The Q-Sign Range from Melba Swintex is the industry leader in Temporary Road Signs. Many imitations exist, but none stand up to the real thing. With high production rates and high quality that has become standard here at Melba Swintex, it’s no surprise that the Q-Sign is our number one seller in Traffic Signs.

Melba Swintex have also recently invested into the purchase of another Q-Sign manufacturing machine and plan to take delivery within a few weeks time. Forever striving to better lead times and provide a higher quality product.

The entire Q-Sign range can be printed with corporate branding along the side, or top, so that any Q-Signs that do go off wandering can easily be identified before finishing on site.

What size to go for? There are 6 standard sizes of Q-Sign to choose from, as well as a few bespoke sizes. All in conformance with Chapter 8 – The Traffic Signs Manual.

For additional weight, the Q-Weight provides the perfect solution. Locating with ease onto the back leg, the Q-Weight reduces the chances of movement from the sign.

The New Environmentally Friendly Tuff Tread.

1200 x 800 Tuff Tread

Introducing the all new environmentally friendly Tuff Tread. A completely recyclable trench cover that conforms to the latest HAUC regulations. Manufactured from HDPE with a PVC skirting, this single-man lift cover is perfect for use as a Footway Board in utility & general street works.

For more information including test reports and datasheets:
Click here for the Tuff Tread web page.

Tested in accordance to the latest HAUC regulations under the full guidance of Lloyds British, an accredited testing house with over 200 years experience in this field. The Tuff Tread can withstand a full working load of 400 kgs with minimal deflection, & 800 kgs with no sign of failure, over a trench span of 700mm. See the video above to find out more.

The materials used in the manufacturing of the Tuff Tread are 100% recyclable which dramatically reduces the products ending up in landfill by using our closed loop recycling opportunity. Each Tuff Tread when recycled, can be used to manufacture: new products, cone bases, or even a new skirt for another Tuff Tread.

Current covers are manufactured from GRP, which is composed of fine strands of glass fibre that are a severe irritant for skin. When the material breaks, there is a potential risk the glass fibres can become airborne, which poses a serious risk to existing respiratory problems.

Existing GRP Trench Covers can break and fracture easily, so therefore must be replaced regularly. It is extremely difficult to recycle GRP, and due to this, most GRP products end up in landfill at their end of life.

The Tuff Tread uses materials that have a high strength-to-density ratio. They are proven to last longer than GRP products. The material does not splinter, nor pose an irritant threat when exposed to contact with the skin. Maintenance of them is easy, and they can be wiped or washed clean if and when required.

Closed Loop Recycling

Melba Swintex has a 100% commitment to the environment and due to this, offers a closed loop recycling opportunity on the new Tuff Tread and all of our existing products. For more details on this, and how you can improve your carbon footprint, get in touch using the link below:
