Traffic Signals & Luminaries

Safety Base omnidirectional breakaway systems are designed to support traffic signals and light poles.

The system is designed to withstand external bending and torque caused by static and wind loads but engineered to instantly break when impacted by an errant vehicle while protecting the vehicle passengers from additional damage. Tested to a 55 ft, 945 lbs light pole at the Texas Transportation Institute and installed on poles as large as 60ft, 1200 lbs poles. Our couplers are the only breakaways which save the anchor bolts from getting damaged upon impact. 

Unique to our system, the reaction plate not only protects the anchor bolts and allows for the uniform distribution of forces amongst couplers, but it also allows for retrofitting our system to bases of any size.

 

Some of the unique features of Safety Base Breakaways:

  • The only breakaway system which protects anchor bolts

  • Ease of installation and maintenance

  • Adjustable levelling nut

  • Optional reaction plate for retrofitting applications

  • Compatible with both male and female anchor bolts
