Switch to the Quick-Lock Post System for More Sustainable Temporary Signs

This is our game-changing solution for urban and streetwork schemes, the Quick-Lock Post System. Which benefits the environment as much as it does safety, by increasing road-work sustainability. Because not only does it provide a tidier assembly and more visible signs. And take up a far smaller footprint when compared to metal frames and sandbags. But its 3 parts are also recyclable, which helps hugely towards meeting your ESG responsibilities.

Save & Go Green with Modular, Weight Saving Streetwork Signs

Weight Saving Signs – A Case Study

On a 6-week multi-site installation, a partner was full of praise when giving feedback for a Case-Study. What had impressed them was the weight savings and how that lowered their labour and fuel costs. And how that benefit alone would lower their project’s impact on the environment.

For example: the overall weight saving for 30 signs is about 270kg. This is based on our signs being 9kg less than a typical Metal A Frame. This meant sign deployment for each site could be undertaken from a single vehicle. And that’s before you factor in or systems durability and recyclability.

Wind Loading

Since they are designed to be stackable, multiple bases can be used for a single Quick-Lock Post System. When extreme conditions are expected, we suggest double stacking or using 18kg bases instead. For safety reasons we undertook wind loading tests in accordance with BS8442:2022 Appendix C. This testing is based on the maximum expected winds for urban and rural areas in all but the most severe conditions.

After collating the results, we suggest the ballasts shown below be deployed for the assemblies shown.

“After looking at the new signs, I would like to say how impressed I am with the design and ease of use. They fit well on the highway and I believe will allow for equipment to be moved and carried around the network more easily, thus allowing quicker and safer deployment on site. I am pleased to see that a traffic management company is trying to change the status quo for the better, to benefit drivers and pedestrians using our busy road network.”
