The traffic cone dropper and retriever comprises a platform which may either be secured to or integral with a vehicle, with the platform being positioned either to one side or to the rear of the vehicle. Cones 8 may be deployed through a tube assembly which includes upper and lower sets of jaws which operate via a cam system to allow individual cones to be deployed. A distance measuring assembly may be included to activate system to deploy cones at the desired interval. A ramp assembly 7 may alternatively be used to drop cones with the ramp facing towards the rear of the vehicle with the ramp including traction wheels 27 that engage the ground and act to drive a belt 23 on the ramp that moves cones along the ramp's length. Alternatively the ramp can be secured facing towards the front of the vehicle and used to retrieve cones from the road, with a cone guide 29 and tripping bar 33 at the bottom of the ramp acting to tilt cones to facilitate their passing onto the ramp. |
