BSI Kitemarked with sleeve conforming to BS EN 13422. Manufactured from 100% Ultra grade recycled material and fully recyclable at end of life. The one-piece flexible body absorbs vehicle and plant impact without cracking, and the absence of a separate base eliminates the base loss and separation that take two-piece cones out of service on busy highway sites. Directly interchangeable with two-piece 750mm cones in a Chapter 8 layout. Available individually and in bulk packs of 100 and 200.
On a live carriageway, cones are struck by passing vehicles repeatedly throughout a deployment. A two-piece cone struck hard enough to separate the top from the base produces two components on the carriageway, a standing risk for following vehicles and a recovery task for operatives on a live road. A one-piece cone struck at the same force deforms through its flexible body and recovers, remaining as a single standing unit on the carriageway. The elimination of the base separation failure mode is a practical operational advantage on busy single carriageway and dual carriageway schemes where vehicle strikes are a daily occurrence rather than an exception. Combined with the 4kg weight and 385mm base depth, the one-piece body provides the stability required for Chapter 8 deployments without the assembly and component management of a two-piece system.
750mm Chapter 8 compliant height: The correct cone height for single carriageway roads up to 50mph and dual carriageways up to 40mph under Chapter 8 of the Traffic Signs Manual. Directly interchangeable with two-piece 750mm cones in an existing Chapter 8 layout without affecting compliance.
One-piece flexible construction: Engineered to flex on vehicle and plant impact rather than crack or shatter. Eliminates the base separation failure mode of two-piece cones, keeping a single standing unit on the carriageway after a vehicle strike rather than two separate components.
BSI Kitemarked: Independently assessed and certified. Sleeve conforms to BS EN 13422. Meets local authority and Highways England framework contract requirements where self-declared conformance is not accepted.
100% Ultra grade recycled material: The entire cone body is manufactured from 100% Ultra grade recycled material and is fully recyclable at end of life. Relevant for contractors operating under ISO 14001, BREEAM, or net zero procurement frameworks where recycled content in site consumables is a specified requirement.
No separate base: One-piece construction eliminates base loss, base separation, and independent base damage. On high-turnover highway schemes where cones are deployed and recovered daily, removing the base management task simplifies operations and reduces the risk of incomplete cone units being deployed.
4kg weight with 385mm base depth: Heavier and wider at the base than the 450mm one-piece variant, providing the stability required for Chapter 8 highway deployments at speeds up to 50mph on single carriageway roads.
Custom base colours, sleeves, and embossing available: Custom options available on request subject to minimum order quantities, including corporate branding and fleet identification.

This one-piece orange road traffic cone is used by traffic management contractors, highway maintenance operatives, utilities contractors, and civil engineers who need a BSI Kitemarked 750mm cone for Chapter 8 highway works on single carriageway roads up to 50mph and dual carriageways up to 40mph, without the component management and base separation risk of a two-piece system. It suits procurement teams running large cone inventories on Chapter 8 schemes who want the compliance of a certified 750mm cone combined with the operational simplicity and impact resilience of one-piece construction. The 100% recycled material makes it a practical choice for contractors with ISO 14001, BREEAM, or net zero procurement requirements.
Chapter 8 lane closure and taper layouts on single carriageway A-roads up to 50mph where a 750mm cone height is required under the Traffic Signs Manual.
Dual carriageway works up to 40mph where the 750mm height meets the Chapter 8 minimum requirement for the road type and posted speed limit.
Utility street works on A-roads and single carriageway routes for gas, water, telecoms, and electricity maintenance where the 750mm height is specified in the traffic management plan.
Construction site traffic management on sites adjacent to or accessing single carriageway roads where contractor vehicle movements cross or run alongside a live carriageway.
Mixed fleet deployments where one-piece 750mm cones are used alongside two-piece 750mm variants in the same Chapter 8 layout without height or compliance discrepancy.
High-turnover highway maintenance schemes where vehicle strikes are a daily occurrence and impact resilience directly reduces cone replacement frequency and cost.
Local authority highway maintenance operations where large cone fleet procurement at a cost-effective price point is a primary purchasing criterion.
Step 1: Check the reflective sleeve is correctly seated on the cone body before deployment. On a one-piece cone, the sleeve seats directly on the body, confirm it is flat and fully engaged with no lift or displacement at the edges.
Step 2: Place cones at the spacings required by your approved traffic management plan, consistent with Chapter 8 Table A1.3 for the road type and posted speed limit.
Step 3: Confirm the 750mm cone is the correct height for the road being worked on. On roads with a speed limit of 60mph or above, use the 1000mm cone. On roads up to 50mph on single carriageway and up to 40mph on dual carriageway, the 750mm meets the Chapter 8 height requirement.
Step 4: Before night-time or low-visibility deployment, confirm the sleeve is clean. Mud or debris on the sleeve surface reduces retroreflective performance at approach speed.
Step 5: After each deployment, inspect cones recovered from the carriageway for visible deformation, sleeve displacement, or structural damage before returning them to service.
Step 6: Stack cones for transport and storage. The one-piece construction stacks without base separation. Store away from prolonged direct UV exposure when not in active use.
Using the 750mm one-piece cone on 60mph or above roads: The Traffic Signs Manual requires a minimum 1000mm cone height on 60mph roads and motorway approaches. The 750mm one-piece cone does not meet this requirement regardless of its certification status.
Assuming one-piece means indestructible: Engineered flexibility extends service life by reducing cracking on impact, but repeated heavy vehicle strikes, sustained compression under plant, or prolonged UV degradation will eventually cause visible structural damage. Inspect before each redeployment.
Deploying with a fouled or displaced sleeve: After recovery from a live carriageway, sleeves may be displaced by vehicle contact. Check sleeve seating before returning cones to service.
Mixing up one-piece and two-piece cones when ordering replacement sleeves: The one-piece 750mm cone uses a different sleeve fitting to the two-piece 750mm. Replacement sleeves for the RS1RC750 must be specified for one-piece construction , two-piece sleeves are not interchangeable.
Deploying cones with visible body deformation: A cone that has been deformed beyond its recovery range and cannot stand upright is not fit for service. Remove from the fleet and replace rather than deploying a cone that does not meet the height requirement.
Deploy in accordance with Chapter 8 of the Traffic Signs Manual and the Traffic Signs Regulations and General Directions. On single carriageway and dual carriageway highway works, a site-specific traffic management plan approved by the relevant highways authority is required before deployment. CDM 2015 places duties on principal contractors to plan and manage traffic routes. Operatives placing or recovering cones on live carriageways must wear EN ISO 20471 Class 3 high-visibility clothing as a minimum. Do not use road traffic cones as a substitute for certificated vehicle restraint systems or pedestrian barriers where those are specified in the traffic management plan.
Check the reflective sleeve for displacement, tears, or contamination before each deployment. Wipe the sleeve with a damp cloth if contaminated with mud or road debris. Inspect the cone body for visible deformation, cracks, or tears after recovery from a live carriageway. Remove from service any cone that cannot stand upright or shows visible structural damage. The 100% recycled material construction is fully recyclable at end of life. Store away from prolonged direct UV exposure and extreme heat sources when not in active use.
Q: Is this cone Chapter 8 compliant for use on single carriageway A-roads?
A: Yes. The 750mm height meets the Chapter 8 minimum requirement for single carriageway roads up to 50mph and dual carriageways up to 40mph under the Traffic Signs Manual. The cone is BSI Kitemarked with sleeve conforming to BS EN 13422, meeting the certification requirements of local authority and Highways England framework contracts where self-declared conformance is not accepted. On roads with a speed limit of 60mph or above, the 1000mm cone is required.
Q: What is the practical difference between this one-piece cone and the two-piece 750mm cone?
A: Both are BSI Kitemarked 750mm cones that meet Chapter 8 requirements and are directly interchangeable at height in a layout. The key differences are construction and component management. The two-piece cone has a separate base that can be replaced independently when damaged, but which can also separate from the top when struck, producing two components on the carriageway. The one-piece cone has no separate base — it is a single unit that flexes on impact rather than separating. On high-turnover highway schemes where vehicle strikes are frequent, the one-piece construction eliminates the base separation failure mode entirely. The two-piece pocketed prismatic sleeve also provides greater retroreflectivity than the standard reflective sleeve on this one-piece cone, which is a relevant consideration for overnight and high-speed deployments.
Q: Can I mix this cone with two-piece 750mm cones in the same Chapter 8 layout?
A: Yes. Both are 750mm height and BSI Kitemarked to BS EN 13422, making them directly interchangeable at height in a Chapter 8 layout. The visual appearance differs slightly between one-piece and two-piece construction, but both meet the compliance requirement for the 750mm height category. Mixing in the same layout does not affect the compliance of the deployment.
Q: What is this cone NOT suitable for?
A: This cone is not suitable for roads with a speed limit of 60mph or above — use the 1000mm cone on those roads. It is not suitable as a substitute for certificated vehicle restraint systems or pedestrian barriers where those are specified in a traffic management plan. Accessories from the two-piece RS2RC series, including bases and pocketed prismatic sleeves, are not interchangeable with this one-piece cone.
Q: Why does the recycled material matter for procurement?
A: For contractors operating under ISO 14001 environmental management systems, BREEAM-rated projects, or net zero procurement commitments, recycled content in site consumables is an increasingly scored criterion. The entire cone body is manufactured from 100% Ultra grade recycled material and is fully recyclable at end of life, providing a verifiable recycled content claim for procurement documentation, sustainability reports, and environmental management plan submissions. For large cone fleet procurement across multiple Chapter 8 schemes, the aggregate recycled content can be a meaningful contribution to a contractor's reported sustainability metrics.
Q: How does this cone compare with the 450mm one-piece version?
A: The 750mm one-piece cone is the larger, heavier version for Chapter 8 highway works on single carriageway and dual carriageway roads. At 4kg with a 385mm base depth, it has significantly greater stability than the 450mm version at 2.20kg and 290mm depth. The 450mm cone is suited to lower-speed environments including construction site demarcation, car parks, and facilities management applications. The 750mm is the correct specification for public highway works and higher-speed site environments where the Chapter 8 height requirement applies.
Q: How quickly can I get these cones delivered to a highway works site?
A: Order by 7pm for next-day delivery to UK mainland sites. CMT Group operates its own fleet covering over 95% of the UK mainland with live order tracking, real-time ETAs, and What3Words integration for delivery to a specific site entrance or traffic management compound.
