Safety Base is a device that can ultimately save lives. The Safety Base system uses frangible couplers to attach a pole to a base. These couplers are strong enough to withstand external bending and torque caused by static forces and wind loads. However, they are designed to instantly break from the impact of a moving vehicle, without causing harm to its occupants.

Because of this unique design, you can help eliminate fatalities and minimize damage to public and private property. The damage avoided is common in vehicular collisions with free standing, conventionally-mounted, street lights, traffic signal poles and pedestrian corridor poles.

 

With installations throughout North America, Safety Base has a strong track record for saving municipalities time and money. The design allows for extremely economical installation and retrofit costs. Safety Base protects the anchor bolts. Saving you time and money after a pole has been struck. As well, imporved air circulation inside steel poles results in reduced corrosion. As a further bonus, you gain the ability to reuse knocked down poles due to negligible damage incurred after collision. The minimal reinstallation time required after a collison also reduses traffic tie-ups.
