    Q-Frame Sign Faces

    Sign Faces

    The Q-Frame comes with Quick-Lock fasteners installed at 300mm centres as standard, with the facility to move these into 450mm centre holes. These Quick-Lock fasteners have been carefully engineered to prevent any twists within the frame, ensuring an easy to install sign face every time.

    Q-Frame Branding

    Customisation

    Manufactured in Black as standard, however with the facility to manufacture with your corporate branding colours without the need for any extra processes. As well as this, corporate branding can be embossed onto the front bottom leg of the frame reducing in theft. Minimum runs apply.

    Q-Frame Deployment

    Deployment

    Sophisticated form around the connection for the back legs ensures they do not come away in everyday use. With indication as to when the legs are in the open position, and a smart catch feature when in the home position.

    HOG600 Max Fill

    Transport

    Unique to the Q-Frame is its ability to stack with itself, resulting in safer transport and utilisation of space more efficiently. 80 pieces to a pallet, with lighter-in-weight than its metal counterpart means less fuel required for transport.

    Wind Resistance:

    All temporary traffic signs must be able to withstand three different classes of wind speeds with the use of a ballast. The standard BS 8442:2015 states the three classes as the following:

    Class A: 26.3 m/s (58mph)
    Class B: 17.6 m/s (39mph)
    Class C: 8.7m/s (19mph)

    The Q-Frame is the first Quick Fit frame to be tested under strict conditions at the Full Scale Wind Tunnel at Mira to determine at which wind speeds the sign can withstand. Below are the results for the standard sign face range for the Q-Frame. These results are a guide to the recommended ballast weight for each Wind Class:
