In traffic control, channelizer drums play a critical role in guiding and protecting both motorists and construction crews. However, not all channelizer drums are created equal. Among the various types, high-density and low-density channelizer drums offer distinct features and benefits that cater to different needs and scenarios.
The main use case for both High Density Drums and Low Density Drums comes down to environmental factors. High Density Channelizer Drums (HDPE) will offer greater performance in areas with higher average temperatures – ensuring the structural integrity of the channelizer drum; whereas the Low Density will perform better in colder climates as it will become less brittle, preventing breakage on impact.
While many manufacturers claim to produce a low-density traffic drum, TrafFix Devices have engineered and tested our Low Density Channelizer Drum to be 100% LDPE.
