Break-Out Firsts

  • Fasteners and bolt torque play no role in breakaway feature.
  • Breaks away with a set amount of force from any angle of incidence (360º), irrespective of speed of impact.
  • The coupler shears flush with the surface and plugs the opening without leaving shards of metal to reduce trip-fall accidents.
  • The Anchor base is undamaged even if the Break-Out is directly impacted by a vehicle wheel, undercarriage or mower/plow blade.
  • Made of ductile material, and incorporating a patented tri-circular shear section (directly related to the actual post strength) Break-Out will elongate (bend) up to 12% ensuring high wind load capability.
  • No special tools (torque wrenches) are required for installation, just a ratchet and a pair of pliers.
  • Wedge-Lock® feature securely and quickly attaches to the anchor.
  • Utilizes existing tamper proof or standard fasteners.
  • After impact the sign can be repaired in less than 5 minutes by removing the wedge from the anchor and inserting a new coupler.
  • Simple with 3 components, you can say goodbye to complicated slip bases, straps, bars, breakable bolts and splices.
  • The Break-Out system makes it easy to change post types without a new anchor installation. To use a square or round post in lieu of a U-Channel simply insert the correct Break-Out in the existing anchor and attach the corresponding top post.
