The Melba Swintex Wheelchair Ramp, formerly known as the Kerb Buddy (hopefully a more successful rebrand than Twitter) has had a makeover. Now supplied by default, the Ramp is pre-fitted with four heavy-duty skirts that not only provide additional anti-slip support, but also allow for better anchorage upon deployment.
Manufactured with high-precision, high-quality, and from completely recycled material, the skirt indicates the start and end of the Ramp, increasing safety on site.
Two skirts on the underside of the skirt provide additional grip to the road and pavement surface, preventing any potential skidding out of place.
Each skirt sits securely flush with the outer surface of the Ramp so as not to pose a trip hazard, whilst at the same time providing additional grip to whichever materials come into contact.
FEATURES OF THE WHEELCHAIR RAMP
– 4 fixing holes. Can be bolted to the ground. – Efficient anti-slip pattern with additional weighted skirts. – Low edges for anti-trip. – High rise sides to prevent falls. – Able to withstand over 350 kgs. – Company identification can be embossed.
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.

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

The Cylinder range from Melba Swintex is a quick-to-install, simple solution for a temporary walkway, cycle lane, or similar. The highly durable Cats-Eye Base secures into the ground, and with a simple twist, the cylinder is locked into position. All cylinders come supplied with a highly prismatic sleeve which gives a complete 360° visual indication, with the option of custom printing if desired.
SWINBAC
A self-righting Cylinder with little to no maintenance required. The construction at the base of each Swinbac Cylinder implements an elastic banding housed within a tough and durable chamber.

The Kingpin is the simplest of Cylinders, designed to release when struck with impact, which can then easily be reinstalled once again. A permanent lock can also be implemented if required.
FLEXI
The Flexi Cylinder is a one-piece Cylinder that is capable to self-right when struck with force. Its concertina like design allows material to compress at the base of the Cylinder from any angle, then due to the memory of the material, returns to its original form.
ARIANE & PHOENIX
The Ariane implements the twist-lock mechanism seen on the existing Cylinder range allowing the Cylinder to be locked into the Melba Swintex Cats-Eye Base, whereas the Phoenix has a flat base bundled with a locking bolt and nut. Handles have been implemented to allow greater grip for when attaching the Cylinders to their base, as well as the option to emboss with company branding.
All Cats-Eye Bases can be supplied with anchor bolts, or adhesive pads to ease the installation.

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 careless disposal of plastic is an ever-increasing problem for our planet. In 2015, approximately 300 million tons of plastic was generated, with the alarming statistic that nearly all plastic ever created still exists in some form today.
Sending plastic to landfill should no longer be an option, and more needs to be done to reduce the use of these single-use products. Examples include plastic bags, foamed plastics (“Styrofoam”), and glass-reinforced plastics, also known as SMC.
WHERE DOES YOUR RECYCLING REALLY GO?
Many products can be recycled, but to what extent? It is common to recycle a product’s material just the once, this is a one-and-done process.
Glass-reinforced products can be recycled for use within concrete kilns or to make ash for Energy recovery (both processes being harmful to the environment), but this rarely happens due to convenience and therefore heads straight to landfill .
Melba Swintex manufacture with durable grade plastics these can be recycled more than once, and this is what we do!
WE ARE COMMITTED TO THE ENVIRONMENT.
All products from Melba Swintex are manufactured from recycled & virgin materials that are completely recyclable, with a company-wide ban on single use plastics and non-recyclable materials. Over 350 tons of plastic is recycled each week on site in our very own factory.
This practice allows the company to offer a true Closed Loop Recycling option to all customers, ensuring no waste product goes to landfill.

Melba Swintex – Protecting tomorrow, by Recycling today.
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.
