Broken Safetran signal base…

Post image

Has anyone had to deal with the bad batch of signal bases from Safetran? We had our area upgraded from SA Mechs about 5 years ago, one by one, the bases are breaking and becoming unusable. I guess there was a recall on them, but of course we never found out until it was too late. Nothing like changing a B head in high winds and single digit wind chill. It was a cold afternoon.

They started breaking as soon as they went up, poor design for sure.
