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 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.

The Thor Barrier

God like strength combined with Lightning fast production.
The NEW Thor Barrier is a highly robust and protective Barrier that can be deployed to guide vehicles and pedestrians on to the correct path when required. Over engineered to produce great strength, you’d need the HULK to knock it over when used with the 28 kg Footplate. So why call it the Thor Barrier?
