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.

Our range of separators are ideal for creating that perfect divide and have been rigorously implemented up and down the country in aid of social distancing. Offering a complete range of varying heights, with self-weighted or water filled options, our range will suit your requirements.

ROAD ROCK

The Road Rock is a 15kg low-level, self-weighted base that easily connects both horizontally and vertically, whilst allowing angular movement. Think of a mini roundabout.

ROAD RUNNER

The Road Runner implements the same tail connection, however, is greater in height at 0.6m and features 2 heavy-duty wheels at the rear allowing for easier movability.

HOG600

The HOG600 is a water-filled, blow moulded separator capable of holding a whopping 55 litres of water and then some. If it falls a little short, the Mini-DoubleTop can be fitted to hit that 1m height.

BUDDHA

The Buddha barrier, aptly named for the belly, is a completely anti-trip water-filled barrier at 0.8m in height, and capable of taking the DoubleTop range. Reflective can also be added for greater visual indication.

WONDERWALL

The WonderWall, at 1m in height, this self-weighted barrier is a favourite within the street works sector. With various options for branding, and a tough strong connection, you are guaranteed to implement that social distance.

DOUBLETOP & MINI

The DoubleTop and Mini-DoubleTop add that little bit of extra height to a variety of the separator range restricting access even further.

After the addition of the HOG600 to the Melba Swintex Separator range, the number one request that customer presented us with was an alternative to the short metal-framed panels that increased the overall height of the separator system. We listened.

The Mini-DoubleTop is a smaller variation of the DoubleTop, designed to locate into various barrier systems in order to increase their height. The robust design with additional reflective panels makes the HOG600 Chapter 8 compliant, whilst also providing a sound and stable setup ensuring public and workforce safety.

Like the existing DoubleTop, the Mini-DT incorporates a Hook & Eye connection which allows a fast & effective installation without the need for any additional parts or tools. With extra length on the connecting peg to ensure connection on uneven grounds.

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.
