Melba 46 Cone with No Waiting and Euro Band Cones

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.

YOUR SOLUTION TO SOCIAL DISTANCING

The ongoing fight against COVID-19 is seeing new ways in how we live and interact with one another. Our range of products provide various solutions to ensuring that the 2-metre social distancing we should all be implementing is encouraged and provided. We do specialise in barriers after all.

Gate Barrier
BARRIERS

The 2-metre range of temporary barriers are already being implemented outside supermarkets. The vast majority incorporate a courtesy sign area in which we can digitally print your message for extra communication.

Q-Sign
SIGNS

The Q-Sign range is a common sight around road works; however, we offer the ability to print custom sign faces to allow businesses to get their message and brand across. The use of highly prismatic material ensures your sign is seen.

WonderWall
SEPARATORS

Our range of separators are ideal for creating that perfect divide and are already being implemented within COVID-19 testing facilities up and down the country.

Minisign

CONES & DELINEATORS

For that gentle reminder, we offer smaller-in-size products with a large range of Cones and Delineators that allow quick deployment, with the facility to have your message printed onto the product.

Traffic Management: the tale of 2015.

With new amazing lead times & best sellers (Road Cones and Traffic Barriers) all in stock, it looks like we are steps ahead of the competition. But as we at Melba Swintex look forward to our best ever year, first lets have a recap of 2015:

JANUARY

January was the month we launched the Tuff Trench and it has really taken off, both here in the UK and overseas.

  Tuff Trench

FEBRUARY

It’s taken a while but after the success of our Blow Moulded Traffic Barriers, it made sense to delve into the Crowd Control market. Thus the launch of the Boss Barrier. Although slow to start, it is now taking us into markets we have never been in before.

  Boss Barrier

MARCH

We introduced a new price list which saw a removal of screen charges on signs.

  Screen Charges

APRIL

Melba Swintex exhibited at Traffex and gained huge interest in our new range of products

  Traffex

MAY

Yet another new product: this time we launched the Kerb Buddy, our new Blow Moulded Wheelchair Ramp.

JUNE

This time it’s the Flexi 500 Cone, the MPL 50 but in super flexible material. Squash it, squeeze it, squish it, it still pops back into its original shape.

  Flexi 500

JULY

In July we launched the Tuff Barrier – a new type of traffic barrier. Incorporating the Q-Clip, the barriers connect together in a linear row, When combined with the Cross-Trench support, the barriers become highly wind resistant. Compatible with the Master Barrier.

  Tuff Barrier

AUGUST

In August we introduced our All Yellow Ramp. The original 5cm Melba Ramp, but with the same super flexible material used for the Flexi 500. It’s yellow all the way through.

  Flexi Ramp

SEPTEMBER

As the leaves started turning brown we introduced the Flexi Cylinder. Available in 460, 750 and 1000mm, a one piece Cylinder capable of returning upright after impact. Knock it, kneecap it, knobble it, it bounces back upright.

  Flexi Cylinder

OCTOBER

The Road Rock! One of the most versatile products we have ever launched. Weigh down your barriers, put cylinders in them, make a wall out of them, the Swiss Army Knife of Traffic Management.

NOVEMBER

The final product launch of the year was the Ariane Twist-lock. Bigger than our standard Cylinder, it twists into our standard Cats-Eye base.

DECEMBER
Thanks to all our customers for making December the busiest one we have ever had.

Road cones sales take off

Categories Cones, roadcone, roadcone manufacturerTags , ,

Our Starlite roadcone was brought out as a lighter, more economical road cone than its heavier counterparts the Mastercone and Bigfoot roadcones. As a road cone manufacturer this gave our customers a great choice of light, medium and heavy roadcones suitable for all types of roads and weather conditions. Sales of the Starlite have steadily grown over the years but showed a 33% increase in 2014 compared to 2012. This year shows similar sales and with no down turn in the  sales of Bigfoot and Mastercone the Starlite seems to have created a market all of its own. http://www.melbaswintex.co.uk/starlite.php

#roadcone #cult following

The Starlite cone is a two piece cone, with it’s centre manufactured from virgin HDPE, and base from recycled PVC. The cone is 100% recyclable and is fitted with the Melba Swintex high performance prismatic Starlux® sleeve.

Blow moulded top with easy grip access.
100% thermoplastic recyclable base with anti-slip feature.
Fitted with high performance Starlux® pocketed prismatic sleeve, offering superb daylight luminance and night time reflectivity.
Bases & centres can also be embossed and coloured.
The Melba Swintex sleeves fitted on to the roadcones are the best in the business and are often specified in worldwide contracts and tenders. Melba Swintex exports worldwide and the cones in particular are very popular in the European Market but they dont stop there. They export to Australia, Canada, America, Hong Kong, Macau, Singapore and to many many other countries.
