FlexStake HD is a ground-mounted highway delineator designed for areas where posts are subjected to numerous high speed vehicular impacts. The patented duplex post and hinge are UV stabilized and all weather.
In certified tests, the post has taken 341 hits at 35mph from both directions and the MTBF (of over 75 hits at 55mph) is unequaled in the industry. Some HDs are still in service after ten years of hard use. HD is presently state-of-the-art in high impact, ground-mounted highway delineation, arguably the best in the industry.

This is the post by which every other surface mounted highway delineator is judged: the incomparable hi-impact FlexStake SM. The SM will remain serviceable after an incredible number of vehicular impacts at 35mph, 55mph, and even 80mph. In rigorous A-B comparison tests, in all kinds of weather, FlexStake posts have outlasted every other highway delineator on the market by factors of up to 10 to one. SM routinely withstands over seventy-five vehicular impacts at 55mph before failure.

Available in surface or ground mount (not pictured), FlexStake Tubular Marker (TM) is an ultra hi-impact channelizer for sites where traffic from side streets merges with traffic in the construction site. Less than 5% breakage after nine months exposure on a heavily traveled thoroughfare is the norm. Also used as a high-impact traffic delineator for locations where 360 degree visibility is required. In case of breakage, post section is easily replaced without demounting anchor.
Though similar to the duplex SM, the tubular post hinge and inner core have been strengthened to carry the additional weight and stress of the heavier post. The tubular post itself is a long-life, color-impregnated, UV stabilized, special polymer extrusion.

FlexStake Utility Marker (UM) is an economically priced, moderate impact, off-road sign post or marker that was developed to mark underground pipelines, cables, or other buried devices. Depending on customer label design, the patented convex faces are wide enough (three inches) to carry identifying signs readable at up to 100 feet.
Though not as impact-proof as our hinged, ultra-high-impact HD delineator, the Utility Marker can still take an unbelievable amount of abuse. In several certified tests, this unhinged marker withstood over 75 automotive hits at 35mph. And due to its patented barbed anchor, cattle and deer can rub against it without pulling it out of the ground.

All standard signs are available
that do not exceed the load carrying capacity of the post. We also carry in
stock: K Marker, Chevron Marker and other small signs that are not pictured.
Sign faces are cut from UV resistant, hi-impact, post-consumer recycled copolymer.
Faces are silk-screened with hi-density, UV stabilized, copolymer inks. Faces
are mechanically fastened to one of two posts: hi-impact duplex posts (as
shown) and the hi-impact tubular post used in our highway channelizer.
Copolymer
faces available in all standard colors. Specialized sign shapes and silk screening
are available on special order.
