Description

In the world of road safety, stability is everything. A cone that has blown into a ditch is useless; a cone that has blown into the middle of a traffic lane is dangerous. For high-speed environments where wind gusts and truck drafts are a constant challenge, standard cones simply aren’t enough. The PVC Traffic Cone (750mm) with Heavy Base is engineered specifically to solve this problem. Weighing in at a substantial 3.5 KG, this is the heavyweight champion of road markers, designed to stay exactly where you put it, regardless of the weather.

Engineered for Aerodynamic Stability
The secret to the performance of this High Wind Stability Cone lies in its weight distribution. Standard traffic cones often distribute weight evenly or use a lightweight plastic base. Our model uses a dual-component design:

• The Upper Body (1.2 KG): Made from flexible PVC, the top is light enough to minimize damage if a car hits it.
• The Weighted Base (2.3 KG): Over 65% of the cone’s total weight is concentrated at the very bottom.
This ultra-low center of gravity acts as an anchor. When a speeding semi-truck passes by, creating a powerful vacuum draft, standard cones wobble and tip. The 3.5 KG Traffic Cone, however, remains planted. This makes it the only viable choice for open highways, airport runways, and coastal construction sites where wind speeds are consistently high.

Premium PVC Construction: Flexible and Crash-Resistant
While the base is rigid and heavy, the body is soft and forgiving. We utilize high-quality Soft PVC for the cone section. This material offers superior resilience compared to hard plastics.

• Impact Recovery: If a vehicle accidentally runs over the cone, the PVC body collapses flat under the wheel. Once the vehicle passes, the cone springs back to its upright shape. This “self-righting” ability reduces the need for maintenance crews to constantly reset cones on busy roads.
• Crack Resistance: In cold winters or under heavy impact, hard plastic shatters. Our PVC Traffic Cone remains pliable, absorbing energy without breaking. This durability significantly extends the lifespan of your safety equipment inventory.

Maximum Visibility for High-Speed Traffic
On a highway, drivers need to see hazards from a long distance to react safely. Standing at 750mm (30 inches), this cone meets the height requirements for National Highways and major expressways.

• Fluorescent Brilliance: The bright red/orange pigment is UV-stabilized to prevent fading. It provides high contrast against the grey asphalt, ensuring the lane closure is visible during the day.
• Reflective Sleeves: The cone is fitted with high-intensity retro-reflective collars. These sleeves catch headlight beams from hundreds of meters away, creating a glowing visual barrier at night. This makes it an essential Highway Safety Cone for 24-hour construction zones and emergency diversions.

Ideal Applications
Due to its heavy weight and robust build, this cone is tailored for demanding environments:

• High-Speed Highways: Where the draft from trucks (60-80 km/h winds) knocks over lighter cones.
• Airports & Tarmacs: Where Foreign Object Debris (FOD) from blown-over cones can damage aircraft engines.
• Coastal Areas & Bridges: Locations subject to strong, sustained natural winds.
• Industrial Mining: Rough terrain where heavy equipment requires sturdy demarcation.

Why Upgrade to the Heavy Base Model?
Many contractors try to save money by buying standard 2kg cones, only to find they have to replace them frequently because they are lost to the wind or crushed by traffic. By investing in a 750mm Heavy Base Cone, you are investing in reliability. You reduce liability risk by ensuring your safety perimeter stays intact, and you save labor costs by reducing the need for workers to constantly patrol and reset the line.
