The Post Top Bracket is an alternate method for mounting signal heads.
The Post Top Bracket is an alternate method for mounting signal heads. The post tops are mainly used in temporary intersections, parking lots, check out booths, etc., and where access to conventional side-of-pole mounting is unavailable and/or prohibited.
Made out of durable cast aluminum, the post top fitting fits on a 4 ½” diameter post. The fitting contains six stainless steel set screws which are used to fasten the post top fitting on the post. With a combination of extruded aluminum arms and elbows, you can mount from one to four signal heads.
When ordering a two, three, or four way mounting post top, Fortran supplies a 40″ aluminum pipe. This is sufficient to mount 3 x 12 signal heads. Fortran will pre-cut the vertical aluminum pipe if the signal head size is specified.
The post-top arrangement provides an alternative where conventional side-of-pole signal mounting is unsuitable. The Fortran sheet describes applications such as temporary intersections, parking areas and booths. Different combinations of arms and elbows allow the assembly to be configured around the required number and arrangement of signal heads.
Provide the post dimensions, number of heads, signal sizes and required orientations. Ask Fortran to confirm the complete fitting and pipe configuration, including any pre-cut length requirement. Review the supplied drawing and the project's structural requirements rather than assuming a post-top fitting is suitable for every existing pole.
View the manufacturer product document for the model tables and drawings, or contact Fortran with your equipment details.
