The RSJ Post – Dig-In is a robust support post engineered for securing Armco crash barriers in locations where concrete anchoring isn’t viable. Designed for ground casting, this post provides deeper foundation strength, particularly in softer ground environments such as verge edges, grassy zones, and soil-based perimeters. Available in 1200mm and 1500mm lengths, it accommodates both standard and heavy-vehicle environments.
Dig-in RSJ posts are constructed from high-grade steel and deliver superior resistance to vehicular impact. The deeper embedment of the post provides additional leverage and stability, ensuring the safety and durability of the entire barrier system. Use in conjunction with HERMEQ beams, fixings and end treatments to build a crash barrier suited for industrial, warehousing or traffic control applications.
- Reliable performance – Provides structural integrity even in challenging ground conditions.
- Post sizes for all traffic levels – Choose 1200mm for car parks or 1500mm for HGV zones.
- Supports all Armco beams – Secure fit with Straight Corrugated Steel Beams or Curved Beams.
- Full integration – Compatible with standard M16 bolts and HERMEQ accessories.
- Durable steel construction – Impact-rated for long-term use in busy environments.
This post is essential in traffic barriers designed for areas where digging is preferred over surface bolt-down. Common sites include logistics hubs, agricultural settings, roadside safety systems and perimeter security lines. These RSJ profiles are more robust than Z-Posts, offering extra protection in high-risk zones.
Combine with Fish Tail Ends, Pedestrian Ends and Barrier Corners to finish your system. Standard fixings such as Lap Bolts and Post Bolts ensure quick and easy installation. The post's RSJ profile is built to absorb and redistribute force, minimising deformation during a collision and supporting rapid repairs.
HERMEQ stock a wide range of Armco components to support your barrier layout, including Straight Corrugated Steel Beams, Fish Tail Ends and Pedestrian Ends enabling complete site protection.

The RSJ Dig-In Post is a trusted solution for barrier installations where bolt-down isn't feasible. It’s frequently used in new developments, temporary safety systems on grassed or unpaved land, and permanent perimeter lines. Its robust structure and compatibility with all HERMEQ beam systems make it one of the most versatile traffic barrier supports available.
Installation simply requires trenching and casting the lower half of the post into soil or compacted substrate. Once installed, the post delivers high resistance against HGV and forklift collision impact, maintaining site safety and minimising ongoing repairs. Use as part of a full Armco crash barrier layout to meet operational and compliance needs in UK construction and logistics environments.
What is the difference between Dig-In and Bolt-Down RSJ posts?
Dig-In posts are installed into the ground with no surface bolts, ideal for soft or unpaved locations. Bolt-down is used on concrete or hard pads.
Where are Dig-In RSJ Posts typically used?
They’re suited for areas with earth ground, verges, and locations where surface drilling isn't suitable, like grassy zones.
Can I use these posts for HGV traffic?
Yes, the 1500mm variant is recommended for areas with regular HGV activity.
Do these posts work with curved and straight beams?
Yes, they’re compatible with both HERMEQ straight and curved Armco barrier beams.
