The Thor & Hammer Barricades have been seeing critical acclaim after starring in the action-packed Spider-Man: Far From Home, and now they are continuing their quest together with the help from a wide selection of heavy-duty Bases.

THOR

A Barricade that provides tremendous strength and restraint ensuring safety on site. An evenly distributed number of holders provide various arrangements for your road lamps.

HAMMER

The smoother of the two, the Hammer has a clean top-rail providing an alternative method to attaching the required road lamp, yet still supplying the great strength that is required.

15KG FOOTPLATE

A Base capable of taking over 8 different styles of product by implementing various hole sizes. With a 225 x 25mm slot to take Beacon markers which is a key facility to the Footplate range, with a locking latch to ensure the Base meets all required legislation.

25KG FOOTPLATE

Supplying a substantial ballast to various traffic marking products. 5 separate hole locations provide multifunctional use, as well as 2 areas for personalised company identification. 4 easy-carry handles allow a smooth transition from the work vehicle to the installation site.

28KG FOOTPLATE

The big brother of the Base family providing that little bit of extra weight for peace of mind. As well as incorporating features to secure standard beacon sizes seen throughout Europe, the Footplate features additional hole sizes for a further range of applications.

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. Keep your eye out in the coming weeks for a new addition to the family. www.mebaswintex.com

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.

Introducing the All New HOG600

A sturdy and long-lasting Water Separator which is quick and simple to install, as well as having the capacity to hold over 55 litres of water.

The HOG600 has been designed to be completely anti-trip. By implementing a hook & eye system, each barrier is capable of connecting to the corresponding Separator with ample movement to create different angles.

Each Separator has the ability to increase its height with the addition of a Fence type barrier.

Angular Movement

No corner buffers or additional equipment is required for tight corners or bends. The HOG600 has the angular freedom of over 235°. Six will make a mini roundabout.

Filling & Emptying

Each half of the HOG600 is separately filled from one another using water by utilising the entry points in each of the top corners.

Maximum Level

A maximum level line is indicated on each side of the barrier. When a light source is placed on the inside wall, the water level becomes visible.

The HOG600 provides a vast variety of Benefits & Features. Head over to the dedicated product page to discover what makes it stand out from the rest.

Melba Swintex has a 100% commitment to the environment and due to this, offers a closed loop recycling opportunity on the new HOG600 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:

Melba Swintex is Flying the Kitemark™

During the past few months, Melba Swintex has had its Traffic Cone range put through tough and vigorous testing. These tests have been conducted by BSI, the national standards body of the United Kingdom, to the technical standards set out within their publications, these of which are recognised globally as the definition and guidelines of all Temporary Traffic Cones. Its now official we have the BSI Kitemark™ for our range of cones.

As the standards published by the BSI are publicly available, any company can state claims of compliance to a standard for their product. However, these claims are often not validated by an independent organisation.

The Kitemark™ on the Melba Swintex Cone range gives you the complete reassurance that it is regularly tested by BSI and meets the requirements of the standard.
