78" Tall Fixed Base Impact Recovery Sign Post

78" FLEX POST WITH BOLLARD (ASPHALT MOUNTING)

Product Information:

The easy-to-install 78” Tall Impact Recovery Sign Post is manufactured with a reactive spring unit which allows the sign post to withstand bumper hits and return to its original upright position. This feature greatly reduces the potential for vehicle damage as well as sign post damage.

Impact Recovery Sign Posts are comprised of a white powder coated aluminum post that is 2” in diameter with a 39” tall, 4” diameter yellow bollard designed for conspicuity and to absorb vehicle impacts while protecting the inner aluminum post from damage. The overall height of the sign post means that it is ADA compliant when coupled with a 12 x 18” parking sign.

Each kit includes the inner white powder coated post, the yellow plastic bollard, and sign mounting hardware to mount 1 sign. Please note that the ground mounting hardware to secure the base to the ground is sold separately. Customers can purchase either the concrete anchor kit, Y4949, or the asphalt anchor kit, Y4988.
