For maximum safety on construction sites and in traffic, reliable guidance systems are essential. At INCAPCORP, you can buy Beacons online that meet the highest technical standards. Our range of Beacons (Leitbaken) is certified and ensures smooth traffic control in every situation.
Variety of Guide Beacons for Maximum Safety
Guide Beacons (Leitbaken) are an indispensable component of construction site and traffic safety. Depending on the application, there are various designs, each offering specific advantages. In the INCAPCORP online shop, you can select the right traffic beacons according to your preferences and technical requirements:
- Flexible Beacons
- Foldable Beacons
- Emergency Beacons
The Standard Safety Beacon (TL-Tested) – TL-Beacons online kaufen
The classic safety beacon forms the basis of traffic guidance. It is characterized by the red-and-white, retroreflective film in the standard size of 1000 x 250 mm and is simply inserted into a suitable base plate.
Why you should choose TL-Tested Beacons
A crucial quality characteristic is the "TL-tested" certification. Such TL-Beacons not only offer outstanding durability but also increased protection. In the event of an impact or accident, these beacons significantly reduce the risk of loose parts turning into dangerous projectiles and injuring people. We make it easy for you to buy Beacons online that meet these rigorous standards.
Important Accessories and System Compatibility
When using TL-Beacons, it is essential to pay attention to the system compatibility of the beacon, base plate, and beacon light. Not every accessory fits every TL-tested beacon. We offer ready-made complete sets for this purpose to simplify your purchase.
Special Versions: Foldable and Flexible Beacons
Foldable Beacons for Quick Operations
The practical foldable beacons are the ideal solution for situations where things need to happen quickly, such as short-term day or night construction sites. Their robust folding mechanism allows for lightning-fast assembly and disassembly and ensures space-saving storage and easy transport.
Flexible Beacons for Special Mounting
Flexible beacons are often used where mounting on elevated elements is necessary, such as on traffic curbs, guide rails, or even construction fences. They are frequently found on highways to delineate entry and exit lanes.
Required Reflection Classes (RA) for Traffic Beacons
The red-and-white film of every warning beacon is retroreflective. However, the required reflection class (RA) depends on the type of road and the traffic load. Ensure you buy Beacons online with the correct RA class for your application.
Overview of Reflection Classes (RA)
The following table provides guidance on the minimum required reflection class:
When to use RA 1 vs. RA 2 Beacons
| Area of Application |
Required Reflection Class |
| Inner-city side streets |
RA 1 (Sufficient) |
| Heavily trafficked roads |
RA 2 (Required) |
| Federal roads and highways |
RA 2 (Required) |
Correct Installation and Alignment of Leitbaken
The correct alignment of a beacon is essential for traffic guidance. This ensures the safety of drivers and workers.
Guidance Direction and Reversible Beacons
- Guidance Direction: Left-pointing beacons guide traffic past the left side of the barrier, while right-pointing beacons do so on the right side.
- Reversible Beacons (Wendebaken): On sections without oncoming traffic, reversible beacons can be used. These can be switched from left- to right-pointing by simple rotation, facilitating adaptation to changed traffic routing.
Transverse and Longitudinal Barriers with Beacons
The placement of guide beacons is divided into transverse and longitudinal barriers, which guide traffic in an arc around a hazard point:
Transverse Barrier (Beginning and End)
These beacons form the conclusion of the barrier. They must generally be equipped with a yellow beacon light (as continuous light, not flashing light). Red lights are prohibited here.
Longitudinal Barrier (Separation)
These elements separate the flowing traffic area from the construction site work area. On highways, sequential continuous light systems may be used here.
Minimum Safety Distances for Beacons
To guide traffic and protect employees, the following minimum safety distances must be observed:
- Distance Vehicles to Beacons: at least 25 cm.
- Distance Beacon to Work Area: at least 30 cm within built-up areas and 50 cm outside built-up areas.
