Demarcation Base System

Product Description

Our RubberForm Demarcation Base System alerts your workers to dangerous areas on your roof, particularly radiation from cell phone towers, and keeps them a safe distance away. It can be used indoors as well to alert for any hazardous area.

Based on our parking lot sign base system, these demarcation bases are easy to install and just as easy to relocate. They won’t blow over in the wind, and the 100% American recycled tire rubber won’t crack, crumble, or corrode, no matter the heat, cold, rain, ice, or snow you throw at it.

Product Description

Failure to maintain proper industrial demarcation can expose you to fines and legal liability (see multiple regulatory requirements for EME warning barriers). Demarcation includes both physical barriers and visual indicators (sometimes called indicative barriers) to alert workers to potential danger. 

Permanent attachments for these barriers or signs will rust, crack, or corrode over time and are difficult to remove and reconfigure. Our RubberForm Demarcation Base Systems are blessedly simple to install and just as easy to remove or relocate later. The bases are heavy with a low center of gravity, so they won’t blow over in high wind during outdoor use. And the whole system is non-conductive, making it ideal for safe roof use.

Our 100% American recycled tire rubber can withstand rain, ice, and snow. It won’t chip, warp, or spall in either the searing heat of the summer sun or the frigid cold of North American winters. The yellow safety chain is made of a hard, durable plastic that will never rust. 

Keep your workers safe and alert to potential danger while they’re working.

FREQUENTLY ASKED

What's the difference between your sign base and the plastic one I've seen for sale elsewhere?

The plastic knock-off you've seen is blow-molded, thin-walled plastic. That saves a lot of money for the manufacturer, but means it will break the first time it tips over or is ever so gently nudged by a vehicle. It also can crack open the first time it freezes, even without any collision. Our sign base won't tip over even in heavy wind, and won't chip, crack, crumble, or corrode in extreme weather or due to vehicle collision.

How portable are your sign bases?

They're so easy to move your grandparents could do it. Simply tip the base over on its bottom side edge and roll it into position (that's why our base is round!). Grab the top of the signpost and push/roll it into the top of the base. If you need a cart to move, we have two sign base carts: one for our 72-pound sign base and another for our 150-pound sign base w/base weight. No need for mounted wheels that will eventually rust or break off.

I need a heavier base than 72 lbs. for a high-wind area.

We have an add-on sign base weight for a total of 150 pounds (with the sign post). It also creates a wider base, making it less likely to tip.

Does your sign base come in colors?

We only make our sign base in black. However, we offer thermoformed plastic covers in safety yellow or handicap blue (as well as custom colors with a minimum order, depending on color) that snap right on top of the sign base for higher visibility.

What kind of sign posts can I use with your sign bases?

We have 2 signpost hole sizes: a 1-¾” perforated square sign post, and a 2-⅜“ round Schedule 40 thickness plastic post (or aluminum post with a minimum order, since we don’t normally stock them). We can also accommodate round posts smaller than 2-⅜“, just ask.

What post height do you recommend?

We recommend a 5’ signpost. This cuts down on the wind shear that might tip the sign base over in higher wind areas. If you require a taller post, we advise adding our 75-pound sign base weight that attaches to the bottom of our 72-pound sign base; this added sign base weight will enable you to go up to the MUCTD height of 7’ or 8’. You should also use a metal post for this application as plastic may flex in the wind.

What is the minimum quantity I can order?

Just one sign base! We can ship a boxed sign base out via FedEx or UPS ground to any location or up to 20 sign bases per pallet (bulk-packed, not boxed) via common carrier–LTL. We’ve also fabricated custom pallets for special orders, just ask!

What is the turnaround time to ship your sign base?

Our sign bases are usually in stock on the shelf and can be shipped out the following business day. Larger orders (greater than 1,000 sign bases) will take longer. Let us know your timetables and we’ll work to accommodate your delivery needs.

How many sign bases fit on a pallet?

We can ship up to 20 sign bases per pallet via common carrier–LTL (bulk-packed, not boxed).

Why are your sign bases round instead of octagonal?

Two reasons: our round sign bases can be rolled on their side, which is why we call them portable. Octagonal sign bases can't. But our round design is also more stable in high-wind conditions. The center of gravity is lower than any octagonal design we've seen. In side-by-side comparisons some of our customers have actually done, the round sign base always stays upright longer in heavy wind.
