Types of traffic cones
- Standard plastic cones: roto moulded LLDPE or polyethylene cones in red with white reflective bands, with a round, square or hexagonal base.
- Rubber and heavy base cones: a heavy black rubber base keeps the cone standing in wind and in the draught of passing vehicles. Base weights in the range run from about 1.2 kg up to 9.5 kg.
- Flexible cones: bend when a vehicle runs over them and stand back up.
- Display cones: taller cones with a sign board or sign face for messages such as no parking.
- Air cones and green cones: a vented air cone and a green cone for special uses.
- Cone accessories: red and white plastic chain sold per metre, S hooks, a retractable topper belt, and message plates that fit on top of a cone.
How to choose a traffic cone
- Height: 500 mm cones suit indoor and parking use. 750 mm is the common size for roads, sites and parking. 1000 mm cones are easier to see on highways and fast roads.
- Base: pick a rubber or heavy base for outdoor roads and windy sites, and a light base for indoor and short-term use.
- Night use: reflective collars or sleeves make the cone visible in headlights.
- Sets: ready sets of 2 to 10 cones with chain and hooks are a quick way to close a lane, a parking bay or a loading area.

Using traffic cones on site
Place the first cone well before the hazard so drivers have time to slow down, then set the rest in a taper to guide traffic past the work area. Keep cones clean so the reflective collars stay bright, and stack them when not in use.
The price of a traffic cone depends on its height, base weight, material, reflective collar and the pack size. Each product on this page shows a starting price as a guide, before GST. The final price comes with your quote and depends on the options and quantity. For large orders, ask for bulk pricing.
