What is a traffic cone weight and why would I use one?

A cone weight is a flat, heavy ring that drops over the cone and rests on the base, adding pounds right at the bottom where they hold best. It keeps a cone standing when wind, foot traffic, or the gust off a passing truck would otherwise send it tumbling. This one is a JBC weight in black recycled PVC, about 15 inch by 15 inch, so it adds real hold down power without widening the footprint. Drop one on a standard cone and a breeze stops being a problem.

Should I get the 4.5 lb or the 7 lb?

Same weight, two strengths, and you pick by conditions. The 4.5 lb is the everyday choice for parking lots, event lanes, sidewalks, and moderate outdoor work. The 7 lb is the heavy duty pick for roadside zones and anywhere fast traffic blows past, where that extra ballast is the margin between a cone that stays put and one that skids into a live lane. If you are on the fence, go heavier.

Will it fit my cones?

It fits all 28 inch and 36 inch wide body standard cones, which covers the most common road and work zone sizes. It is not made for the smaller 12 inch or 18 inch cones, so for those a heavier molded cone or a bigger base is the better call. If you are not sure which size you have, measure the cone from tip to base before ordering.
