The Slim 28" Traffic Cone is built for demanding roadway environments — construction zones, lane closures, highway shoulders, and work zone perimeters. Constructed from UV-resistant, high-impact materials, it withstands harsh outdoor conditions while maintaining long-term visibility.
This cone features high-intensity reflective sheeting to meet MUTCD visibility standards. At 10 lbs, it delivers the stability needed for high-speed corridors, active work zones, and DOT-compliant traffic control setups.
Its stackable body, anti-skid base, and recessed collar area make deployment fast and reliable while reducing wear on reflective bands.
Features:
Recessed collar area prevents sticking and protects reflective sheeting.
Stackable and easy to transport for rapid zone setup and breakdown.
Engineered to meet MUTCD standards for roadway traffic control.
Sturdy 10-lb design for enhanced stability in high-traffic and high-speed environments.
High-visibility reflective bands for enhanced day and night performance.
Base is molded to the cone body to prevent separation under vehicle turbulence.
UV-stable, impact-resistant construction for long service life in open road conditions.
100% recyclable materials.

How much does the 28" Slim Performance Cone weigh?
The 28" Slim Performance Cone weighs 10 lbs, with the weight concentrated in a molded black base. The 10 lb base is the better choice where wind, passing vehicles or heavy foot traffic would knock over a lighter cone.
What is the 28" Slim Performance Cone made of?
The cone body is PVC plastic and the base is recycled PVC and rubber. The materials are UV-stable and impact-resistant for extended outdoor use, and the cone is 100% recyclable at end of life. The base is molded directly to the body rather than attached, so the two will not separate.
Does the 28" Slim Performance Cone have reflective bands?
Yes. The cone carries two High Intensity Prismatic reflective bands, one 6" and one 4". The collar area is recessed so the bands sit below the surface of the cone body, which protects the sheeting from abrasion when cones are stacked, dragged or loaded.
Can these cones be stacked?
Yes. The slim profile is designed to nest, and the recessed collar area keeps stacked cones from sticking together, so a stack separates cleanly during setup. The same recess protects the reflective bands from wear, which is the usual failure point on stacked cones.
What is the difference between Performance and Premium traffic cones?
Performance cones use High Intensity reflective sheeting and an integrated hand grip, and are built for reliable use in hot and cold conditions. Premium cones step up to 3M reflective sheeting, are formulated for extreme temperature swings, and are listed on most state QPL and APL lists.
Will a 10 lb cone stay upright on a highway shoulder?
The 10 lb base is the heaviest option in this slim line and is intended for active work zones, shoulders and lane closures where lighter cones shift. Wind and vehicle turbulence vary widely by site and speed, so for sustained high-speed exposure, confirm the weight class your agency or DOT specification calls for.
What cone height is required for roadway work zones?
Required cone height depends on roadway type, speed and whether the work is daytime or nighttime, and it is set by the MUTCD edition your state has adopted. Confirm the requirement against your state DOT's current standard before specifying. This cone is 28" tall with High Intensity Prismatic reflective bands.
