Thanks to Kalifix technology, the installation and maintenance of signposts become fast, precise, and uncomplicated.
Fewer tools, fewer steps, more efficiency in the field.
Accelerate your operations now with a solution designed for municipal teams.
Kalifix allows you to orient road signs at any angle, with no constraints related to the way the post is installed. The round post allows the direction of the post to be rotated even when it is moved.
The result: increased visibility of signs, regardless of the environment or road configuration.
Ensure your signage is always perfectly aligned. Switch to Kalifix.
A pole bent after an impact?
Kalifix technology allows for fast and efficient straightening, even in winter conditions, without having to replace the entire structure.
Reduce heavy-duty interventions. Save time all year round.
Kalifix's safe design limits physical strain, complex maneuvers, and the risk of injury for employees, who spend less time exposed to the roadside.
Protect your teams with technology that prioritizes safety.
In the event of an impact, the system reduces the risks associated with rigid poles, contributing to a safer road environment for all users, in addition to being approved.
Choose signage that protects both citizens and your infrastructure.
With Kalifix, damaged materials can be reused up to 95%, limiting waste and costly replacements.
A sustainable solution, aligned with the environmental goals of modern municipalities.
Adopt responsible and sustainable technology today.
Kalifix technology is intuitive and easy to master, which facilitates team training and ensures uniform application in the field.
Standardize your practices and maximize your teams' performance.
The Kalifix has been approved as a tool by Green Procurement Tool Canada, a program of the Government of Canada.
The pin has two (2) steel rods painted with a zinc primer, held in place by an aluminum block. It will break upon impact so that it can be manually reset in a few seconds.

When the poles are driven into the ground, a sleeve must be reinserted each time.
Kalifix is revolutionizing signage with its quick installation, precise panel adjustment, and efficient post straightening, even in winter.
Safer for employees and the public, durable and reusable, Kalifix reduces costs, simplifies maintenance, and optimizes modern, reliable, and efficient municipal operations everywhere.
Equipped with two flexible steel rods, the pin connecting the post to its anchor is designed to break when the post is damaged, allowing it to be temporarily straightened after a low-speed impact.
3-minute repair, profitable in 4 years, 2 to 4 times less CO2. Easy installation and maintenance (avoid excavation). Save on maintenance costs.
Safer: L6X certified by the Ministère des Transports du Québec. Temporary straightening 365 days a year.
More durable: 40-year lifespan. Hot-dip galvanization.
More ecological: Up to 95% reusable materials after impact. Up to 4x less GHG over its lifespan.
Absolutely. Kalifix is designed to last: every component is made from materials resistant to weathering, corrosion, and repeated impacts. The system is guaranteed and performs well even in extreme weather conditions.
Installation is quick and easy, and can be carried out by a single person, on all types of ground. In the event of an impact, only the pin needs to be replaced, which can be done in a few minutes, without specialized tools or concrete to pour. This saves time and increases efficiency for your field teams.
Kalifix is made from 100% recyclable materials and is 95% reusable after an impact. Its modular design allows only damaged parts to be replaced, thus significantly reducing waste. In addition, it generates up to 4 times less CO₂ emissions than a traditional support.
Yes. Kalifix is designed to absorb impact energy, thereby reducing the force transmitted to the vehicle and its occupants. L6X-approved by the Quebec Ministry of Transport, it provides better protection for users than traditional rigid supports, which can cause serious injuries in the event of a collision.
