Channelizing Equipment We Rent

Traffic Drums

Orange plastic drums with reflective stripes are the workhorse of traffic control. They're highly visible day or night. Cars see them from far away. You can set them up fast and move them when needed. We use 42 inch tall drums that meet Florida and Georgia height requirements. Each drum has a weighted base so wind won't blow them over.

Drums work great for lane shifts, tapers, and guiding traffic through work zones. Put them close together for tight control or space them out for gentle curves. They're tough enough for highway speeds but light enough for workers to move by hand.

Type III Barricades

These are the big striped boards you see closing entire lanes or roads. Type III barricades have three reflective rails that cover more vertical space than drums. Drivers see them earlier and understand immediately that a road is closed or blocked. We use these for complete lane closures, protecting work crews on highways, and blocking intersections during road construction.

Our Type III barricades sit on heavy duty frames. They don't tip over easily. The reflective sheeting stays bright for years. These barricades handle high speed roads where visibility matters most.

Type II Barricades

Type II barricades have two reflective rails instead of three. They work well for partial closures, shoulder work, and directing traffic around smaller obstacles. You'll see these at utility repairs, sidewalk construction, and parking lot work. They're lighter than Type III so they're easier to move around during projects that shift locations.

Type I Barricades

Type I barricades are the smallest with just one reflective rail. These handle low speed situations like parking lots, driveways, and neighborhood streets. They're perfect for marking off work areas where traffic moves slowly. Easy to carry, quick to set up, and visible enough for slower speeds.
