Stop Works Lollipop

Any one know where I can get these more cheaply. Best I have found is £105 for a fancy fold able one. Would rather something more solid!

I've been looking for ages! Most companies don't even recognise / stock it and I've had to give Red Book page number etc before they know what it is I want.

 

If you find a good source really appreciate a tip off or could do a combined order (I'm only looking for a pair though)

Get a local sign company to make the top bit out of whatever thickness of aluminium you want and then bolt it to a bit of steel pipe or even a good brush shaft.

 

Probably won't even work out that much, if any, dearer.

Mug a lollipop man!

FR Jones do the folding ones for £78, I thought they had the normal ones in too but I can't see them now.

 

I got mine special order from a road sign making company, no one lists them but anyone can make them. You may need to explain what you want about ten times though. Then if you put them in a method statement you will have to explain another ten times because no one seems to know what they are.

I got something similar made up by the lad who does our sign writing, only cost £50

Check out the streetworks 'red book' (2014 version) and you will see that this in no way meets the requirements.

 

You may as well just chalk 'Would you please be a sweetie and stop for the nice tree cutter' on a sandwich board.

I got stop go signs off the net, very strong build quality. Good price to but I don't remember where from.
