460mm 1-piece traffic cone, the value cone in the range
The 460mm 1-Piece Traffic Road Cone is the budget option in the Melba Swintex cone range, made in the UK. It is moulded from a single piece of recycled PVC, with a naturally black base and a painted orange top, and stands 460mm tall. Most of the weight sits low in the base, giving a low centre of gravity that helps the cone stay upright in wind. It is Chapter 8 compliant and Kitemarked, so it suits public roads as well as private sites.

Where it is used
The 460mm cone is a compact, everyday marker for lighter traffic management and general site use: road works and lane marking, construction and utilities sites, car parks and access control, schools, events and sporting venues, and retail and leisure.
Why choose the 1-piece cone?
The 1-piece cone gets its name from being moulded in a single piece of PVC, rather than a separate cone and base. It is the budget choice in the range and still carries the Kitemark and Chapter 8 conformity, so it gives strong value for high-volume or short-term jobs where you need a lot of cones at a sensible price.
Reflective sleeve and compliance
The cone is fitted with a Starlux D2 prismatic sleeve to R1B standard, glued on at the factory for reflectivity in all weathers. It conforms to BS EN 13422:2019, Chapter 8, The Red Book 2013 and the TSRGD, and carries the Kitemark, making it suitable for public road and private applications.
Handling and storage
At around 2kg the cone is an easy single-person lift, and the moulded top handle makes it simple to carry several at once or to rig cone chains and tape. Cones stack for transport and can be stored several high to save space between jobs. The cones are supplied 500 to a pallet for bulk and framework orders.
