Product Description
Some signs are larger than others and some signposts taller. And some parking lots are much windier than others. If our 72 pound sturdy Sign Bases aren’t heavy enough for your specific situation, attaching a RubberForm Sign Base Weight provides a total weight of 150 pounds to hold your sign in place, come wind, rain, or snow.
And while it is harder to move assembled, you can detach the Base Weight and move it and the Sign Base easily as your needs change (or use our heavy-duty sign base weight mover cart).
Just like our Sign Bases, our RubberForm Sign Base Weights are made with 100% American recycled tire rubber that will last decades with no cracking, crumbling, spalling, or corroding. They won’t melt in the searing summer sun or warp in the biting cold of North American winters.

FREQUENTLY ASKED
How much do your portable sign bases weigh?
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.
How portable are your sign bases?
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.
How do I lift or move your sign base?
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.
I’m in a high-wind area and I need a heavier sign base. Do you have a base that weighs more than 72 pounds?
Yes, we have an add-on sign base weight that will add 75 pounds to our sign base, for a total of more than 145 pounds. It also creates a wider base, making it less likely to tip.
Does your sign base come in colors?
We offer thermoformed plastic safety yellow, or handicap blue covers that snap on top of the sign base for higher visibility. The plastic covers can be ordered in custom colors, however, require a minimum quantity order.
What size signposts does your sign base support? Can I use round, square or U-Channel signposts?
We have 3 signpost hole sizes. They can be ordered with a square hole to accommodate a 1-¾” square perforated or smooth, square post with drilled holes. The square hole base will accommodate a U-channel post as well. We can also custom-fabricate square tubes to any configuration and powder coat any color. We also have sign bases with a round post holes to accommodate a 2-⅜” round Schedule 40 plastic post or aluminum post and a 1-⅔” round post. The round plastic 2-⅜” post is our most-popular signpost base.
What post height do you recommend for your 72-pound sign base?
We generally recommend a 5’ signpost for our sign bases. This cuts down on the wind shear that might tip the sign base over in higher wind areas. If you require a taller post, please order 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 MUTCD height of 7’ to 8’, use a metal post for this application as plastic may bend in the wind. Please check with your local sign ordinances for the regulations and or sign code requirements.
What is the minimum quantity I can order?
Just one sign base. We can ship out via FedEx or UPS ground to any location or up to 20 sign bases per pallet via common carrier – LTL.
What is the turnaround time to ship your sign base?
Our sign bases are generally in stock and can be shipped out the following business day. Larger orders (greater than 100 sign bases) may take a little longer.
How many sign bases fit on a pallet?
We can ship up to 20 sign bases per pallet via common carrier – LTL.
Why is the RubberForm sign base better than the octagonal sign bases I’ve seen other places?
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. We’ve had these octagonal sign bases tested by national sign companies, and they told us the RubberForm sign base is much more stable in high winds due to its low center of gravity design. Side-by-side comparison tests done by our customers have shown RubberForm sign bases winning indisputably.
