Recent weather has seen torrential downpours and high-strength winds that have resulted in damaged properties and uprooted trees. This unpredictable weather has brought unpredictable results, and what better way to ensure the stability of your temporary barriers than with the use of the Melba Swintex Heavy Duty Footplates, as well as our extensive range of Bases?

The New KG-Base is the latest addition to the Heavy-Duty Base collection. Providing a 25kg Ballast with a variety of hole locations for multiple layouts.  2 areas for personalised company identification and an ergonomically designed handle to ease handling.

The 25kg Footplate supplies 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.

The 28kg Footplate is the big brother to the 25kg, with almost identical features, whilst also 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 a housing compartment for any loose batteries if required.

Need something a little lighter? The Fence Base MKII is suited for the mobile fencing market. Supplying a weight of up to 18kg, and 16 standardised holes ensures suitability for most construction jobs.

The Road Rock provides an impressive 15kg each, as well as a vast selection of uses. Its primary use is as a ballast to the Melba Swintex Barrier range, keeping them upright in Class A wind speeds.

For additional weight onto our Q-Sign range, 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.

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.

Goldilocks & the three Barrier Feet

One day Goldilocks was digging up the pathway outside the cottage of the Three Bears. She had only three Melba Swintex barriers which were all, unfortunately, missing their feet. Being unable to start her work without these, she knocked on the door of the Three Bears. There was no reply but the door was wide open…..

Little Bears Feet.

On the Kitchen table, as luck would have it, were three pairs of Barrier Feet! First she tried out Little Bears feet, which just so happened to be the Standard Foot in the Melba Swintex range, which were by far the most popular (Little Bear being led by fashion). They did the job, but Goldilocks just wasn’t satisfied.

Next was Momma Bears.

Goldilocks picked up the next pair, which were the brilliant Anti-Trip Barrier Feet. Momma Bear is of course always looking after and caring for people, so she would want a foot that prevented people from tripping and hurting themselves (and probably filing a legal suit.) Goldilocks was very impressed with the foot, but it just still didn’t feel right.

Finally, Daddy Bears.

The Tuff Foot was a huge monster at 5Kgs each in weight. Goldilocks immediately thought that at twice the size, twice the weight, and twice the stability, it would give her barrier the much greater wind resistance she was looking for. Goldilocks was a very clever girl! Imagine these used with a Road Rock she exclaimed, that Big Bad Wolf can huff and puff all he wants!!!
Just then, the Three Bears returned to their cottage after a day in the woods, Goldilocks panicked. Fortunately, the Three Bears just wanted their little pathway to be repaired, and were all more than happy to let Goldilocks use the Tuff Foot on her barriers, allowing her to complete the repairs. The Tuff Foot can be used on the Tuff, Vision and Olympic Barriers.
