Frequently asked questions

What is a black traffic cone used for?

Black cones are widely used by funeral directors to reserve parking and keep routes clear for processions, and anywhere a discreet cone is preferred - private sites, venues and events. It carries the same road-legal spec as the standard cone range.

Can I use it on public roads?

Yes. The cone is Kitemarked and meets BS EN 13422, Chapter 8 of the Traffic Signs Manual, the TSRGD and the Red Book 2013, so it is suitable for public road and private applications.

How visible is it at night?

The cone is fitted with a factory-glued Starlux D2 prismatic pocketed sleeve to the R1B standard, which reflects headlights from cars, bikes and HGVs in all weather conditions.

How heavy is it, and can one person move it?

Each cone weighs 3kg, with an easy-grip handle at the top. The cones stack, so one person can carry several at a time.

How many cones fit on a pallet?

We recommend a maximum of 300 cones on a single pallet for transport. For storage you can stack higher to save space.

Can I link cones together with chains?

Yes. Add cone chain holders and 2.5m plastic chains to form a linked run, or use the cones with warning and barrier tape.

Do you offer a taller black cone?

Yes, a 750mm black traffic cone is available for jobs that need extra height. Ask about trade-account pricing for bulk orders.
