Feature Sand Base Cone Advantages - Greater stability due to the weight of the sand-filled base. Stability - Less likely to be easily swayed by wind or pushed by road users. - Resistant to cracking and breaking. Durability - Suitable for long-term outdoor use. Traffic Cone (Weighted Base) - Weighted base provides increased stability against wind and external forces. - Less susceptible to tipping over due to the weighted base. - Durable material with good resistance to impact. - Can withstand exposure to UV radiation without degradation. - Typically easier to transport and handle due to the absence of sand filling. - Bright color improves visibility for traffic management. - Easy to clean and maintain. Flexibility - Can be easily relocated or repositioned. Visibility - High-visibility color ensures visibility in various conditions. - Minimal maintenance required. Disadvantages - Lighter weight may result in less - Heavier weight may make stability in windy conditions. transportation and handling more difficult. - May require more effort to relocate due to the weight of the base. - Simple installation without the need - Requires less time and effort for for filling or sealing. installation compared to sand base cones. - Generally more affordable upfront. - Higher initial cost due to materials and weighted base. - Potential savings in the long run due to durability. - Sand filling may cause - Minimal environmental impact environmental concerns if spilled. compared to sand base cones.
