Description

When traffic is moving at 120 km/h on an expressway, visibility is a matter of life and death. Standard traffic cones often disappear from a driver’s line of sight, hidden behind the crest of a hill or obscured by other vehicles. The 1 Meter Traffic Cone (MASSHX1000) is the solution. Standing at a massive 1000mm (3.2 feet) in height, this is the tallest and most visible safety cone in our inventory. It is engineered specifically to command attention on National Highways, Airport Runways, and Mining Sites where standard equipment simply isn’t enough.

The “Line of Sight” Advantage
Why choose a Tall Traffic Cone? It comes down to physics and perspective. Truck drivers and bus operators sit high above the road. A small 500mm or 750mm cone can easily be blocked from their view by the hood of their own vehicle when they get close. The 1 Meter Traffic Cone towers above standard obstacles.

• Early Warning: Its extra height allows it to be seen from further distances, giving drivers of heavy vehicles crucial extra seconds to brake or change lanes.
• Over-the-Hood Visibility: It remains visible to truck drivers even at close range, preventing accidental run-overs in tight maneuvering zones.

5.0 KG of Unshakable Stability
Height creates a challenge: wind. The taller the cone, the more wind it catches. To counter this, we have engineered the MASSHX1000 with extreme mass. Weighing in at 5.0 KG, this is a true Heavy Duty Highway Cone.

• Wind Resistance: The weight is concentrated in the base, anchoring the cone against the powerful “bow wave” of air pressure created by passing semi-trucks. While lighter cones dance and tip over, the 5kg cone stands firm.
• Hexagonal Anti-Roll Base: We utilize a unique Hexagonal Base Cone design. If this cone is ever knocked over by a catastrophic impact, the flat sides of the hexagon act as brakes. Instead of rolling like a wheel into active traffic lanes (a major risk with round cones), it slides and stops immediately. This “anti-roll” technology prevents secondary accidents on high-speed roads.

Durability for Harsh Environments
This is not a disposable plastic marker; it is a long-term asset.

• Flexible Virgin PVC: The body is molded from high-grade soft PVC. If a vehicle impacts the cone, the body collapses to absorb the energy and then springs back to its original shape. It is crash-resistant and forgiving.
• UV Stabilization: The fluorescent orange pigment is UV-stabilized to withstand the relentless Indian sun without fading to white.
• Interlocking Construction: The heavy black base and the orange body are permanently bonded. They will not separate, even when thrown off the back of a maintenance truck.

Applications: Where Size Matters
The 1000mm Traffic Cone is the preferred choice for high-stakes environments:

• National Highways & Expressways: Where speeds exceed 100 km/h and long-distance visibility is mandatory.
• Airports: Taller cones are required on tarmacs to be visible from the high cockpits of large aircraft and to mark wing-tip clearance zones.
• Mining & Quarries: In zones populated by massive dump trucks and earthmovers, small cones are invisible. The 1-meter height is essential for operator awareness.
• Emergency Response: Police and Fire departments use them to block multiple lanes quickly during major accidents.

Superior Night-Time Performance
Safety hazards don’t sleep. To ensure 24-hour protection, this cone features dual high-intensity reflective sleeves.

• Double Banding: Unlike smaller cones with a single strip, the 1 Meter Traffic Cone typically features a wide reflective collar configuration. This provides a larger surface area of reflectivity, catching headlights from hundreds of meters away and creating a “tower of light” effect that is impossible to miss.

Cost-Benefit Analysis
While a 5 KG Safety Cone costs more than a standard model, it is an investment in liability reduction.

• Fewer Replacements: It doesn’t blow away or crack easily.
• Reduced Accidents: Better visibility means fewer vehicles entering your work zone.
• Labor Savings: Your crew spends less time patrolling the line to stand cones back up.

Conclusion
For projects where safety cannot be compromised, upgrade to the 1 Meter Traffic Cone. Its combination of extreme height, massive weight, and anti-roll stability makes it the ultimate guardian of your road crews.
