shouldn&#8217;t take care of your equipment to make it last as long as possible. \u00a0Keeping them clean is the first step in helping to prolong the life, but here are some more specific tips:<\/p>\n<p>Plastic Products: When your plastic products (such as traffic cones, plastic traffic barricades etc) are stored, try to keep them out of direct sunlight. \u00a0This will help to stop the breakdown and fading of the PVC plastic and reflective sheeting. \u00a0Otherwise the sheeting will become brittle faster.<\/p>\n<p><a

wp-image-1039\" alt=\"pallets\" src=\"http:\/\/www.trans-supply.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2013\/09\/pallets.jpg\" width=\"240\" height=\"185\" \/><\/a>Wood Barricades: If your wood barricades are in shrink wrapped pallets keep them in a dry place. \u00a0This is because if the pallets end up getting wet and don&#8217;t have a chance to dry the dampness will turn to mold ruining the barricades. \u00a0If you are going to put them in storage, you must remove the shrink wrap.<\/p>\n<p>Stacking products: Most traffic safety products (besides delineators) are stack-able with or without the bases attached which saves a bunch of space. \u00a0However the weight of the bases can cause the products to get stuck together depending on a) the weight of the base and b) how long they have been store for.<\/p>\n<p>To see our full line of traffic safety products check out our website <a title=\"www.trans-supply.com\"
