CityWall Red White Barrier with DoubleTop Products

Introducing the all New CityWall

A first from Melba Swintex and a first for the Traffic Management sector, the CityWall is a 2 metre Water filled separator with one key feature – an innovational twin-colour option never seen before in the industry, providing the ultimate brand identity on worksites and the like.

STRUCTURE

At 2m in length and 0.8m in height, the CityWall is suited to heavy-duty, long-term projects. With high-impact, ultraviolet, and all-weather resistance, the CityWall is capable to withstand the test of time.

JUST ADD WATER

Highly detailed strengthening features allow the blow-moulded body to withstand great pressures. This detail allows for the capacity of up to 250 litres, resulting in at least an additional 250 kg of weight.

FILLING

A heavy-duty cap found on either side of the body allows entry for a standard bowser nozzle allowing for a quick and easy fill.

EMBOSSING

Featuring our largest embossing area to date, either side can be branded with corporate logos and any additional detail required.

Bolt that connect top to bottom of the CityWall

FIXING

7 points of connection using highly robust steel bolts guarantee strength and longevity of the CityWall.

COMPATIBILITY

If 0.8m in height isn’t enough, then the CityWall can be extended to 1.35 m and 1.8 m respectively via the addition of both the DoubleTop and Mini DoubleTop from Melba Swintex. Hole centres seen throughout the entire Separator range ensure compatibility amongst existing products. These two products also allow further customisation emphasizing brand identity throughout.

THE POSTMAN SYSTEM

Transformed throughout the years and regarded as a classic in the world of temporary barriers, our Postman system strives on to provide solutions to the Utility Sector. Continuous improvements in manufacturing quality result in a robust system with a fast-manufacturing turnaround.

The system can be colour coded to brand colours, as well as each part having the ability to be branded with contractors information. Minimum runs apply.

THE BASE

The Postman Base is the corner stone to the Postman system. By providing 4 kg in weight each time, and by having a reasonably sized footprint, stability is provided for the standard system setup. Manufactured from 100% recycled material, which is also 100% completely recyclable.

THE PLANK

Available in 3 lengths, the Postman Plank is superior in strength than a standard uPVC Plank. Smart detailed design has resulted in a high impact resistant product, allowing for a much greater life span. Blow moulded from Virgin materials, which are 100% recyclable.

THE POST

The Postman Post is blow moulded from 100% Virgin material, which is 100% recyclable. The tessellated profile at the base allows for a smart and secure fit into the Postman Base, this also provides great strength. A small lip is present at the top which allows a secure fit for a lamp if desired.

ANTI-TRIP BASE

An Anti-trip version of the Postman Base is available to provide increased safety when the working area is restricted in size. Both Bases implementing an easy-carry handle to aid installation.

MINIMAL LEAD TIMES – GET THEM HERE FIRST

The Gate Barrier is one of the original Chapter 8 barriers on the market, and our most popular barrier ever. These past few months we have invested heavily in new tooling which has seen lead times for the Gate massively reduced.

So get your orders in ready for all of those upcoming events we can all once again enjoy!

Connection from barrier to barrier is quick and simple with an easy drop and secure solution, that allows for uneven ground and varying kerb heights.

Four Location lugs within the windows of the barrier allow for the attachment of a courtesy sign, providing the option for extra information if required.

Various customisation options are available for the barriers, including bespoke colours and corporate identification embossed onto the front of the barrier.

Like with all Melba Swintex barriers, there is an abundance of heavy-duty foot options as well as methods for ballasting for those high wind speed applications.

For more information on Wind Speed Classes, and how we successfully tested the Gate Barrier at the only full-scale wind tunnel within the UK, click here.

Thor & Hammer go All Plastic

Originally both our Thor & Hammer barriers implemented steel legs and rivets within its construction. However, these unprecedented times have seen costs and lead times dramatically increase for metal, and we saw this as a key time to take advantage of the situation. We have developed our very own HDPE leg which provides the same high performance and strength, with increased safety in Barrier collisions.

All Hooks are manufactured from Polypropylene and attached with the use of Tri-fold rivets allowing a quick and easy connection from barrier to barrier.

We have designed and engineered our very own barrier foot manufactured from HDPE at the Melba Swintex factory, providing the same high-quality performance as its metal counterpart.

Various customisation options are available on both barriers so if you have a specific request then feel free to get in touch to find out what can be done.

Melba Swintex supply a vast variety of heavy-duty Bases with which we would not want to fill up your Inbox with listing each and every one, therefore all of our Bases can be found online via our website. www.mebaswintex.com

Have a different Base requirement that we have somehow missed? Get in touch and we will look towards a solution together: sales@melbaswintex.com

It is the known standard for barrier systems to be 2 metres in length, however sometimes this footprint is a little too large, and a more compact system is required when space is key. Available on the market for quite some time now is our 1m Stacca Barrier, but now for the first time, we have upgraded the system to include a variant for our 2m Gate barrier – our bestselling barrier to date. This allows the 1m Barrier complete compatibility with the entire Melba Swintex Barrier range.

1M STACCA

The 1m Stacca variant incorporates the use of our S-Clip feature which allows compatibility with a range of our barriers such as: Master, Tuff, Olympic, and Buddha. As well as other barrier systems currently available.

FEATURES

The only difference on the 1m Barrier is its method of connection, other than that all features are identical. Including the functionality for a Courtesy Sign that can be centrally attached to provide information to the public if required.

1M GATE

The 1m Gate variant incorporates a Hook & Eye system identical to the 2m Gate Barrier system. This allows a quick an easy connection when deploying barrier, as well as maintaining connection on uneven ground.

A crowd may be the last thing anybody wants to be in at this moment in time, so all controls need to created in order to ensure a safe and socially distanced environment.

Manufactured from durable materials resistant to high impact forces, which are non-conductive, and contain no sharp areas that could cause serious harm, the Boss brings a modern touch to an outdated system.

Coloured in Black as standard with fully rotatable feet, the barrier can be branded with corporate identification, as well as the facility to hold signage & advertisement boards.
