tree cutting signs

[_tc]

Hi all, i was borrowing 2 tree cutting signs from a friend but have managed to lose one in between the job and my house.( a 1 mile stretch). either someone has taken just one out of the back of my truck or its bounced out.

 

Anyway, can you tell me where you guys get yours from so i can replace this one asap?

By far the best signs I've used are the plastic ones that utilise a road cone. So light, you can hold the usual chapter 8 stuff in one hand. They dont break, blow over or bite your hands off. It doesn't take two people to put them out, great kit! I'v never heard of anyone buying road cones, like ever!

There are different makes of sign on the market, we keep them in stock if you want to get the same one to match put up a photo of the other one and I'll price it for you.

I've just spent an hour on google trying to find out weather the cone signs are legal, with reference to the height from the ground. Do you or anyone know if they comply to the correct regs.

If they do I think I will start to stock them.

 

Oh and buy the way we sell loads of cones mainly to councils who always seem to run out of them, funny that:sneaky2:

I have no idea. other than size, it didn't occur to me that there was a Reg on the distance from ground. Makes sense I guess. because they use two straps to sit on the cone, the size of the cone i.e. the taper of the cone would affect the height. It would be very cool if the specific cone size for any given speed of carriageway lifted the sign to the right height.

 

It would be interesting to study the life cycle of a road cone. From manufacturer right through the various `owners' right up until it's eventual demise under the wheels of a gravel lorry, or as the last grains of sand trickle away along the A13 on the way back from some unimportant roadside job for it's final owner.

I feel quite tearful.

I've a collection of signs, I managed to find the opposite road narrows last week so have my chapter 8 covered in most normal situations. I have NEVER nicked any, all have been found abandoned, most in need of repair. As its an offence to leave signs out, I'm doing service collecting them!

We sometimes use the signs that tie onto 1000mm cones and never had any probs with any people in authority.

What is critical working at the side of a road is the distance between signs.
