Simply lay one mat in front of the other, or side-by-side depending on the necessary track-out pad dimensions for the project.

Simply lift the mat up with your forklift or loader, give it a shake, and lay it back down. There is no bottom to RubberForm’s track-out control mat. The gaps in-between each track-out block traps the sediment that falls from the construction vehicle ensuring that the mat will never clog up.

72 pounds, with a low center of gravity for added stability. We also have a 75-pound base weight for high wind areas with larger signs.

Simply just tip on its bottom side edge and roll the round base into position. Grab the top of the side post and place you hand halfway down the signpost and push into position. If you need a cart to move, we have two size sign base carts, for our 72-pound sign base and our 150-pound sign base post system.

You can either tip-and-roll into position, or if you need an easier way to move around, we offer a sign base mover cart for longer distances. We have 2 sizes available – one for our standard 72-pound sign base and one for our additional 75-pound sign base weight, for a total weight of 150 pounds.

Most of these sign bases are imported, from China and Quebec Canada (Canada subsidizes their tire recycling and product manufacturing program as much as 50% subsidy). Our sign base is made in our plant in the USA, New York State.

Side-by-side comparison tests done by our customers have shown RubberForm sign bases winning indisputably.
