Innovation Description and Benefit:
The Sign Buddy was designed to make putting up signs safer, easier, and more efficient. Traditionally, the ladder operator had to balance and carry nuts and bolts while installing the heavy sign, making the process challenging and unsafe. The Sign Buddy allows the ground operator to securely slide the sign into the PVC pipe with grooves, then lift it to the post. This enables the ladder operator to focus solely on bolting the sign into place, reducing the time spent on the ladder and improving safety. The result is a quicker, more effective installation process. This innovation is the ultimate solution for efficient sign mounting.
