PSS Enhances FirstGard Foldable Traffic Cone

Source: PSS press release

Safety equipment provider PSS has announced an improvement to its FirstGard foldable traffic cone with the addition of a fill port that offers greater stability and performance for users in the field.

With the addition of the fill port, users can easily add dry sand to ballast the cone for extra stability in challenging weather or high-speed traffic conditions. Each of FirstGard’s three panels can hold up to 1.5 lbs. of sand for a combined 4.5 lbs. of additional weight.

Customer feedback led PSS to incorporate the option for increased stability for more extreme environments. PSS sent a prototype of the updated FirstGard to the Ann Arbor Township Fire Department for assessment last year and received feedback from Captain Lewis Kempf:

“We have more miles of expressway in our township than any other in the county, so we are using FirstGard in high-speed areas as well as open wind areas; adding about a quarter pound of sand to each panel makes the cones very stable. On windy days, a standard cone will blow over unless you double the rubber ones up, but adding the extra weight to FirstGard allows them to remain stable.”

The improved FirstGard foldable traffic cone is available now through PSS distributors and at pss-innovations.com. For more information, contact team@pss-innovations.com or call 800-662-6338
