Heavy Duty Bases to Battle the Elements

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.

All New Mini-DoubleTop Barrier

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.

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.

Introducing the All New HOG600

A sturdy and long-lasting Water Separator which is quick and simple to install, as well as having the capacity to hold over 55 litres of water.

The HOG600 has been designed to be completely anti-trip. By implementing a hook & eye system, each barrier is capable of connecting to the corresponding Separator with ample movement to create different angles.

Each Separator has the ability to increase its height with the addition of a Fence type barrier.

Angular Movement

No corner buffers or additional equipment is required for tight corners or bends. The HOG600 has the angular freedom of over 235°. Six will make a mini roundabout.

Filling & Emptying

Each half of the HOG600 is separately filled from one another using water by utilising the entry points in each of the top corners.

Maximum Level

A maximum level line is indicated on each side of the barrier. When a light source is placed on the inside wall, the water level becomes visible.

The HOG600 provides a vast variety of Benefits & Features. Head over to the dedicated product page to discover what makes it stand out from the rest.
