Plasticade introduced the Signicade® sign stand to our lineup in the 1990s, and it has been a trusted solution for businesses nationwide ever since. What makes it the preferred choice? It was engineered to endure the toughest conditions, providing businesses with a reliable, American-made solution built to stand the test of time. When it comes to sign stands, there’s only one genuine Signicade®—and it’s made by Plasticade. The Signicades® in the photo below? They’ve been in use for over 20 years. That’s the kind of durability we’re talking about. Here’s why the Signicade® is the real deal: ✅ Made in America – Made locally and ready to ship. ✅ Built to Last – Withstands the elements year after year. ✅ Designed for Performance – Weather and rust resistant. ✅ Reliability You Can Trust – We stand behind every sign stand we make. Before you choose a sign stand, ask yourself: Who made it? Do they stand behind it? Will it last? We do. And it will. #Plasticade #SignStands #AmericanMade #QualityMatters #AmericanManufacturing

When it comes to keeping your crew and the public safe, every detail counts—Here are some general guidelines to help you choose the right weight for your cones: 🔶 Standard 28-inch Cone Recommended weight: 5-10 lbs (2.3-4.5 kg) For: Everyday conditions and moderate traffic. 🔶 Large 36-inch Cone Recommended weight: 10-15 lbs (4.5-6.8 kg) For: Tougher situations, higher traffic, and gusty winds. 🔶 Extra-Heavy Duty (High Winds/Heavy Traffic) Recommended weight: 20-30 lbs (9-13.6 kg) For: Active sites, high-speed traffic, and strong winds. 🔶 The Bottom Line: Make sure your cones stay put and your team stays safe. https://lnkd.in/g97EFaxv #RoadSafety #WorkZoneSafety #TrafficCones #ConeWeights #BuiltTough #SafetyFirst #ProtectTheCrew #Plasticade
