Renting Equipment For The Right Job
Traffic control equipment is something that gets used more often than you may think. Whether you are looking for construction traffic barricades, a portable work zone in the form of a work truck with a lift gate, or something to ease traffic flow such as merging devices, the number of places you can get equipment for the job is increasing. Here is some useful traffic equipment information to help you get the solutions for your projects.
Traffic Barricades
Traffic barricades are used to block off areas of the road, protect pedestrians and vehicles from hazards, and ensure safety. Traffic barricades come in many forms, including cones, drums, and tubes. All traffic barricades have reflective strips so they can be easily seen at night and during bad weather conditions. There are also portable stands that can be placed along the edge of the road to create temporary barriers.
Traffic barriers are available in different styles to suit any application. The most common styles are:
- Cone Barricade: Cone-shaped barricade with reflective stripe on top and bottom of the cone facing both ways.
- Directional Barricade: Cones or drums that direct traffic flow by color or shape (red/yellow) or by arrows pointing one way or another (blue).
- Drum Barricade: Drum-shaped traffic barrier made from steel wire mesh with reflective striping on four sides of drum facing both ways for greater visibility at night or in bad weather conditions.
- Tube Barricade: Tube-shaped steel tube traffic barrier made from heavy-duty welded steel wire mesh with reflective striping on four sides for greater visibility at night.
These are the different types of traffic barricades that you might need for your projects.
Work Trucks
There are also various types of work trucks that you can rent for your traffic needs. These can be pilot trucks with lights or setups that have line painting equipment mounted to them. Ask your rental service about the different types of traffic trucks they have available to help you complete your project.
Merging Devices
Traffic merging devices are used to help control the flow of traffic. They're typically installed where two lanes merge into one or where two roads merge into one.
Traffic merging devices can be used to help drivers navigate these areas safely, but they also serve as a visual reminder that they need to slow down and change lanes. There are several different types of traffic merging devices that can be used in these situations.
