#Mash signpost manual#
The MASSH-400 has been crash tested by an accredited independent third-party facility and meets the required MASH Test Level 3 criteria in the AASHTO Manual for Assessing Safety Hardware. MEETS MASH TL-3, FHWA ELIGIBILITY LETTER SS-180 The Omni-directional hinge assembly for multiple posts assists the structure in moving out of the way of a vehicle caused by an impact and helps reduce damage to the sign panel and vehicle. Redi-Torque bolts can easily be installed in high impact areas, without the need for a torque wrench and still provide the necessary holding strength for the post they are supporting. The Redi-Torque multi-directional triangular slip base is designed to be impacted from any direction and breakaway at impact. The MASSH-400 will save time and money as well as provide a safer environment for everyone on the roadway before, during and after a traffic incident.ĭESIGNED TO BE IMPACTED FROM ANY DIRECTION The pivoting action of the hinge assembly aids in permitting the post to bend and/or pivot out of the way of the vehicle, allowing the vehicle to pass under the sign after impact. The slip base and hinge have the strength to support a large sign area during normal conditions, yet allows the post to disengage from the stub with minimal force upon impact by an errant vehicle. The MASSH-400 has been successfully crash tested and meets the required MASH (Manual for Assessing Safety Hardware) Test Level 3 breakaway criteria and is eligible for reimbursement of funds on Federal-aid projects on the National Highway System. The MASSH-400 utilizes a unique, patent pending Redi-Torque multi-directional triangular slip base and Omni-directional hinge system in accordance with AASHTO “Standard Specifications for Structural Supports for Highway Signs, Luminaires, and Traffic Signals”, sixth edition. The MASSH-400 system is designed to be impacted from any direction unlike typical beam posts, and is field fit ready with the ability to hold up to 72 ft2 of sign area per post in a 90 mph wind zone. The sign support post is a 4-inch square x 8 gauge steel tube with a superior Gatorshield® finish to prevent corrosion.
Telespar® is proud to introduce the MASSH-400 ground mounted sign support system.
