Thor & Hammer go All Plastic

Thor & Hammer - No Metal

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.

Barrier Hook

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.

Barrier Tube

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.

Customisation Options

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.

Base Options

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

Have a different Base requirement that we have somehow missed? Get in touch and we will look towards a solution together: sales@melbaswintex.com

Melba Swintex Cylinders
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
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. When the Cylinder is hit at with force, the elastic allows the Cylinder to flex over on itself, and then immediately self-right to its vertical position.

Kingpin
KINGPIN

 

A lightweight cylinder that is perfect for managing the direction of traffic. Manufactured to be tough and durable, with little to no maintenance. 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
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.

Instructions for installation can be found on our website here.

All New Mini-DoubleTop Barrier

Categories Barriers, Business, Events, International, Manufacturing, New ProductsTags , , , , , , , , , , , , ,

The Mini-DoubleTop

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.
Height Variations
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.

Q-Sign - Sign of Design

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.

Q-Sign - Brand It.

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.

Q-Sign Range

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.

Q-Weight

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.
