The traffic control cone in orange and white for marking and securing your zones

Sometimes called a construction cone, safety cone or Lübeck cone, this traffic control cone is a conical plastic device in orange-red and white, designed to delimit marking zones and secure construction sites. Its tall, highly visible silhouette immediately attracts attention and signals an obstacle, a hazard, or a perimeter not to be crossed. Particularly well-ballasted, it stays firmly in place and resists both wind and repeated passage of people and vehicles.

What is this cone used for

A versatile signalling tool, the traffic control cone can be used both outdoors and indoors to make a zone instantly identifiable. It allows you to restrict access, mark a wet floor, protect a parking space, define a traffic lane, or secure the perimeter of a construction site. Its vivid orange colour combined with white bands ensures excellent visibility by day and at dusk, warning and directing at a glance.

• Delimitation and marking of work zones
• Securing spaces open to the public
• Temporary signalling of a hazard or obstacle
• Occasional management of traffic flow and parking
• Marking of an assembly point or restricted zone

Compatible with a retractable belt unit

The top of the cone is specially designed to receive a belt retractor unit. By clipping a cassette onto the top, you transform a simple cone into the starting point of continuous barrier marking: simply extend the belt from one cone to the next to create a mobile, flexible and reconfigurable barrier in seconds. This solution is ideal for closing off an outdoor access point, organising a temporary pedestrian route, channelling foot traffic, or guiding visitors at an event. You combine the high visibility of the cone with the flexibility of a retractable belt. The belt retractor unit is not included and must be ordered separately.

A ballasted and stable base

The cone is particularly well-ballasted to remain in place even when bearing the tension of a belt or exposed to adverse weather conditions. Its wide base distributes the weight towards the ground and significantly reduces the risk of tipping: you get a reliable anchor point that will not shift in the slightest breeze or at the first brush of contact. This stability makes it an ideal complement to your outdoor guiding systems, where a standard post on a floor plate would be less suited to the surface or terrain constraints.

Durable and reusable

Made from plastic, this cone withstands impacts, moisture, and sunlight without deforming or fading quickly. It can be cleaned with a simple wipe or a jet of water, stacks easily for compact storage, and is ready for use whenever needed. Light to handle yet heavy once placed thanks to its ballast, it provides lasting support for field teams, whether for occasional use or repeated daily marking. An accessory designed to last and serve season after season.

Applications and use cases

The traffic control cone is at home on building and roadwork sites, but also outside shops, car parks, warehouses, industrial facilities, and at outdoor events. On its own, it signals and delimits effectively; paired with a belt retractor, it becomes a fully mobile guiding barrier that can be set up and relocated without any tools. It is a simple, robust, and cost-effective accessory for securing, marking, and organising your spaces independently, adapting to your needs as they arise.

In the UK and international B2B market, this type of traffic control cone is widely used by facilities management teams, event organisers, warehouse operators, and retail chains. With a height of 75 cm and a base diameter of 40 cm, it is particularly well-suited for indoor environments such as shopping centres, hotels, exhibition halls, and convention centres where a compact yet highly visible safety solution is required. The 5.7 kg ballasted base provides the stability needed in busy pedestrian zones without the need for additional anchoring.
