Introducing our MASH TL3 Approved Frangible Systems

At Signfix, we take pride in providing the highest level of safety for motorists and pedestrians with our MASH TL3 approved frangible sign support systems. Our Optimast® Frangible sign support and Signfix® Frangible sign support structures are engineered to meet the most demanding traffic applications, ensuring reliable and predictable impact performance. Tested and approved by the Austroads Safety Barrier Assessment Panel (ASBAP), these systems are designed for use on Australian and New Zealand road networks, making them the only MASH approved options in Australia.

Optimast® Frangible Sign Support System

The Optimast® Frangible sign support system has been proven in the UK, Germany, and France, and it meets or exceeds the MASH testing thresholds for frangible structures. It has successfully undergone rigorous impact testing by a leading FHWA accredited testing agency, and it has been shown to provide occupant impact velocities below the preferred 3.0m/s thresholds and occupant ride-down decelerations below the preferred 15.0g threshold.
The Optimast® Frangible sign support system is easy to install, and it can be easily replaced if damaged. It is also structurally designed to support large directional signs of up to 40m2.
The Optimast® Frangible sign support system consists of an extruded aluminium mast, shear bolts, and a base plate. The mast is delivered fully assembled, and the base plate is simple to install with foundation bolts onto an anchor cradle socket set into a concrete foundation.
The Optimast® Frangible sign support system is also equipped with a wind chart system that allows installers to easily determine the optimal pole configuration (number of poles and size) for a given site. Clear instruction manuals are also provided.

Signfix® Frangible Sign Support Structure

The Signfix® Frangible sign support structures are also a MASH TL3 approved system, and it offers the same high level of safety as the Optimast system. It is made from strong, corrosion resistant aluminium, and it is easy to install and maintain.

The Signfix® Frangible sign support structures consist of lightweight extruded aluminium components that are easy to handle and convenient to transport. It is simple to install with no specialist equipment required, and props are not required for installing ground sleeves and larger poles during the foundation hardening process.

Damaged poles are easily removed, and replacement poles can be re-installed into existing sleeve foundations. The Signfix® Frangible sign support structures also comes with a wind chart system, clear instruction manuals, and a QR code on ground sleeves for easy installation instructions.
