Insulated Road Pins 

Insulated Road Pins for Temporary Fencing

Insulated road pins are used to secure temporary fencing, mark out excavation areas and support site boundaries during construction and utility work. The fibreglass shafts provide insulation between the ground point and reinforced striking surface which helps reduce the risk of electrical contact. 

The ProSolve range includes 900mm road pins with plastic or metal points to suit different ground conditions. The fibreglass construction provides strength and weather resistance for regular outdoor use while the reinforced striking point allows the pins to be driven into the ground.

Choosing Between Plastic and Metal Point Road Pins

The right road pin depends on the ground you're working with. Plastic point road pins are designed for softer ground where the pin can be driven in without a steel tip. The 12mm fibreglass shaft makes them suitable for temporary fencing and marking out areas on grass or loose soil.

Metal point road pins are better suited to compacted or harder ground where a stronger tip is needed to penetrate the surface. ProSolve offers metal point options with 12mm and 16mm fibreglass shafts.

Both designs use insulated fibreglass shafts, but the correct pin should always be selected according to the site conditions and underground service risks.
