Sign Pig

The Sign Pig is a robust, heavy-duty sign base designed for long-term traffic management and urban infrastructure projects where stability and durability are essential.

Manufactured by Worxsafe, each Sign Pig combines a reinforced steel frame filled with concrete to provide exceptional ballast and resistance to movement or tampering. Weighing approximately 266 kg per unit, it eliminates the need for frequent maintenance interventions – making it the preferred choice for extended works in city centres and live traffic environments.

Unlike traditional sign bases that rely on sandbags or light metal frames, the Sign Pig’s zero-fuss ballast and compact footprint ensure signage remains secure, upright, and visible for months at a time. Its narrow profile allows safe pedestrian and cyclist passage, making it ideal for active travel routes, footways, and accessible crossings.

The elevated post height provides clear visibility over parked vehicles, while its durable build withstands weather, vibration, and high urban footfall.

Key Advantages

• Built for long-term use – heavy-duty design for extended site installations.

• Low maintenance – stays in place without frequent adjustments or repairs.

• Compact footprint – maximises walkway access while maintaining stability.

• Accessible design – suitable for wheelchair users and visually impaired pedestrians.

• Active travel compatible – allows cyclists and pedestrians to pass safely beneath signage.

• Durable and weather-resistant – reinforced steel filled with concrete for long service life.

• Quick to deploy – simple placement and setup, no assembly or sandbags required.

• Available for hire – supplied as part of comprehensive traffic and pedestrian management schemes.

Specifications

Typical Applications

• Urban construction sites – stable signage for multi-year or high-traffic works.

• City centre and public realm projects – maintains clear pedestrian routes with minimal maintenance.

• Active travel corridors – supports safe access for cyclists and pedestrians.

• Accessibility-focused environments – ensures visibility and space for wheelchair users and visually impaired pedestrians.

• Infrastructure upgrades and highway schemes – ideal where standard temporary signs require constant maintenance.

Long-Term Stability for Smart Cities

The Sign Pig’s weight and construction make it uniquely suited to city-centre and long-duration projects where traditional signage systems can’t provide the same resilience.

Its concrete-filled body keeps signage stable during storms, high winds, and busy pedestrian traffic. Designed for a “set and forget” installation approach, Sign Pig supports smart city objectives by reducing vehicle trips for maintenance and improving site safety through reduced manual handling.
