The All New Q-Frame

 

An industry first from Melba Swintex, an all plastic Quick Fit Frame. Implementing the revolutionary Quick-Lock fasteners that are fitted as standard. These remain securely in place allowing a quick and easy sign face installation. The frame takes 300mm and 450mm centre sign plates. Black as standard with Corporate Branding and various all-through colour options available*.

Q-Frame Sign Sizes
Sign Faces

The Q-Frame comes with Quick-Lock fasteners installed at 300mm centres as standard, with the facility to move these into 450mm centre holes. These Quick-Lock fasteners have been carefully engineered to prevent any twists within the frame, ensuring an easy to install sign face every time.

Q-Frame Colours
Customisation

Manufactured in Black as standard, however with the facility to manufacture with your corporate branding colours without the need for any extra processes. As well as this, corporate branding can be embossed onto the front bottom leg of the frame reducing in theft. Minimum runs apply.

Q-Frame Collection

Q-Frame Construction
Deployment

Sophisticated form around the connection for the back legs ensures they do not come away in everyday use. With indication as to when the legs are in the open position, and a smart catch feature when in the home position.

Q-Frame Stacking
Transport

Unique to the Q-Frame is its ability to stack with itself, resulting in safer transport and utilisation of space more efficiently. 80 pieces to a pallet, with lighter-in-weight than its metal counterpart means less fuel required for transport.

Q-Frame Back

Testing

All portable road signs must conform to BS 8442:2015 to be used on British roads, and this includes the Q-Frame. The Q-Frame is the first quick fit frame variant that has been rigorously tested at the MIRA Wind tunnel facility, to determine the specific ballast requirement for each Wind Class.

Q-Sign - Sign of Design

The Q-Sign Range from Melba Swintex is the industry leader in Temporary Road Signs. Many imitations exist, but none stand up to the real thing. With high production rates and high quality that has become standard here at Melba Swintex, it’s no surprise that the Q-Sign is our number one seller in Traffic Signs.

Melba Swintex have also recently invested into the purchase of another Q-Sign manufacturing machine and plan to take delivery within a few weeks time. Forever striving to better lead times and provide a higher quality product.

Q-Sign - Brand It.

The entire Q-Sign range can be printed with corporate branding along the side, or top, so that any Q-Signs that do go off wandering can easily be identified before finishing on site.

Q-Sign Range

What size to go for? There are 6 standard sizes of Q-Sign to choose from, as well as a few bespoke sizes. All in conformance with Chapter 8 – The Traffic Signs Manual.

Q-Weight

For additional weight, 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.
