Yellow prismatic replacement sleeve for 750mm two-piece traffic cones, carrying the Danger Overhead Cables warning and lightning bolt symbol for overhead electrical hazard identification on construction sites, utility works, and highway schemes. When a sleeve degrades, fades, or is damaged in service, only the sleeve needs replacing. The cone body remains in use.
How replacing the sleeve extends cone fleet life
A worn or faded overhead cables sleeve on an otherwise serviceable cone creates a compliance and visibility problem without a cone body failure. Replacing the entire cone to restore sleeve performance wastes a functional asset and adds unnecessary cost on large fleets. This sleeve slides directly onto any standard 750mm two-piece cone body, restoring full warning visibility and hazard communication without replacing the cone. On a fleet of 50 or 100 cones deployed on highway or utility works, replacing sleeves rather than complete units produces a direct and measurable reduction in per-cone operating cost across a season.
Key Features
-
Pocketed prismatic construction: Delivers greater retroreflectivity than standard flat reflective sleeves. Warning text and lightning bolt symbol remain legible at approach speed in wet conditions and after dark.
-
Edge-to-edge reflective coverage: Reflective area runs to the full edge of the sleeve, maximising visible warning area from every approach angle.
-
Fits any standard 750mm two-piece cone: Compatible with the CMT RS2DOC750, RS2RC750, and any other industry-standard 750mm two-piece cone body.
-
Fits over existing sleeves: Can be applied directly over most existing reflective sleeves without removing the original. No tools required.
-
Tear-resistant polymer: Manufactured for long-life outdoor performance. Resists wind, vehicle wash, and routine site handling.
-
Cost-effective fleet maintenance: Sleeve-only replacement extends the working life of the cone body and reduces whole-fleet replacement cost and material waste.

Who is this for
Traffic management contractors, utilities operatives, and highway maintenance teams who need to replace worn, faded, or damaged Danger Overhead Cables sleeves on existing 750mm cone fleets, or who want to convert a standard 750mm cone to an overhead cable hazard warning cone without purchasing a complete new unit.
Typical applications
-
Replacing a worn or faded sleeve on a 750mm Danger Overhead Cables cone to restore warning visibility before redeployment.
-
Converting a standard 750mm orange cone to an overhead cable hazard warning cone for a specific deployment where a DOC-marked cone is required.
-
Holding replacement sleeve stock on site to restore damaged cones immediately without waiting for a complete cone delivery.
-
Large cone fleet maintenance programmes where sleeves are replaced on a scheduled basis to maintain consistent retroreflective performance across the fleet.
How to use
Step 1: Confirm the cone is a standard 750mm two-piece cone. This sleeve does not fit one-piece cones or 1000mm cones.
Step 2: Slide the sleeve over the top of the cone body. No tools required. The sleeve can be applied over most existing reflective sleeves without removing them first.
Step 3: Press the sleeve down firmly to ensure it seats flat against the cone body with no lift or displacement at the edges.
Step 4: Before deployment, confirm the Danger Overhead Cables text and lightning bolt symbol are fully visible and unobscured from all approach angles.
Common mistakes
-
Fitting to a one-piece cone: This sleeve is designed for 750mm two-piece cone bodies only. It will not seat correctly on a one-piece cone.
-
Deploying with a displaced sleeve: If the sleeve has shifted or lifted during transport, the warning text may be obscured. Check seating before each deployment.
-
Using a faded or damaged sleeve: A sleeve that has lost retroreflective performance or has torn text does not communicate the hazard effectively. Inspect before each deployment and replace when degradation is visible.
Safety
The Danger Overhead Cables sleeve communicates the overhead electrical hazard and marks the exclusion zone boundary. It does not replace the safe system of work required under HSE guidance GS6 and the Electricity at Work Regulations 1989. A method statement, risk assessment, and permit to work are required for work near overhead power lines. The sleeve must be kept clean and legible at all times during deployment.
Maintenance
Wipe the sleeve surface with a damp cloth to remove mud, dust, or road debris before each deployment. Do not use abrasive cleaners or solvents. Replace when the text is permanently obscured, the symbol is damaged, or retroreflective performance is visibly reduced. Store away from direct UV exposure and extreme heat when not in active use.
Frequently Asked Questions
Q: Will this sleeve fit any 750mm cone or only specific models?
A: This sleeve fits any industry-standard 750mm two-piece traffic cone, including the CMT RS2DOC750 and RS2RC750. It is not compatible with one-piece cones or 1000mm cones.
Q: Can I fit this sleeve over the existing reflective sleeve on my cone?
A: Yes. The sleeve can be applied directly over most existing reflective sleeves without removing the original. No tools are required.
Q: Is the cone included?
A: No. This product is the sleeve only. The cone is not included. For the complete Danger Overhead Cables cone, see the CMT RS2DOC750.
Q: What is this sleeve NOT suitable for?
A: This sleeve is not suitable for one-piece cones, 450mm cones, or 1000mm cones. It must not be used as a substitute for a safe system of work near overhead power lines. A degraded or faded sleeve that no longer provides clear warning visibility must be replaced before the cone is redeployed.
Q: Does replacing the sleeve maintain Chapter 8 compliance?
A: The sleeve itself does not carry BSI Kitemark certification. Chapter 8 compliance for the overall cone depends on the cone body meeting BS EN 13422. Replacing the sleeve restores warning visibility and hazard communication but does not independently certify the cone. Always confirm the cone body meets the relevant standard for the deployment.
Q: How quickly can I get replacement sleeves delivered to 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 and What3Words integration for precise site delivery. For volume orders of 100 or 200 sleeves, contact the sales team on 020 8311 1144.
Q: How do I know when a sleeve needs replacing?
A: Replace the sleeve when retroreflective performance is visibly reduced, the Danger Overhead Cables text is faded or illegible, the lightning bolt symbol is damaged or obscured, or the sleeve is torn. A sleeve that does not communicate the hazard clearly at approach speed must not be used in deployment.
