Why Choose the Slip Top Base Assembly?
Outperforms threaded bases. Proven to last.
1
Multiple Pole Configurations
Available with standard pipe or Custom Profile Pole options, all under the same integrated assembly.
2
Dual Locking Mechanism
Built-in dual locking mechanism secures the connection for added security.
3
Integrated Package
Simplifies ordering by combining the slip top base, door, pole cap, and pole configuration under one part number.
4
Better Roadway Alignment
The Slip Top design supports better roadway alignment compared to traditional threaded connections.
5
Increased Longevity
Delivers increased longevity versus a threaded connection, with more than double the lifespan.
6
Easier & Faster Installation
The non-threaded connection makes installation and maintenance easier and faster in the field.
7
Avoids Seizing & Stripping
Because there is no threading on the pole, the Slip Top Base avoids the seizing and stripping issues common to threaded designs.
8
Broad Configuration Support
Capable of supporting all standard configurations and mounting applications.
9
Maintains Strength Over Time
Maintains strength throughout the life of the product, even in high vibration locations.
Outperforms Threaded Bases. Proven to Last.
Our Slip Top Bases deliver the same strength as 12K bases with proven resistance to fatigue and loosening, outperforming traditional threaded bases by more than 2X in independent vibration tests.
The Slip Top Base lasted a minimum of 4,500 cycles under cyclic loads at resonant frequency. Comparative testing with threaded base saw failure around 2,000 cycles.

Non-Threaded Strength
No Threading on the Pole
With no threading on the pole, the connection avoids seizing and stripping, and is not a point of failure.
Custom Profile Pole
Lighter, Not Weaker
9,500 lbs pull with no deformation. Comparable strength to a SCH 40 threaded pole, at a lighter weight.
Cycles Until Failure
4,500 vs 2,000
Lasts a minimum of 4500+ cycles, more than double the typical 2,000-cycle life of a threaded base.
Complete Assembly
One Part Number
Base, door, pole cap, and pole all ordered together under a single, fully integrated part number.
