Channel, posts & clips
channel, post & clips (horizontal)

Other fixings:

Sign-fix channel is riveted to the rear of the sign plate.
76mm clips then secure the sign to the 76mm post, as shown below right.

 

Further information:

On all permanent signs the rivets sit flush with the sign blank before the sign is faced. This is so nothing pierces or protrudes through the facing.

With temporary traffic signs the rivets protrude through the sign face.

The location/amount of channel and the number/size of posts used on any given traffic sign is safety-critical and is thus wholly governed by DfT legislation.
Butting clamps are to be used on all signs which have horizontal joins, on larger signs we tend to use multiples of 600mm high panels.
For more information on posts please contact us.

Vertical channel:
channel, post & clips (vertical)

Channel is usually fitted horizontally to the sign to accomodate the commonly used vertical posts.
In cases where your post is running horizontally, as in car park barriers, gates or fences, we can fix vertical channel.

Please specify 'vertical channel' when you order, else horizontal will be fixed by default.
