The environmentally friendly impact sleeve for affixing park benches, bollards, barrier posts and signs.
A fresh take on pile foundations –
FERRADIX® ground anchors are environmentally friendly impact sleeves used as isolated footings for affixing barrier posts, signs and street furniture. Since 1985!
The FERRADIX® ground anchor makes it easy and cost-efficient to affix traffic signs, garbage cans, tree guards, park benches, barrier posts, fences, bike stands and so much more.
The idea behind these ground anchors is to minimize the use of concrete in order to avoid unnecessary carbon emissions.
The anchors work in soil, gravel, asphalt (ALPHA), concrete and pavement (CITY).
The FERRADIX® tools offer a perfectly matched system for affixing posts and signs in traffic engineering.
For more than 35 years now, customers from all over Europe have been using environmentally friendly ground anchors from FERRADIX®. Even today, they’re still being produced directly by Sträb GMBH & CO KG in Wendlingen (Germany), a traditional steel-processing company with almost 100 years of experience.
Less concrete = fewer carbon emissions
FERRADIX® ground anchors aim to use as little concrete as possible and thus avoid unnecessary carbon emissions.
Keeping the environment in mind since 1985
FERRADIX® ALPHA = without concrete
The FERRADIX® ALPHA drive-in ground sleeve can be installed entirely without concrete. This saves up to 190 kg of concrete and up to 14,000 g of carbon emissions per pole. Surfaces are not sealed.
Typical applications for this include park benches, road traffic signs, fence and garden shed foundations.
FERRADIX® CITY = saves concrete
For all floor mountings whose foundations require the use of concrete, the FERRADIX® CITY concrete-saving anchor cuts up to 80 percent of concrete compared to conventional methods – thanks to its patented process. This avoids more than 11,000 g of carbon emissions per pole.
Typical applications include barrier bollards in the city, bike stands and road traffic signs, such as on traffic islands.

Sustainable anchoring technology – the environmentally friendly impact sleeve
Concrete production is responsible for about 8 percent of all man-made carbon emissions. Which also leads to a shortage of sand, a vital resource.
Thanks to the possibility of concrete-free installation, the FERRADIX® root pile helps shrink our ecological footprint. Each FERRADIX® ground anchor installed without concrete prevents over 190 kg of concrete from being used. This saves unnecessary carbon emissions, while also leaving the ground unsealed.
The FERRADIX® ground anchor root pole is made of hot-dip galvanized steel and can be reused several times. Replacing it is that easy!
To keep transport distances short and ensure top quality, FERRADIX® products are developed and produced in our own manufacturing facility in Wendlingen (Germany). You can choose from over 300 variations for combination and design.
