Traffic Barriers – a weighty issue.
The Road Rock is primarily designed to be the ballast for our range of Traffic Barriers and fits the Gate, Master, Vision, Olympic and Tuff Barriers. Using two
Road Rocks per traffic barrier, or one when the barriers are in a boxed formation will make the barrier pass Class B Wind Speed Legislation (this is now mandatory in Scotland where barriers are left unattended for over 24 hours).
However the Road Rock has a few surprises up its sleeve…
The Road Rock links to itself using a hook and tail connection similar to that seen on the Road Runner , this makes it possible to create a continuous run of the heavy duty linear traffic barriers.
Cylinder Housing.
The Road Rock also takes the Cylinder and Ariane and will twist lock into the top making a highly visible linear traffic barriers.

Wind Speeds.
The original concept for the Road Rock was all down to wind. Tests had shown that a minimum of 30Kg was needed for a barrier to withstand Class B Wind Speeds (17.6 m/s). ‘Safety at Street Works and Road Works – ACOP 2015’ states that all traffic barriers in Scotland that are unattended for a period of 24 hours or more, need to be capable of withstanding winds of Class B. At 15Kgs each, the Road Rock is the first ever product which provides the precise weight needed, every time, to withstand these wind speeds
With new production equipment comes new Custom Moulding Facilities and Trade Moulding. Melba Swintex has invested hugely in new machinery over the last 10 years but in particularly over the last 2 years. This has opened up new markets and we are able to offer
- Injection Moulding
- Compression Moulding
- Rotational Moulding
- Blow Moulding
We have huge amounts of experience and technical know how as well as a design department with 3D printing facilities. We understand that you need to hold and feel your bespoke product before committing to a full production run and are able to prototype and model new shapes so that you can see and feel the real model in your hands before tooling up. The in-house toolmaking team will then engineer the mould further speeding up production.
