Quick Fit Road Signs

Quick fit sign frames are a major part of our sign range and have recently become more and more popular with traffic management contractors and local authorities due to their versatility. They are quickly becoming the most popular temporary sign system on the UK road network.

The quickest system can be divided into two primary classes, “urban” and “high speed”. For urban areas where vehicles are travelling under 40mph then sign faces of 750mm are suitable, these are supplied in engineering grade or class 1 reflectivity. The appropriate frame for the 600mm and 750mm faces is the Quick Fit Mini.

If working on ‘high-speed’ applications such as dual carriageways and motorways then you will need larger sign faces and at least class 2 reflectivity. The faces will need to be either 900mm or 1200mm in size. You will, of course, need the appropriate frames to accommodate these larger faces also.

Which Sign Face Size For Which Frame?

Getting the right size frame for the face you are installing is important. The key factors are the toggle centres and the frames overall height. Ensuring the width of the frame is correct will ensure that the sign face is adequately supported and resists deformation in windy conditions. We have a guide to which size of Quick Fit Frame is best for each face here.

Ballast Bag Bars

All our Quick Fit sign frames come as standard with lower bars for anchoring sandbags. This lowers the centre of gravity of the sign and improves its wind resistance. We sell the sandbags required with this sign here.
