Sign and Lamp PostWRAP Protector

Sign and Lamp PostWRAP Protector

Flexible Post Protection for Outdoor Infrastructure

The Sign and Lamp PostWRAP Protector is designed to protect vulnerable lamp posts and sign posts from accidental vehicle impact while improving visibility for drivers and pedestrians. Posts located within car parks, service yards and roadside environments are frequently exposed to low speed vehicle contact from cars, vans and service vehicles. Without protection, these impacts can result in costly repairs, damaged posts or vehicle bodywork.

The PostWRAP protection system provides a durable polyethylene outer shell combined with an internal foam impact absorbing core. This protective wrap cushions minor vehicle contact and helps reduce damage to both the post and vehicle while maintaining clear visibility of the protected structure.

Designed for simple installation around existing lamp posts and sign posts, the system provides a practical solution for protecting street furniture and infrastructure in areas where vehicles operate close to vertical posts.

Designed for Outdoor Traffic Environments

Lamp posts and sign posts are commonly installed in areas where vehicles manoeuvre regularly, including parking areas, service yards and access roads. These posts are vulnerable to shunts and low speed impacts that can occur during everyday vehicle movement.

The Sign and Lamp PostWRAP Protector improves both impact protection and visibility, helping drivers identify posts earlier while providing cushioning when contact occurs. The integrated reflective bands improve awareness during low light conditions and night time operation.

Typical environments include:

• Car parks and parking areas
• Service yards and delivery areas
• Industrial estates
• Retail park parking facilities
• Public access roads
• Commercial vehicle areas

By combining visibility and impact protection, the system helps reduce maintenance costs associated with damaged posts.

Impact Protection and Visibility

The PostWRAP protector is manufactured from durable polyethylene, a material widely used in industrial safety products due to its strength, flexibility and resistance to outdoor conditions.

Inside the protective shell is a closed cell foam impact absorbing core, designed to cushion minor vehicle impacts. This foam core helps reduce the force transferred to the post and vehicle during accidental contact.

The protector also incorporates diamond grade reflective bands, improving visibility for drivers approaching the post from multiple directions. This reflective marking helps highlight the protected structure in poor lighting conditions, particularly in outdoor environments where lighting levels may vary.

The combination of foam cushioning and reflective visibility provides both preventative and protective safety benefits.

Simple Clam-Shell Installation

The PostWRAP protector uses a clam-shell design, allowing the unit to be installed easily around existing lamp posts and sign posts without removing the post itself.

The two halves of the unit wrap around the post and secure together using M8 security bolts, creating a stable protective housing around the structure.

This design allows for:

• Quick installation
• Easy access for maintenance or inspection
• Replacement of the wrap without replacing the post itself

The protective housing also eliminates the need for repainting or corrosion maintenance, making it a low maintenance solution for outdoor infrastructure protection.

Adaptable Height Protection

The standard PostWRAP protector is supplied at 1250 mm height, providing protection at typical vehicle bumper height where impacts are most likely to occur.

For environments where larger vehicles operate, the units can be double stacked to provide 2500 mm protection height, improving visibility and protection at HGV cab level.

This allows the system to be adapted for:

• Passenger vehicle areas
• Commercial vehicle environments
• HGV access routes
• Industrial service yards

The modular stacking capability ensures protection can be tailored to suit different vehicle types operating within the facility.

Operational Benefits

The Sign and Lamp PostWRAP Protector provides several practical benefits when used in vehicle environments.

Reduces vehicle damage

The foam core helps cushion minor impacts, protecting both posts and vehicle bodywork.

Improves driver awareness

Reflective bands and high visibility colours highlight posts clearly in traffic areas.

Protects infrastructure

Reduces maintenance costs by preventing damage to lamp posts and sign posts.

Quick installation

Clam-shell design allows simple installation around existing posts.

Low maintenance solution

Polyethylene construction eliminates corrosion and repainting requirements.

Typical Applications

The Sign and Lamp PostWRAP Protector is commonly installed where vehicle traffic operates close to lamp posts or sign posts.

Typical installations include:

• Car park lamp posts
• Traffic sign posts
• Industrial service yards
• Commercial parking facilities
• Retail park car parks
• Warehouse exterior vehicle areas
• Delivery vehicle access routes

In these environments the PostWRAP protector improves safety, visibility and protection of essential infrastructure.

Summary

The Sign and Lamp PostWRAP Protector provides a practical and highly visible solution for protecting lamp posts and sign posts from low speed vehicle impacts. Manufactured from durable polyethylene with a foam impact absorbing core, the system helps reduce damage to vehicles and infrastructure while improving post visibility in traffic environments. Its clam-shell installation design allows quick fitting around existing posts, and the option to double stack units provides additional protection for commercial vehicle areas. This makes the PostWRAP protector a reliable solution for car parks, service yards and industrial traffic environments where posts are vulnerable to accidental contact.
