Trailblazer Vertical Panel Rubber Base

It is the weighted rubber foot that a delineator post, a channelizer, or a vertical panel stands on. The post itself is light and flexible, so the base is what keeps it planted when the wind kicks up or a vehicle rushes past. Most are made from recycled rubber, so they are heavy, tough, and hold up outdoors for years. Buy the base to match the post you are running, or replace a cracked one to bring an old post back to life.

Match the weight to the wind and the traffic. Lighter bases around 8 to 10 pounds are fine indoors and in calm, low speed spots. The 15 to 16 pound bases are the everyday middle ground for most lots and work areas. The 30 pound bases are for open, windy sites and higher speed roads where you do not want anything tipping. When in doubt, go heavier, since a tipped post helps no one.

Not always, so match the base to the post system. Most delineator and channelizer posts share a standard stem that drops into these bases, but some panels and posts use their own base, like the Trailblazer vertical panel base here. Check that the base opening matches your post before you order, and if you are not sure, tell the team the post you have and they will point you to the right one.
