At the moment our production is running at 15 working days for standard items. Manufacture of custom items can take up to 20 working days.
Please note, as staffing and courier operations are variable at this time, the above is to be used as a guide only. We will endeavour to operate as close to normal as possible during this period.
All of our office staff are currently working from home so you may experience a short delay when your call is being forwarded to one of the team.
In the coming days and weeks we may experience some slight delays to delivery due to a courier backlog, however, in this event we will update the website accordingly.

Great Crash Test Performance
In crash tests at TRL, the 140 post was rated as N3 classification at 100kph, and at NE2 at 70kph. That gives it the highest safety ranking for a post of this kind.
The FSP Frangible Post System is designed to crumple on impact, and can be said to reduce the risk of secondary accidents associated with debris from the first accident.

Cost Benefits
The post can be installed in a similar way to a standard steel post i.e. set directly into a concrete foundation or a socket that has previously been set in concrete. Even the clips to hold the sign in place on a steel post work on the FSP Frangible fibre reinforced composite post. And, of course the post is very light so this makes it much easier to handle, and potentially much easier and quicker to install.
Data Availability
Structural performance data for the product will be made available directly to specifiers and users of the FSP Frangible Post System in order that it can be designed into local applications. This data is also being distributed to providers of sign design software so that as new releases become available they can reflect the suitability of our product for particular sites.

If you intend to mount a road sign to a new or existing post, you'll need road sign clips.
Road signs for post mounting come with channel section on the reverse.
Clips come in pre-determined diameters for circular posts. One end of the clip slides into the channel, the other is then bolted in place around the post.
Mounting road signs to posts with channel section clips is very easy and only requires a spanner for an M6 bolt.
