The Rhino Low Drive Extension Drive Cap for Square Telespar Breakaway Systems is a specialized tool designed to facilitate the installation and efficient driving of Square Telespar posts used in breakaway systems. These systems are commonly used in safety-critical applications such as traffic control and roadway safety barriers, where posts must break away upon impact to minimize harm to vehicles and drivers. The Low Drive Extension Drive Cap works with post-driving machinery to allow users to drive posts quickly and securely while ensuring the integrity of the breakaway system.
- Design:The Low Drive Extension Drive Cap is specifically designed to fit and drive Square Telespar posts, which are typically used in breakaway systems. These posts are designed with a square cross-section, and the drive cap is engineered to securely grip and drive these posts without damaging the integrity of the system. The low drive extension feature of the cap provides an additional length for driving posts deeper into the ground without needing excessive force. This design allows for greater flexibility in the post-driving process, especially when dealing with varying soil conditions or when greater post depth is required.
- Applications:The Low Drive Extension Drive Cap is primarily used in the installation of Square Telespar posts within breakaway systems.
- Traffic Safety Systems: The primary application of the drive cap is in traffic safety, particularly in the installation of breakaway traffic signs, signposts, and barrier systems. These breakaway posts are essential for ensuring that structures like signs or barriers can detach safely during a collision, reducing damage to vehicles and preventing injury to occupants.
- Roadway and Highway Construction: The drive cap is used in roadway construction for setting up breakaway systems along highways and streets. This is particularly important where safety is a concern, such as near high-speed roads or construction zones.
- Utility and Safety Barrier Posts: The drive cap is used in the installation of utility posts and safety barriers that must break away under impact. It is a common component in installations for guardrails, traffic barriers, and impact zones to ensure a minimal risk of injury during accidents.
- Public Infrastructure Projects: In public infrastructure projects, such as parking lots, streetlight installations, or construction sites, the drive cap ensures the proper installation of posts in safety-sensitive locations. The breakaway system is essential in reducing the potential for accidents involving vehicles.
- Sports Facilities and Temporary Structures: The Rhino Low Drive Extension Drive Cap is also useful in sports facility construction, where posts must be installed securely yet designed to break away on impact for safety reasons. These breakaway posts may be used around stadium fields, race tracks, or event setups where safety barriers are required.
- Materials:Key contact points that experience high levels of wear, such as the part of the drive cap that interacts with the Square Telespar posts, are often hardened steel. Hardened steel can withstand abrasions and impact stresses, extending the lifespan of the tool.
- Configurations:1-1/4″ to 2-1/2″ Post ID
