Traffic Drum Queries
Have a query about a traffic drum? You can post the question below and I will get to it as soon as possible. It really is not as easy as one may expect when it comes to shopping for traffic drums.
Think about it, you first need to make sure it meets all state and federal specs depending on the job site. Then you have to worry about reflective sheeting and bases. And after you have all that figured out, you need to find the cheapest one.
Type 3 Barricades with Issues
If your type 3 barricades have issues, well you should get them resolved. Traffic barricades of that type tend to run around $100 or more, so they are a little expensive to just be looking at.
I would first contact your distributor if you are having a problem with your type 3 barricade. Then, I would talk to your supplier if the distributor doesn’t help you out.
Solar Barricade Lights – New Trend
A look at the stats on keyword usage on Google and other search engines and you will realize that solar is a hot new word. Now, there are not only solar barricade lights but there are also solar traffic lights, solar stop signs, solar arrow boards, etc. The list goes on and on.
With these solar products it is important to do research to find out how ‘green’ they actually are. Sometimes you will find that the processes that needs to take place to make these products is not as ‘green’ as the overall use of the entire original product.
Type 3 Barricade Concerns
Have concerns about a type 3 barricade you recently purchased? Well, I hope you didn’t get them online because that is a lot of money to ship them back! Just kidding, the supplier/distributor you got them from should be able to fund you for shipping them back.
It is always important to check with your traffic safety supplier to see what their particular rules are regarding returns. I mean lets face it, who wants to spend $100’s shipping something back when they don’t have to?
Traffic Drum Varieties
Did you know that traffic drums can come in black? Yes, believe it or not in colder environments where there is a lot of snow they use black drums because they are easier to see.
And, in case you didn’t know, there are yellow traffic drums as well. These are best when used for blockading cement barriers or protecting cars against exit ramps.
