Type III Barricades with Metal Bases

Each of the two 63” steel uprights and each of the two 60” steel feet weigh 9 lbs., so the metal base weighs a total of approximately 36 lbs. When three 6’ plastic panels are installed onto the metal base, the fully-assembled Type III Barricade With Metal Base weighs approximately 58 lbs. When three 8’ panels are installed, the barricade weighs approximately 65 lbs.

All components of a metal base are made from 14-gauge galvanized steel. The tubular shape of the uprights and feet fulfills the requirements of many local jurisdictions.

For one metal base, there are two 63” tubular square uprights made from galvanized steel and two 60” tubular steel feet. One steel foot has a 2-inch-tall riser where one upright can be inserted. Each component weighs approximately 9 lbs., so the fully-assembled metal base weighs a combined 36 lbs.

Yes, all panels we supply have closed ends to keep moisture, dirt, and insects out.

Which sheeting material to choose is left to local jurisdictions and their specifications. Both high-intensity prismatic (HIP) and full-cube prismatic (FCP) fulfill retroreflectivity requirements as set by the federal government. FCP sheeting greatly exceeds the minimum requirements and is often chosen when visibility in all road conditions is the highest priority.

Three 6’/8’ panels, two 63” steel uprights, two 60” steel feet, and all the assembly hardware you need are included in your purchase of a Type III Barricade With Metal Base.
