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?
Type 3 Barricades What’s the Difference?
If one was searching for type 3 barricades they may wonder, what is the difference between these traffic barricades? For example there are type 1 barricades, type 2 barricades and then type 3. There are a couple difference but there is one that is the most obvious.
A type 3 barricade has 3 boards across it, a type 2 has two boards and a type 1 has one board. Type 3 are usually wider than type 1 or two. I also notice that type 3 is commonly used to block off roads.
Type 3 Barricade Problems or Issues
If you have a type 3 barricade that isn’t working, you have a few options on how to get it fixed. Of course it depends on who you got if from and who they got it from (assuming you got it from a distributor). If you got the traffic barricade and it was broken right when you received it, you can usually get this replaced no questions asked.
If you have used the barricade for a little while and then started having issues, the typical way a seller handles it is they take it back to see if the issue was caused by wear and tear. I would suggest first calling the distributor and then second calling the manufacturer.
What Adds up with a Type 3 Barricade
There are options that are added to a type 3 barricade which can really rack up the price. One good example is reflective tape. You can add up to $50 just by switching from EG sheeting to DG sheeting.
If you want a barricade light on top of the barricade, you are looking at a price increase from $20-$90, depending on the light. Another expense is the base, with options ranging from 3lbs to 40 lbs.
Type 3 Barricades Give Safety
It’s important to know that those type 3 barricades you see on the side of the road are actually there for your safety. Because we see so many of them during the construction season, we most likely get tired of anything orange and with reflective tape. But the truth is, all of those traffic safety products are very important.
Imagine a world without traffic barricades. We wouldn’t know what was and was not construction, we would probably end up going onto roads that are closed and have dead ends. In other words, we would probably be in a lot of trouble. Think of this next time you sigh at the site of a type 3 barricade.
