Lattix® Passive Posts

Lattix® passive posts are frangible aluminium posts engineered to collapse safely upon impact providing a premium solution for roadside safety and signage support.

Their lattice-style construction makes them lightweight, strong, and non-energy absorbing, meaning they break away cleanly without transferring force to the vehicle or its occupants.

The Lattix® System

The Lattix® Above-Ground Cradle System is a specialised mounting solution designed for Lattix® passively safe aluminium posts. Simplifying the installation process, this system allows the post to be securely anchored above ground, offering a safer, more efficient alternative to traditional below-ground foundations.

Key Features and Benefits:

  • Passive Safety: The primary feature is the post's ability to break or deform upon impact, reducing the severity of accidents involving vehicles. 
  • Frangible Design: Lattix® posts are designed to fracture or bend at designated points, absorbing impact energy and minimising damage to the vehicle and injury to occupants. 
  • Compliance with Standards: Lattix® posts are tested and approved to meet European safety standards like EN 12767 (Passive Safety of support of structures for road equipment) and EN 12899-1 (Fixed, vertical road traffic signs). 
  • Versatility: The Lattix® system is adaptable to various roadside applications, including mounting traffic signs, signals, cameras, and other intelligent traffic management equipment. 
  • Modular Design: The system is often designed with modular components, allowing for customisation and easy adaptation to specific site requirements. 
  • Cost-Effectiveness: Standardisation of components and ease of installation contribute to cost efficiency.
