POZ-LOC Slip Base System Products

The POZ-LOC Slipbase sign support system is designed to allow sign posts to break away, improving safety economically. A break away system is designed to release on impact to reduce the possibility of occupant injury. With our POZ-LOC Slip Base system we have worked to design an easy to install system where in the event of an impact most parts are reused and the subsequent re-installation is very low cost in terms of both materials and labor.

Components of the POZ-LOC Slipbase System

Ground Stub - installed in concrete as the base for the installation, this is a heavy duty fabrication designed to allow a simple re-installation of the post following any impact.
Retainer Plate - A galvanized plate to allow the release of the upper casting and post in the event of an impact.
Set Screw Casting - Designed for simple installation of the post, this casting is bolted to the ground stub, with bolts held in place by the retainer plate. Our set screw design allows both the set screws tightened to the post plus a special set screw designed to positively lock into a field drilled hole in the post. This combination of set screws allows simple installation and the positive lock to prevent movement of the post in any wind condition or sign location.
POZ-LOC Sign Post - Available from inventory in multiple lengths, there are also several options in terms of wall thickness. The type of sign you are going to use and the specifics of the location dictate which type of post is best suited for your application. Our expert sales staff will be glad to help you in selecting the correct product. Available options include:
The POZ-LOC Slipbase System is NCHRP Report 350 compliant and meets or exceeds AASHTO requirements. It is FHWA approved.
