DEPLOYABLE WARNING DEVICE FOR VEHICLE

Abstract:

A vehicle defines a vehicle footprint. The vehicle includes a chassis, a cab coupled to the chassis that accommodates an operator, and a warning system coupled to a portion of the vehicle. The warning system includes a warning device and a deployment mechanism coupled to the warning device. The warning device includes at least one of a light assembly having a plurality of lights, a flag, or a sign. The deployment mechanism is configured to facilitate repositioning the warning device between a stowed position and a deployed position. When in the stowed position, the warning device is completely positioned within or substantially positioned within the vehicle footprint. When in the deployed position, the warning device extends out of the vehicle footprint and is positioned at a height sufficient so as not to impede the operator as the operator moves around the vehicle footprint.
