Roll Away Mailbox Post
Our Roll AwayÖ Mailbox Post is the best and easiest way to avoid having to replace your rural mailbox every winter because it has been damaged by passing trucks or snowplows. It rolls out of the way manually or automatically via a remote control device (similar to a garage door opener). The mail box sits on a unique sliding arm that is retracted by a spring after mail is placed in the box, or after a snowfall. Because the mailbox is on a long sliding arm, the post can be placed up to 4 feet from the edge of the roadway. Thus the post and the mailbox are out of the way of vehicles that may cause damage.
  Our mail box post is free standing or it can be designed with a sleeve which will slip over a standard mailbox wood 4 x 4-in. post. The design meets all postal regulations. The mailbox is constructed from high quality steel. A patent has been applied for and we hope to have units on the market by spring. The price will be $350 to $400. If you are interested in licensing, distributing or manufacturing, please contact me.
