Full Product Description

FLEXPin Key — The Dedicated Tool for Flexible Post Systems

Flexible Posts have become the standard solution for guiding traffic, marking hazards and creating temporary barriers in environments where rigid bollards would damage vehicles or be damaged themselves. The FLEXPin Key (product code 291.17.7505) is the purpose-made fitting tool that makes the system genuinely fast to deploy.

Each Flexible Post connects to its recycled rubber base through a bayonet-lock mechanism — a quarter-turn coupling that, once engaged, locks the post securely in position while still allowing the head to flex and self-right after vehicle contact. The FLEXPin Key engages this bayonet cleanly, giving the operator the leverage and grip needed to seat or release a post in one smooth motion.

Where It's Used

The FLEXPin Key is the essential companion tool for highways teams, local authorities, traffic management contractors, car park operators, logistics yards and industrial sites running FlexPin-style flexible delineation. Typical applications include:

• Quick repairs — replace damaged posts after vehicle impact without closing the area for long periods
• Temporary traffic management — install, reconfigure and remove layouts for events, road works or seasonal demand
• Permanent delineation maintenance — service existing installations on car park boundaries, depot perimeters, pedestrian/vehicle separations and access controls
• Stock fleet operation — keep a key in every van so crews can rotate posts on demand

Why a Dedicated Key Matters

Trying to fit or remove a flexible post by hand — particularly on a worn or grit-clogged base — wastes time and risks damage to the bayonet mechanism. The FLEXPin Key is profiled to match the post's lock geometry exactly, so engagement is positive, force is applied where it should be, and the lifespan of both the post and the base is preserved.
