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.
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:
A uniquely designed, completely anti-trip Water Filled Separator. – 800 mm in height – reflective on both sides – only 5 kg when empty – over 27 kg when filled to the indicated line – designed to make more working space for the contractor – easy stack, easy fill, easy empty
The Buddha Barrier is easily filled with water at the top, it can then easily be emptied by laying the barrier flat.
The Buddha Barrier is the only Water Filled Separator that can rotate over 270° whilst remaining connected to the other barrier.
The Buddha Barrier can be positioned face to face, creating a closed and secure area.
A maximum level line is indicated on the back of the barrier, and with an overfill hole for visual indication.
The Buddha Barrier has the capability to take a top metal fence panel. This adds an extra level of security.
Stacking The unique shape of the Buddha allows easy and safe stacking that results in less room being occupied during transport and storage when back at the contractor’s yard.

Relying on suppliers of the all metal Phoenix resulted in longer lead times, therefore we are moving away from the use of metal, and will focus on a completely plastic Litter Bin range.
