The Thomson Signal Post Grab is the ideal solution to handling both round and square posts.

The jaws are lined with specially formulated polyurethane pads which give a high friction grip without damaging the surface of the post.

The grab has plenty of strength to handle fully assembled signal post structures and gives the precise control necessary to accurately place them in position.

Twin grip cylinders protected against hose failure by pilot operated check valves ensure that the grab is safe in operation.

Thomson Signal Post Grabs can be provided as complete assemblies or built into a redundant tilt rotator to save cost.
