control signs, regulated by the MUTCD.
Meets ASTM D 4956 Type I

Substrate Material Types
Aluminum Blanks
Aluminum sheeting meets or exceeds ASTM 5052-H38 specifications and is .081" thick. Traffic signs use this specification to meet Transportation Standards, unless otherwise stated for non-critical traffic signage or commercial applications. All aluminum blanks come with pre-drilled holes for mounting, and rounded corners.
Meets or Exceeds ASTM 5052-H38, 0.081" Thickness
Crezone (HDO) Wood
Crezone HDO (High Density Overlaid) board is extremely durable exterior type plywood with a weather-resistant resin overlay bonded to the wood by heat and pressure. This process fuses the molecules of the overlay with the fibres of the wood to form a bond as strong as the wood itself. In many instances, overlaid HDO plywood has proven a more durable sign material than metal. HDO plywood is resistant to the elements with no danger of rust or corrosion. It is typically used for larger signs, or uncommon sizes made-to-order.
Meets Transportation Material Standards
