Protecting Traffic Signal Controls & Feeder Pillars From Rodent Attack & Damage

T&D together with Ritherdon are able to offer the Ritherdon Hinged Controller Base (HCB) which allows easy access for cable installation and the removal or replacement signal cable ducting into a controller cabinet - an innovative design making traffic signals work more safely and cost effective and therefore reducing the disruption to road users by keeping the traffic following. 

The HCB protects both traffic signal controls and feeder pillars from damage including rodent attack.

The top of the Hinged Controller Base opens fully and hinges back bringing both sides of the cable with the gland-plate interface to a comfortable working height.

Signal cables can be threaded simply through the sealed plate from one hand to the other and can simply lower the bundle of cables back down into the chamber below.

The HCB has simplified installing and modifying signal junctions as it now isn't necessary for installers to lie on wet, dirty pavements or work through narrow access holes to thread cables into the signal cabinet - SWA cable can now be installed quicker and easier.

Cabling can be added even with the controller cabinet installed using the Ritherdon Hinged Cabinet Base jacking system (all fixings, etc. incorporated into every unit).
