Our Standards in Our Product’s Design
We care about safety and the quality of our product. Our sleeve’s invention and design is based on our work as traffic engineers with traffic safety; sign design, installation, and maintenance; and work with crews. We set the standards for the design of our sleeves based on our experience, with the aim to provide you with a product that’s of quality, safe, and easy and efficient to use. This is why, when you look at our sleeves, you will see that:
- We use quality reflective sheeting.
- SaFlector® Sleeves are made with rounded corners to minimize snags and cuts to staff handling them and pedestrians walking by them.
- The sides of our sleeves are bent in – so they hold onto posts by themselves for ease of installation.
- SaFlector® sleeves are designed to work as a system with Telespar® posts.
- They include pre-punched holes to match Telespar® hole patterns.
- And can be quickly installed using drive rivets.
