The Plasticade Hydrocade Orange Water-Filled Barricade, High-Intensity Prismatic Grade Striped Sheeting (HYD-O-HIPLR-KIT) is the highest-visibility orange Hydrocade. It comes with High-Intensity Prismatic retroreflective striping on both 44" x 8" panels.
Prismatic sheeting returns much more headlight to the driver than Engineer Grade. That makes HYD-O-HIPLR-KIT the better fit for highway and higher-speed lane closures, night work, and sites where drivers need to see the channelizing line from farther away. Under the sheeting it is the same Plasticade Hydrocade body: crash tested for TL-3 MASH acceptance, 67 lbs empty, 745 lbs filled with water, and joined unit to unit with the included connector pin. Units stack 8 per pallet, so large orders ship efficiently.
