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.

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.

White Red CityWall Separator
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.

Filling Cap on the Base of the CityWall
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.

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.

Collection of Ramps
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 & Square Access Ramps
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).

Yellow & Black Speed Ramps
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!
