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.
A first from Melba Swintex and a first for the Traffic Management sector, the CityWall is a 2 metre Water filled separator with one key feature – an innovational twin-colour option never seen before in the industry, providing the ultimate brand identity on worksites and the like.
STRUCTURE
At 2m in length and 0.8m in height, the CityWall is suited to heavy-duty, long-term projects. With high-impact, ultraviolet, and all-weather resistance, the CityWall is capable to withstand the test of time.
JUST ADD WATER
Highly detailed strengthening features allow the blow-moulded body to withstand great pressures. This detail allows for the capacity of up to 250 litres, resulting in at least an additional 250 kg of weight.
FILLING
A heavy-duty cap found on either side of the body allows entry for a standard bowser nozzle allowing for a quick and easy fill.
EMBOSSING
Featuring our largest embossing area to date, either side can be branded with corporate logos and any additional detail required.
FIXING
7 points of connection using highly robust steel bolts guarantee strength and longevity of the CityWall.
COMPATIBILITY
If 0.8m in height isn’t enough, then the CityWall can be extended to 1.35 m and 1.8 m respectively via the addition of both the DoubleTop and Mini DoubleTop from Melba Swintex. Hole centres seen throughout the entire Separator range ensure compatibility amongst existing products. These two products also allow further customisation emphasizing brand identity throughout.
Since 1986, the one-piece traffic cone has been a staple of the Melba Swintex product range and has defined the Traffic Management sector. The high-demand for the 1-Piece Cone family has never been as high, and it is therefore with great delight that Melba Swintex introduce the Brand-New MELBA 46 Cone.
Thorough research into manufacturing processes and high-durability materials has resulted in the highest of quality 1-Piece Cone the industry has ever seen, with the improvement in design resulting in 500 pcs per pallet.
Improving lead times with the purchase of new injection moulding machinery has vastly improved production speeds on the 1-Piece Cone family.
Utilising a blend of ultra grade recycled material, the MELBA46 provides a lightweight and durable, cost-effective Traffic Cone in all options..
MPL75
With the introduction of new machinery, it has also been possible to double the production for the 1-Piece MPL75 Cone. By focusing on improving manufacturing techniques, production lead times have been vastly improved with customer satisfaction being key.
There are a multitude of instances where either access is required up a sudden step, or emergency piping that is temporary must be placed into oncoming traffic. Due to being specialists in high-compression materials, it is understandable that there are many solutions to these issues available from Melba Swintex.
ACCESS RAMPS
The Access Ramp range is available as a 4” or 6” product providing an easy solution to navigating those curb heights. Indoor or outdoor use, the self-weighted ramp can be placed into a linear run by implementing the interlocking feature, with a water channel provided if rain happens to be forecast (outside hopefully).
SPEED RAMPS
The Melba Ramps are a heavy-duty solution to traffic calming and help discourage those eager drivers in travelling at speeds they shouldn’t be. With the 5cm suited to speeds of 15mph, and its counterpart at 7.5cm for 10mph, the ramps come in a black & yellow variation and are fitted with highly reflective road studs, so those eager beavers don’t have any excuse!
WHEELCHAIR RAMPS
Designed, tested, and approved by users with varying abilities, our wheelchair ramp range provides a secure and encouraging solution to navigating obstacles found within the traffic management world. All three ramps can be provided in a high-visibility yellow to ensure safety, and all with conformity to current legislation, the ramps ensure easy access around those street works.
CABLE RAMPS
Event organisers hate this one simple trick! Actually no, they love it. Two heavy-duty cable ramps provide protection for when you just can’t divert those important cables. With both an under or over solution, the ramps boast a high-compressive strength allowing traffic to pass over safely and with ease.

The Driveway Board is the first blow moulded board of its type. Tested under strict laboratory conditions, the board has been approved to the current HAUC specification. As well as it’s great strength and durability, the board is also 100% recyclable.
Sophisticated design on the underside of the board, complete with high-strength bars supply additional strength resulting in the board capable of supporting heavy loads. With the addition of a deavy-duty PVC skirt that adds unparalleled grip to prevent movement of the board.
All materials used on the driveway board are 100% recyclable. By using Melba Swintex closed-loop recycling this eliminates sending the boards to landfill, each Driveway Board when recycled, can be used to manufacture new products, cone bases, or even a new skirt for another Driveway Board.
With safety at the forefront, careful research & design has been focused on the top surface pattern to ensure the best distribution of detail to allow a good grip for both footwear and tyres. Directional arrows have also been implemented to communicate the correct orientation of the board.
Tested in accordance with the latest HAUC regulations, the Driveway Board can withstand a full working load of 875 kgs with minimal deflection, & up to 1750 kgs with no sign of failure, over a trench span of 700mm.

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

We were recently delighted to be sent images from one of our Exports customers of an installation they had erected in Belgium. The images speak for themselves, but display one of the many uses for our heavy-duty and highly robust Boss Hog Barrier system and thought we had to share.
The Boss Hog
The Boss Hog is a combination of an extremely sturdy single-piece hollow body, and an incredibly heavy duty base, which provide a completely stable temporary fencing system perfect for events and busy areas.
The Gate Barrier is one of the original Chapter 8 barriers on the market, and our most popular barrier ever. These past few months we have invested heavily in new tooling which has seen lead times for the Gate massively reduced.
So get your orders in ready for all of those upcoming events we can all once again enjoy!
Connection from barrier to barrier is quick and simple with an easy drop and secure solution, that allows for uneven ground and varying kerb heights.
Four Location lugs within the windows of the barrier allow for the attachment of a courtesy sign, providing the option for extra information if required.
Various customisation options are available for the barriers, including bespoke colours and corporate identification embossed onto the front of the barrier.
Like with all Melba Swintex barriers, there is an abundance of heavy-duty foot options as well as methods for ballasting for those high wind speed applications.
