Test of Plasticade SS340 Sign Stand device 

with a MASH specified 11 OOC test vehicle. 

The test was run on 11 /16/ 16. The curb 

mass of the vehicle was 1114.5 kg and the 

final test inertial mass was 1116.0 kg. Impact 

speeds were 100.1 km/h and 98.1 km/h for 

the 0 and 90 degree sign stands, 

respectively. For the 0 degree test, the 

11 OOC vehicle's front bumper impacted the 

vertical member of the sign stand just 

above the springs. As the stand passed 

under the vehicle, the sign released from 

the stand. The sign laid on the hood with 

the vertical fiberglass support contacted the 

windshield causing minor damage. The 

lower leg section of the stand stayed low 

during the impact and slid forward. For the 

90 degree test, the 11 OOC vehicle's front 

bumper impacted the vertical member of 

the sign stand just above the springs. As the 

stand began to yield, the sign released from 

the stand. The sign rotated towards the 

windshield and the fiberglass support 

impacted the windshield that was 

previously damaged. The sign stand laid 

down flat and the vehicle passed over the 

entire sign stand. The test vehicle sustained 

negligible damage to the bumper, hood, or 

roof; there was no damage to the 

undercarriage of the test vehicle. There was 

some damage to the windshield, including 

slight tearing of the liner after the second 

impact, but no penetration. There was no 

penetration or deformation of the occupant 

compartment. 

PASS 
Test of the Plasticade SS340 Sign Stand 

device with a MASH specified 2270P test 

vehicle. The test was run on 11 / 15/16. The 

curb mass of the vehicle was 2202.0 kg and 

the final test inertial mass was 2226.0 kg. 

Impact speeds were 102.4 km/ h and 100.3 

km/ h for the Oand 90 degree sign stands, 

respectively. 

For the 0 degree test, the 2270P vehicle's 

front bumper impacted the vertical member 

of the sign stand just above the springs. As 

the upright yielded, the roll up sign released 

from the stand and draped over the upper 

grille and hood areas. The sign remained in 

this position until the vehicle stopped. As 

the stand started to pass under the vehicle, 

the front wheels rolled over the stand legs. 

One of the legs detached from the stand 

and the stand exited the rear of the vehicle. 

For the 90 degree test, the 2270P vehicle's 

3-72 (2270P) hood and bumper impacted the bottom of 

the sign and the vertical member of the sign PASS 

stand just above the springs. The sign 

immediately released from the vertical 

member of the stand and draped over the 

bumper and hood and then exited from the 

vehicle. As the stand passed under the front 

bumper, the front wheels rolled over the 

extended legs and the stand became stuck 

under the vehicle until the vehicle came to a 

stop. The test vehicle sustained minor 

damage to the front bumper; there was no 

damage to the undercarriage of the test 

vehicle. There was no damage to the 

windshield. There was no penetration or 

deformation of the occupant compa rtment. 

The Plasticade SS340 was judged by E-TECH 

to have successfully met MASH evaluation 

criteria for Test Level 3 under the criteria for 

work zone traffic control devices.
