Safety Cones provide a visible barrier and alerts motorists with that auspicious orange that everyone familiarizes hazards with. It is surprising how much more caution is extended by drivers when these tools are utilized correctly, as most motorists feign the idea that their vehicle might incur damage from hitting a cone. Many times when the tow truck is loading a vehicle, especially one the highway, the emergency lighting that we depend on to alert oncoming traffic is obstructed by the vehicle being loaded. Some states now require safety cones or an equivalent be kept on the tow truck to help with on scene safety measures. Recently, the advent of the "collapsable cone" has made storing cones on your truck even easier as it will take up less space. Some may argue that the visibility may be compromised in certain situations, this may even be against the standards set forth by state and local agencies. Be sure to check the requirements in your area.
These cones can be compressed into a flat and space saving position which makes keeping on the truck much easier. Usually a custom compressing cage stows multiple cones together for easy use at the scene of a breakdown or accident.
