Restores Chapter 8 and BS EN 13422 retroreflectivity to worn, faded, or damaged cone sleeves on public highway, construction site, and utility works deployments. When a sleeve degrades or fails the Chapter 8 condition check, this sleeve replaces it in seconds. The cone body remains in use.
A 750mm cone is deployed primarily on public highways, single carriageway A-roads up to 50mph and dual carriageways up to 40mph under Chapter 8. At those approach speeds, retroreflective sleeve performance is a direct safety variable. A worn or faded sleeve reduces the cone's visibility at night and in wet conditions precisely when drivers need the most warning. Chapter 8 of the Traffic Signs Manual sets clear condition criteria for sleeves. A sleeve with large areas of missing or degraded retroreflective material is classified as unacceptable and takes the cone out of legal use on a public highway. Replacing the sleeve with a prismatic replacement restores the cone to the required standard and keeps it in active service without purchasing a full replacement unit.
Pocketed prismatic construction: Delivers superior retroreflectivity and daylight luminance compared to standard flat reflective sleeves. Cones remain clearly visible at approach speed in wet conditions and after dark on public highways and construction sites.
Maintains Chapter 8 and BS EN 13422 compliance: Replacing a worn sleeve with a prismatic replacement restores the retroreflective performance required for public highway use under Chapter 8. A cone with a failed sleeve is not compliant for highway deployment regardless of its certified cone body.
Fits any standard 750mm two-piece cone: Compatible with the CMT RS2RC750, RS2RC750BLU, RS2RC750YEL, RS2RC750GRN, RS2DOC750, and any other industry-standard 750mm two-piece cone body.
No tools required: Slides over the cone body from the apex for rapid fitting and removal during deployment and recovery.
Tear-resistant polymer: Manufactured for long-life outdoor performance on highway sites. Resists vehicle wash, wind, and routine site handling without splitting or degrading prematurely.
Cost-effective fleet maintenance: Sleeve replacement extends the working life of the cone body and reduces whole-fleet replacement cost on large highway and utility cone inventories.

Traffic management contractors, highway maintenance operatives, utilities contractors, and site managers who need to replace worn, faded, or damaged sleeves on existing 750mm cone fleets deployed on public highways, construction sites, and utility street works. Also suited to plant and tool hire companies who maintain large cone inventories and replace sleeves on a scheduled basis to keep fleets in Chapter 8 compliant condition.
Replacing a worn or faded sleeve on a 750mm highway cone to restore retroreflective performance before redeployment on a public carriageway.
Restoring a cone that has failed the Chapter 8 sleeve condition check to an acceptable retroreflective standard for continued use on A-roads and dual carriageways.
Holding replacement sleeve stock in the traffic management compound for immediate cone maintenance on live highway schemes without waiting on a full cone delivery.
Scheduled sleeve replacement across a large 750mm cone fleet at the start of a new highway maintenance season to ensure consistent retroreflective performance across all units.
Converting a standard 750mm cone with a standard flat reflective sleeve to a higher-specification prismatic sleeve for overnight and low-visibility highway deployments.
Step 1: Confirm the cone is a standard 750mm two-piece cone. This sleeve is designed for 750mm two-piece cone bodies. Compatibility with one-piece cones should be confirmed before ordering.
Step 2: Slide the sleeve over the apex of the cone body and press down firmly until it seats flat against the cone surface with no lift or gap at the edges.
Step 3: No tools or adhesive are required for standard use. If permanent fixing is needed, a cone sleeve adhesive spray is available separately.
Step 4: Before deployment on a public highway, confirm the sleeve is seated correctly and the full reflective surface is visible and unobscured from all approach angles.
Fitting to the wrong cone size: This sleeve is for 750mm cones only. It will not seat correctly on 450mm or 1000mm cone bodies.
Redeploying without checking sleeve seating: A sleeve that has shifted during transport or recovery must be reseated before the cone goes back onto a live carriageway. An unseated sleeve reduces retroreflective coverage and may fall from the cone in service.
Continuing to use a marginal sleeve on a highway deployment: Chapter 8 guidance identifies acceptable, marginal, and unacceptable sleeve conditions. On a public highway at approach speeds of 40 to 50mph, a marginal sleeve should be replaced at the next maintenance interval rather than continuing in service.
Assuming sleeve replacement alone restores full Chapter 8 compliance: Replacing the sleeve restores retroreflective performance. Compliance of the complete cone also depends on the cone body meeting the dimensional and structural requirements of BS EN 13422.
A 750mm cone with a degraded or missing sleeve does not meet the retroreflectivity requirements of BS EN 13422 and must not be deployed on a public highway under Chapter 8. Inspect all cones before each deployment. Replace sleeves promptly when condition falls below the acceptable standard defined in Chapter 8 of the Traffic Signs Manual. On live carriageways, operatives fitting or removing sleeves must wear EN ISO 20471 Class 3 high-visibility clothing.
Store replacement sleeves flat or rolled in a dry location away from direct UV exposure and extreme heat. Inspect the sleeve surface before fitting for tears, punctures, or manufacturing defects. Clean deployed sleeves with a damp cloth to remove mud, road debris, or asphalt splatter. Do not use abrasive cleaners or solvents on the reflective surface. Replace when retroreflective performance is visibly reduced or the sleeve fails the Chapter 8 condition assessment.
Q: Will this sleeve fit any 750mm cone?
A: This sleeve fits any industry-standard 750mm two-piece traffic cone body, including all CMT 750mm two-piece variants (RS2RC750, RS2RC750YEL, RS2RC750BLU, RS2RC750GRN, RS2DOC750). Compatibility with one-piece 750mm cones should be confirmed before ordering. It is not compatible with 450mm or 1000mm cones.
Q: Does replacing the sleeve maintain Chapter 8 compliance for highway use?
A: Replacing a worn sleeve with a prismatic replacement restores the retroreflective performance of the cone to meet Chapter 8 requirements. Full compliance of the complete cone also depends on the cone body meeting the dimensional and structural requirements of BS EN 13422. A sleeve replacement on a cone body that is cracked, deformed, or otherwise non-compliant does not restore Chapter 8 compliance.
Q: When does a 750mm highway cone sleeve need replacing?
A: Chapter 8 guidance defines three sleeve conditions. An acceptable sleeve has a clean surface with only minor tears or scratches. A marginal sleeve has some abrasion, discolouration, and tears but no large areas of missing material. An unacceptable sleeve has large areas of missing or stained retroreflective material, punctures, or significant asphalt splatter and must be replaced before the cone is redeployed on a public highway.
Q: Is the cone included?
A: No. This product is the sleeve only. For a complete 750mm cone, see the CMT RS2RC750 two-piece orange range or the RS1RC750 one-piece option.
Q: What is the difference between this sleeve and the 450mm version?
A: Both are white pocketed prismatic sleeves of the same construction. The 750mm sleeve is sized for 750mm two-piece cone bodies used on public highways under Chapter 8. The 450mm sleeve fits 450mm cones used in lower-speed environments including car parks, construction site demarcation, and facilities management. The two sizes are not interchangeable.
Q: What is this sleeve NOT suitable for?
A: This sleeve is not suitable for 450mm or 1000mm cone bodies. It must not be used to bring a structurally damaged or non-compliant cone body back into highway service. It does not replace the requirement for a compliant cone body meeting BS EN 13422.
Q: How quickly can I get replacement sleeves 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 precise delivery to a specific site entrance or traffic management compound.
