Rigid Reflective Traffic Cone – 18 Inch

This 18-inch rigid traffic cone marks temporary boundaries around parking bays and work areas. Choose the 18-inch option for close-range demarcation where storage space and handling are priorities.

Supply: One cone. Select the required quantity for the complete layout.

A rigid cone keeps a defined shape during normal handling. This format can be useful for a repeatable layout around reserved spaces, maintenance areas or an attended entrance. The reflective section provides contrast when illuminated, while the orange body helps distinguish the marker during daylight. Choose the height to suit the viewing position and surrounding obstructions, rather than relying on colour alone.

The supplier describes the body as hard PVC/HDPE. Check the actual material and base arrangement when matching an existing set, as these details can differ between production runs. Rigid plastic can crack after impact, so inspect the body and base before returning a used cone to service. Set it on a sound surface and reassess the layout if weather or passing traffic moves it.

Inspect the item before each deployment and after it has been moved or struck. Remove dirt that obscures the visible surface, and replace damaged parts rather than relying on a worn marker. When the temporary restriction ends, collect the equipment so it does not leave a misleading instruction behind.

For a longer temporary boundary, compare the available cone sizes and accessories with the other parking and traffic safety equipment needed for the area.

The wider fire and workplace safety range can help with the rest of a site equipment list. For planning background, see the HSE’s workplace transport guidance.
