Heavy Traffic Cone U-23 75cm Gen.3 Reflective Sleeve Base 50x50cm 4.1kg

Quick Facts – Heavy Traffic Cone U-23 75cm

• Model: Melba75
• Type: Heavy traffic cone U-23, roadworks
• Height: 750 mm
• Base Dimensions: 500 × 500 mm
• Weight: 4.1 kg
• Reflective Sleeve: Double, generation 3 (gen.3)
• Application: Motorways, expressways, lane-level roadworks. For professional use.

The Melba75 is a heavy traffic cone of type U-23 standing 750 mm tall with a large 500 × 500 mm base. The 4.1 kg weight and wide base provide the stability required for use on motorways, expressways and other high-speed roads where wind pressure from passing vehicles is significant. The heavy construction keeps the cone in position even in fast-moving heavy traffic without tipping.

The double generation 3 reflective sleeve delivers substantially better retroreflective performance than generation 1 film and returns headlight illumination at high intensity, improving cone visibility in darkness and reduced visibility conditions. Generation 3 film is used on equipment intended for high-speed roads and motorways where visibility requirements are highest.

The Melba75 is built for professional use at lane-level roadworks on national roads, motorways and busy urban roads across Europe. It combines high reflective quality with a base and weight that eliminate the need for ballasting or additional anchoring under normal wind conditions.

What is the Melba75 U-23 traffic cone and why should you choose it?

The Melba75 is a heavy traffic cone with 750 mm height, 500 × 500 mm base and 4.1 kg weight fitted with a double generation 3 reflective sleeve. The heavy base and weight make it suitable for motorways and expressways where lighter cones do not provide sufficient stability against wind pressure from passing vehicles. The generation 3 reflective sleeve meets the higher visibility requirements for traffic marking on high-speed roads with heavy traffic.

Which environments is the Melba75 traffic cone suited for?

The Melba75 suits roadworks on motorways, expressways, national roads and busy urban roads across Europe where the stability of lighter traffic cones is insufficient. It is used for delineation and lane guidance at carriageway works, surfacing, maintenance operations and emergency interventions in the roadway.

Technical Specifications

Suitable for: Road authorities, road construction companies, municipal maintenance units and civil engineering contractors carrying out lane-level roadworks on motorways, expressways and busy national roads.

Industries: Road and civil engineering, motorway maintenance, municipal operations and road safety.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Why is the Melba75 traffic cone suitable for motorways and expressways?

The Melba75 stands 750 mm tall, has a base of 500 × 500 mm and weighs 4.1 kg. The combination of large base and high weight provides the stability required to hold position under high wind speeds and air pressure surges from passing heavy vehicles on motorways and expressways — conditions where lighter cones with narrower bases tip over.

What does the double generation 3 reflective sleeve on the Melba75 mean and why is it better than generation 1?

The generation 3 reflective film on the Melba75 delivers substantially higher retroreflectivity than generation 1 film — it returns more headlight illumination back towards the driver at longer distances and in poorer weather conditions. The double sleeve increases the total reflective surface area on the cone's 750 mm body, further improving visibility. Generation 3 film is the standard for traffic equipment on high-speed roads across Europe.

How does the Melba75 heavy traffic cone U-23 differ from a soft PVC traffic cone at 500mm?

The Melba75 stands 750 mm tall and weighs 4.1 kg with a 500 × 500 mm base and double gen.3 reflective sleeve — designed for motorways and high-speed roads with heavy traffic. A soft PVC traffic cone at 500 mm is lighter, shorter and suited for roadworks at lower speeds, car parks and manoeuvring areas. The Melba75 does not recover from vehicle contact in the same way as a soft cone, but in return offers substantially greater stability and reflective quality.
