Frequently asked questions
Common questions about TRAFFIX DEVICES/VIZCON from 3G Electric.
What is the difference between the Traffix Devices spring-loaded and springless sign stands?
Spring-loaded sign stands, such as SKU 890K89 (MPN 22300-USH), use a spring mechanism in the mast to absorb wind loads and provide flexibility. Springless models, like SKU 890K87 (MPN 22000-USH), have a rigid mast and rely on the stand's weight and leg design for stability. Both types are constructed of steel, feature four adjustable legs with a length range of 24-36 inches, and have a mast height range of 12-19 inches. They are compatible with 36 in x 36 in roll-up signs, and the springless model also supports 48 in x 48 in signs via a Screwlock-Spin Handle connection. The springless stand is NCHRP-350 compliant. Selection depends on wind conditions, sign size, and whether a flexible or rigid mast is preferred.
Are Traffix Devices roll-up signs compliant with MUTCD standards?
Yes, Traffix Devices roll-up signs are designed to meet specific MUTCD standards. For example, the Road Closed sign (SKU 890K96, MPN 26048-EFO-HF-RCLA) meets MUTCD W20-3, the Road Work Ahead sign (SKU 890K92, MPN 26048-EFO-HF-RWA) meets W20-1, and the Utility Work Ahead sign (SKU 890K90, MPN 26048-EFO-HF-UWA) meets W21-7. These signs are made of 0.015 in polypropylene with a High-Intensity Prismatic retroreflective grade, ensuring visibility. They are orange and have a nominal size of 48 in x 48 in. Compliance with MUTCD ensures they are suitable for temporary traffic control zones in the United States and other jurisdictions that adopt these standards.
What is the weight and material of the Traffix Devices traffic cone base?
The Traffix Devices traffic cone base (SKU 890K84, MPN 42030-CRU) weighs 30 pounds and is made from recycled rubber. It features a slip-on design for use with standard traffic cones and delineator posts. The base measures 19 3/4 inches long by 2 1/2 inches high and is black. This weighted base enhances stability in work zones, reducing the likelihood of cones tipping over in windy conditions or from vehicle-induced air turbulence. It is commonly used in road work, construction, and maintenance applications where temporary traffic control is required.
Can the Traffix Devices sign stands be used with different sign sizes?
The compatibility of Traffix Devices sign stands depends on the model. The spring-loaded sign stand (SKU 890K89) is compatible with 36 in x 36 in roll-up signs. The springless sign stand (SKU 890K87) supports both 36 in x 36 in and 48 in x 48 in roll-up signs via a Screwlock-Spin Handle connection. The springless sign stand with weighted base (SKU 890K88) is also compatible with 36 in x 36 in and 48 in x 48 in roll-up signs and features a 22-inch mast height. Buyers should verify the specific sign size and attachment method when selecting a stand to ensure proper fit and stability.
What are the specifications of the Traffix Devices drum tongs for sand barrels?
The Traffix Devices drum tongs (SKU 404KC3, MPN 48001-LR) are designed for lifting and moving sand barrels and similar cylindrical containers. They provide a secure grip for handling during loading, unloading, and placement in industrial, construction, and maintenance operations.
