Highway Taper Staging Traffic Barrel Packages
Engineered Rapid-Deployment Barrel Arrays for MTO Book 7 Highway Closures
Technical Overview & Aerodynamic Stability
Pre-calculated, palletized traffic barrel packages designed specifically for 400-series highway lane tapers, ramp drops, and arterial bypasses. Includes all required TC-54 drums, 50 lb anti-roll bases, and optional sequential amber flashing beacons.
Across high-speed 400-series Ontario expressways and major arterial reconstructions, standard lightweight traffic markers fail under heavy transport truck aerodynamic drag. Our Highway Taper Staging Traffic Barrel Packages rental fleet incorporates an engineered low-center-of-gravity ballast geometry with vulcanized micro-tread rubber bases that grip asphalt and concrete surfaces securely, preventing hazardous creep into active live traffic lanes.
