KNOW WHY CONSTRUCTION MACHINES ARE PAINTED YELLOW IN COLOUR !!

You might have noticed that most of the construction machines are yellow in colour. We will discuss the reason for this in this article.

Warning signs are frequently yellow, yellow/black striped, or red. And additional to that, yellow is quite a bright and noticeable colour that doesn't usually appear elsewhere in our modern world, so is immediately easily noticed. So, in short yellow is the colour that gets noticed by everyone easily.

On the construction site, man and machine are working side-by-side and close together. For this reason, every construction machine must be as salient and noticeable as possible in order to be visible and to avoid accidents.

Therefore, excavators, cranes, coaters and therelike are painted in the most conspicuous colors, such as yellow, red, orange or another warning color, so that they stand out from the dust, the ground and the other colors on a construction area or roadworks. After all, it would be fatal if a construction worker could not see a construction machine coming.

However, the exact color depends on several factors. First of all, the color of the construction machines often depends on the respective company or the manufacturer of the equipment. For example, some companies are painting their machines as a recognition symbol rather yellow, others red. Partially, however, the colors are also regulated by law.
