Our Products
FlexStake
Since 1989, FlexStake has become the world standard for impact-resistant signs and markers of all kinds. FlexStake has spent more than two decades researching and developing advanced polycarbonate technologies to provide a supply of high-performance delineators, markers, stakes, signs, and accessories that are the leaders in the industry.
FlexStake FH (Fire Hydrant) Markers
FlexStake high-impact bracket mounted markers have received national acclaim (except from our competitors). Our fire hydrant and horizontal signposts have the proven impact resistance for which the company is well known.
FlexStake FH is fastened right onto the hydrant itself. Reflective tape and hydrant decals—optional.
FlexStake FH can be flexed in any direction without damage. The hinge is so supple that a fireman can easily bend the post out of the way to access the operating nut, steam, and port caps. Hoses do not become entangled.
FlexStake FH puts safety first. The hollow Bayer configuration is securely closed at the top to keep out foreign objects. The mounting bracket and post end are rounded to prevent injury to children, pets, and fire hoses. As an additional safety measure, the hinge return action is slowed so that the post cannot be used as a whip. The post is highly visible, fade-resistant, and virtually indestructible with normal use.
We also carry a range of other FlexStake products. Contact us today for a free quote.
