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 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).

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!

WHEELCHAIR RAMPS

Designed, tested, and approved by users with varying abilities, our wheelchair ramp range provides a secure and encouraging solution to navigating obstacles found within the traffic management world. All three ramps can be provided in a high-visibility yellow to ensure safety, and all with conformity to current legislation, the ramps ensure easy access around those street works.

CABLE RAMPS

Event organisers hate this one simple trick! Actually no, they love it. Two heavy-duty cable ramps provide protection for when you just can’t divert those important cables. With both an under or over solution, the ramps boast a high-compressive strength allowing traffic to pass over safely and with ease.

Thor & Hammer go All Plastic

April

Barriers, Customisation, Events, International, Manufacturingbarricade, hammer, hdpe, Management, Melba, plastic, safety, Swintex, temporary, thor, Traffic, upgrade

Originally both our Thor & Hammer barriers implemented steel legs and rivets within its construction. However, these unprecedented times have seen costs and lead times dramatically increase for metal, and we saw this as a key time to take advantage of the situation. We have developed our very own HDPE leg which provides the same high performance and strength, with increased safety in Barrier collisions.

All Hooks are manufactured from Polypropylene and attached with the use of Tri-fold rivets allowing a quick and easy connection from barrier to barrier.

We have designed and engineered our very own barrier foot manufactured from HDPE at the Melba Swintex factory, providing the same high-quality performance as its metal counterpart.

Various customisation options are available on both barriers so if you have a specific request then feel free to get in touch to find out what can be done.

Melba Swintex supply a vast variety of heavy-duty Bases with which we would not want to fill up your Inbox with listing each and every one, therefore all of our Bases can be found online via our website. www.mebaswintex.com

Have a different Base requirement that we have somehow missed? Get in touch and we will look towards a solution together: sales@melbaswintex.com

A crowd may be the last thing anybody wants to be in at this moment in time, so all controls need to created in order to ensure a safe and socially distanced environment.

In just over a months’ time the Boss Barrier will mark 7 years of great success within the Event Management sector. Having been the first of its kind manufactured from completely recyclable plastic, the Boss has become a staple product that has crossed the oceans to be found globally.

Manufactured from durable materials resistant to high impact forces, which are non-conductive, and contain no sharp areas that could cause serious harm, the Boss brings a modern touch to an outdated system.

Coloured in Black as standard with fully rotatable feet, the barrier can be branded with corporate identification, as well as the facility to hold signage & advertisement boards.
