New Product Announcement: MDI WindMaster\u00ae Sign Stands Are Now Available<\/h1>\r\nTraffic Safety Store is excited to announce the addition of MDI WindMaster\u00ae portable sign stands<\/strong> to our work zone safety product lineup.\r\n\r\nMDI has been manufacturing traffic control products for decades, and its WindMaster line has become well known among road crews, contractors, utilities, municipalities and other organizations that regularly deploy temporary traffic control signs.\r\n\r\nWe are now stocking three WindMaster models designed specifically for roll-up traffic signs: a lightweight springless stand<\/strong>, a single-spring stand<\/strong> and a more substantial dual-spring stand<\/strong>.\r\n\r\n\"MDI<\/a>\r\n

Built for Temporary Traffic Control<\/h2>\r\nA good portable sign stand needs to do several things well. It should be fast to deploy, stable when positioned along a roadway, easy to transport from one jobsite to another and compact enough that crews can carry multiple stands in a work vehicle.\r\n\r\nMDI designed its WindMaster line around those requirements. Depending on the model, features include aircraft-grade aluminum components, telescoping legs, kick-release leg mechanisms, rubber leg caps for additional traction and spring systems designed to allow the sign to react to wind rather than acting as a completely rigid surface.\r\n\r\nThe manufacturer states that WindMaster sign stands are NCHRP-350 accepted<\/strong>. As with all temporary traffic control equipment, buyers should confirm that a particular device meets the requirements of the state, agency, contract or roadway where it will be used.\r\n\r\nYou can shop all Traffic Safety Store sign stands here<\/strong><\/a>.\r\n

Which WindMaster Sign Stand Should You Choose?<\/h2>\r\nThe three models we have added provide different combinations of weight, simplicity and wind performance. Here’s a quick look at the differences.\r\n

WindMaster\u00ae 5012NS Springless Roll-Up Sign Stand<\/h2>\r\n\"MDI<\/a>\r\n\r\nIf portability and simple operation are the priorities, start with the MDI WindMaster 5012NS<\/strong>.\r\n\r\nThis model eliminates the spring assembly, helping keep the stand lightweight at approximately 18 pounds<\/strong>. Adjustable telescoping legs allow the stand to be positioned on a variety of surfaces, while kick-release buttons make setup and breakdown easier for crews moving from one location to another.\r\n\r\nThe stand also includes a screw-lock bracket designed to securely hold the vertical crossbrace of a roll-up traffic sign.\r\n\r\nWhen folded, the 5012NS measures approximately 25 inches \u00d7 7.5 inches \u00d7 6.5 inches<\/strong>, making it easy to store in a truck or work vehicle.\r\n\r\nConsider the 5012NS when:<\/strong>\r\n
