Product Specifications

Packing, weight, base design and warning light configuration can be confirmed according to the order specification.

Compact Folding Design

Unlike conventional traffic cones, this folding cone can be collapsed when it is not being used.

This makes a practical difference for customers who need to keep safety cones inside vehicles, service vans or emergency equipment boxes. When folded, it takes much less storage space than a standard rigid cone.

For distributors, the compact design also makes transportation and warehouse storage easier.

18-Inch / 45cm Traffic Cone

With a height of approximately 18 inches (45cm), this cone is mainly intended for portable and temporary warning applications.

It is a practical size for:

• Vehicle emergency kits

• Roadside breakdown situations

• Parking areas

• Maintenance vehicles

• Service vehicles

• Temporary warning points

• Private roads and facilities

For high-speed roadwork or applications where traffic cones need to be highly visible from a longer distance, a larger and heavier conventional traffic cone may be more appropriate.

300D Oxford Cloth Body

The cone body is made from 300D Oxford cloth.

Compared with a rigid PVC or PE cone, the fabric body can be folded and stored flat. This makes it particularly useful where portability and storage space are important.

The material can also be customized according to order requirements, subject to production feasibility.

Two Reflective Collars

Two reflective collars are positioned around the upper part of the cone.

The reflective bands help make the cone easier to notice when used at night or in low-light conditions. The actual reflective material and color can be confirmed according to the target market and product requirements.

PE Base

The PE base provides the cone with a stable footprint while keeping the overall product relatively light and easy to handle.

For different applications, customers can discuss base size, weight and other configuration requirements with us before ordering.

Optional Warning Light

A warning light can be added when additional visibility is required.

This configuration is useful for roadside emergency kits and service vehicles where the cone may need to attract attention from a greater distance.

The light type, power source and packaging can be discussed according to the customer's requirements.

What to Check When Buying Folding Traffic Cones

A folding traffic cone may look simple, but several details can affect its actual performance and service life.

1. Fabric Quality

Check the fabric thickness, stitching and overall finishing. Poor stitching can affect the durability of the cone after repeated folding.

2. Reflective Material

Check the width, adhesion and reflectivity of the collars. For night-time applications, reflective performance is more important than simply having reflective strips.

3. Base Stability

A compact cone still needs a suitable base for its intended application. If the product is mainly used outdoors, base size and weight should be considered.

4. Folding Mechanism

The cone should be easy to open and fold without damaging the fabric or reflective collars.

5. Packing Size

For importers and distributors, the folded size is an important part of the purchasing decision because it affects both container loading and warehouse space.

18-Inch Folding Traffic Cone for Importers and Distributors

Typical Applications

The 18-inch folding traffic cone is commonly used for:

• Vehicle Emergency Kits

• Roadside Breakdown Warning

• Service and Maintenance Vehicles

• Parking Areas

• Temporary Warning

• Facility Maintenance

• Roadside Safety Equipment

For applications involving high-speed traffic, local road safety requirements should be considered when selecting the cone height, weight and reflective configuration.

18-Inch Folding Cone vs. Conventional Traffic Cone

The right choice depends on where the cone will be used. For emergency kits and vehicle storage, the folding design offers a clear advantage. For long-term outdoor use or higher-speed traffic areas, a larger conventional cone may be a better option.
