Traffic cones – industry options

traffic cones, orange cones, traffic cone, construction cone, road coneTraffic cones usually have a few options available, so when you are updating your inventory, it’s important to know what your choices are.  The first and most obvious option is the size of the traffic cone.  They usually range from 6″ to 36″, the industry generally makes them in 6″, 12″, 18″, 28″ and 36″.  Again, before picking the exact type of cone you want, it’s important to see the specs of the job.

Reflective collars (or reflective tape) is very popular, because traffic cones are usually used on roads (although sometimes people use sports cones).  Usually people choose a 4″ and a 6″ band on their cones, but customizing is always an option as well.  Weights are also important because you want to make sure the cone doesn’t fall over.  10lb is the most common for the taller cones.  The least common option is changing the color from the standard orange to something like flourescent green or yellow, commonly used around car washes.  Higher quantities are usually required for this.
