U Channel Sign Post Roll Forming Machine (Road Sign Posts)
What Is a U Channel Sign Post Roll Forming Machine?
A U channel sign post roll forming machine produces the U-shaped steel posts used to mount road signs, traffic signs and street name signs. U channel sign posts are the standard for roadside signage in many countries: the sign brackets bolt into the channel and the post is driven or set into the ground. The machine forms the U section from galvanized coil in standard lengths (commonly 1.8-3.0 m) with punched holes along the web for sign mounting, and is the core machine for sign post manufacturers and road equipment suppliers.
