Engineered for safer roadwork and parking environments, this self-righting traffic cylinder is built to withstand the challenges of high-traffic zones. Its flexible LDPE construction allows it to bend on impact and instantly return upright, ensuring continuous visibility and minimal maintenance.
The cylinder features microprismatic retro-reflective sheeting for enhanced visibility, even in low-light conditions. It fixes securely to the ground and acts as both a physical and visual deterrent—ideal for defining lanes, separating vehicle paths, and marking pedestrian routes in line with the latest American traffic safety protocols.
- Self-righting design ensures immediate recovery after impact for uninterrupted site safety.
- Durable and flexible LDPE body reduces risk of vehicle damage.
- Retro-reflective sheeting improves visibility in nighttime or poor weather conditions.
- Base is ground-fixable for a stable and secure installation on all surface types.
- Lightweight and easy to transport, ideal for fast deployment in dynamic environments.
Modern traffic management requires equipment that is both highly visible and impact-tolerant. The HERMEQ Flexi Cylinder answers this demand by offering a low-maintenance, self-righting traffic barrier solution that doesn’t compromise on safety. Whether used in parking lots, public roads or high-risk work zones, its adaptive form helps protect people, vehicles and infrastructure.
Unlike rigid alternatives, this traffic cylinder is constructed from a flexible LDPE blend that absorbs force and prevents damage to vehicles during minor collisions. The post is equipped with high-grade microprismatic reflective sheeting, maximizing visual warnings for approaching drivers and supporting compliance with US traffic regulations.
Installation is fast and secure via a ground-fixing base. Whether for short-term detours or permanent delineation, the cylinder remains fixed even in adverse weather, yet lightweight enough for efficient transport. This makes it a valuable asset for highway contractors, traffic control providers and event operators alike.
Compliance with MUTCD and NCHRP 350 safety guidelines ensures operational reliability. In environments requiring modular, reactive infrastructure, this flexible traffic cylinder enhances safety planning without increasing logistical complexity.

This traffic cylinder is a flexible safety solution that serves multiple functions across urban and industrial traffic control applications. Its core advantage lies in its ability to spring back after impact, ensuring minimal disruption and visual consistency throughout the day.
Constructed from lightweight, yet durable LDPE, the cylinder offers impressive longevity even under regular physical contact from cars or site equipment. It does not shatter or deform like brittle plastics, and the prismatic reflective sheeting maximizes nighttime and low-light visibility.
Use Cases:
- Vehicle separation in urban and commercial parking lots.
- Pedestrian delineation around temporary footways and crossings.
- Guiding traffic flow around bends or roundabouts in temporary work zones.
- Hazard marking near utility excavations and mobile work zones.
The base of the traffic cylinder is designed for secure anchoring to concrete, asphalt, or other stable surfaces. This prevents dislodgement in strong winds or after repeated impact. The adhesive pad beneath the base performs best between 41°F to 86°F and offers a 0.08 in thick bond for stability.
Adhesive Pad Specifications:
| Thickness | 0.08 in |
| Diameter | 10.2 in |
| Max Temperature | 86°F |
| Min Temperature | 41°F |
For companies operating under strict DOT guidelines and traffic safety protocols, this product meets American standards. Its standardized format and responsive design make it ideal for scalable, compliant traffic control systems.
