Buy Traffic Drums With or Without Rubber Bases
Choose a complete traffic drum with a tire-ring base when you need both components for deployment. The listed Commander drum includes a 23-inch tire-ring base weighing approximately 22 lb. A drum-only configuration is also available for crews with compatible existing bases. We also offer a 22.5-inch replacement rubber base. Confirm compatibility before ordering replacement components.
Reflective Traffic Barrels for Road Construction
Select reflective sheeting based on your traffic control plan and project specifications.
Available Commander drum configurations include:
- 4-inch Engineer Grade (EG)
- 6-inch Engineer Grade (EG)
- 6-inch High Intensity Prismatic (HIP)
- 6-inch Diamond Grade (DG)
These options provide different reflective characteristics. Check the applicable Manual on Uniform Traffic Control Devices (MUTCD) requirements and manufacturer documentation for your selected model.
How to Choose the Right Traffic Drums
Start with the intended roadway application, reflective sheeting requirements, and number of drums needed. For new work zones, compare complete drum-and-base configurations. For existing equipment, determine whether you need replacement drum bodies or rubber bases.
Avoid these common ordering mistakes:
- Ordering drum bodies without the bases required for deployment.
- Selecting reflective sheeting without reviewing project requirements.
- Assuming a replacement base fits every drum model.
- Comparing prices without checking the included components.
Review each product's specifications before purchasing equipment for public roadwork.

Buy Traffic Drums for Multiple Road Crews
Supplying several construction projects? Calculate the required drum quantities for each work zone. Confirm reflective grades and base requirements before combining your purchase into a bulk quote request.
Compare Traffic Barrel Prices and Components
The price depends on reflective sheeting, base inclusion, and selected quantity. Compare complete assemblies against drum-only configurations. Buying a drum without its required base can change the total project cost.

For larger municipal or contractor orders, provide the required drum model, reflective grade, quantity, and base preference. We can review your request and help clarify the purchasing specifications.
Frequently Asked Questions
What is the difference between traffic drums and traffic barrels?
Traffic drums and traffic barrels commonly refer to the same type of temporary traffic control device. These orange channelizing devices help guide vehicles around road construction, lane closures, and work zones. Safety Supplies USA offers reflective Commander traffic drums with optional base configurations. Check project specifications before selecting a model.
Do traffic drums come with rubber bases?
Some traffic drums include a rubber base, while others are sold without one. Safety Supplies USA offers Commander drums with tire-ring bases and drum-only configurations. A replacement rubber base is also available separately. Check the product title and specifications to confirm which components are included before ordering.
What reflective sheeting options are available for traffic drums?
Selected Commander traffic drums offer 4-inch and 6-inch Engineer Grade, 6-inch High Intensity Prismatic, and 6-inch Diamond Grade reflective sheeting. These configurations have different reflective characteristics. Confirm the required grade, stripe width, and applicable MUTCD provisions with your project's specifications before purchasing.
How much do construction traffic barrels cost?
Traffic barrel prices depend on the selected reflective sheeting, whether a rubber base is included, and the order quantity. A drum-only configuration may have a lower listed price than a complete assembly. Compare the current product prices and included components before calculating your total project cost.
Can I buy traffic drums in bulk for road construction?
Yes. You can request a bulk quote for traffic drums used across multiple road construction or maintenance projects. Provide the required quantity, reflective sheeting grade, and base configuration. If you need replacement bases, list them separately. Confirm the product specifications and total quantities before finalizing your order. Buy traffic drums for your next road construction project or request a bulk quote for your crew.
