Traffic Control, Crowd Control & PPE in Des Moines, IA

Des Moines, IA is a major service market of approximately 212,421 residents, with hospitality properties, medical campuses, shopping destinations, contractors, fleets and public facilities creating very different traffic-control and crowd-management needs.

Other local environments such as Merle Hay Mall and Lutheran Church of Hope show why the right equipment mix can vary from parking and pedestrian control to entrances, events, employee safety and temporary work zones. Boulevard Supply is a dealer for multiple traffic-control and crowd-control manufacturers, so customers can use us as a primary source for several equipment categories instead of piecing together orders from unrelated vendors. We also created Stanchion Masters, our premium decorative post-and-rope line for hospitality and design-conscious properties, including faux wood and faux marble finishes that can complement rustic resorts, upscale entrances, nautical or coastal settings and themed environments.

Boulevard Supply supplies Des Moines customers, but we do not have a storefront there. Our only walk-in location is in Las Vegas, Nevada. We ship qualifying commercial orders nationwide through Boulevard Supply and multiple manufacturer/supplier warehouses. Minimum-order requirements apply to traffic-control equipment.

Des Moines Properties, Employers & Institutions

Instead of treating Des Moines like a generic shipping destination, Boulevard Supply looks at the real properties, institutions and operating environments that make this market different.

Local Example

Wells Fargo Arena

Wells Fargo Arena is the kind of high-attendance destination that can use both sides of Boulevard Supply. Parking lots, loading areas and temporary vehicle routing may call for orange traffic cones and plastic crowd-control barricades, while entrances, ticketing, security lines, concessions and guest-flow areas can use the Prime PHD101BA-BK retractable stanchion for versatile indoor/outdoor queue control.

Local Example

Merle Hay Mall

Merle Hay Mall is the kind of retail environment where entrances, holiday crowds, events and customer-service areas can benefit from the Prime PHD101BA-BK retractable stanchion, sign holders and other crowd-management equipment. Parking and maintenance work can also create demand for orange traffic cones.

Local Market Fit

Des Moines Schools & Campuses

Schools, athletic fields and campuses around Des Moines can use lime green safety cones for highly visible pedestrian and school-zone applications, orange traffic cones for parking and event traffic, and the Prime PHD101BA-BK for cafeterias, registration lines and indoor/outdoor crowd control.

One source for multiple applications. Boulevard Supply is a dealer for multiple crowd-control and traffic-control equipment manufacturers. We also created Stanchion Masters, our premium decorative post-and-rope line with faux wood and faux marble options for resorts, rustic properties, nautical/coastal environments, formal entrances and other design-conscious settings. For standard retractable applications, the Prime PHD101BA-BK is the retractable stanchion we recommend and it is an excellent indoor/outdoor post. For plastic outdoor retractable applications, use the Beltrac Tempest.

PPE for Des Moines Crews & Workforces

Boulevard Supply focuses on business and workforce PPE orders, not one-off purchases for a single worker. Depending on the work environment and season, crew-level categories may include:

  • insulated work gloves
  • high-visibility cold-weather outerwear
  • high-visibility rainwear
  • wet-grip work gloves

Outfitting a crew of 10 or more employees is a better fit than purchasing a single vest or pair of gloves. Actual minimum quantities and case-pack requirements vary by product, size, color, manufacturer and warehouse.
