ALL NEW Driveway Board from Melba Swintex

The Driveway Board is the first blow moulded board of its type. Tested under strict laboratory conditions, the board has been approved to the current HAUC specification. As well as it’s great strength and durability, the board is also 100% recyclable.

Sophisticated design on the underside of the board, complete with high-strength bars supply additional strength resulting in the board capable of supporting heavy loads. With the addition of a deavy-duty PVC skirt that adds unparalleled grip to prevent movement of the board.

All materials used on the driveway board are 100% recyclable. By using Melba Swintex closed-loop recycling this eliminates sending the boards to landfill, each Driveway Board when recycled, can be used to manufacture new products, cone bases, or even a new skirt for another Driveway Board.

With safety at the forefront, careful research & design has been focused on the top surface pattern to ensure the best distribution of detail to allow a good grip for both footwear and tyres. Directional arrows have also been implemented to communicate the correct orientation of the board.

Tested in accordance with the latest HAUC regulations, the Driveway Board can withstand a full working load of 875 kgs with minimal deflection, & up to 1750 kgs with no sign of failure, over a trench span of 700mm.

MINIMAL LEAD TIMES – GET THEM HERE FIRST

The Gate Barrier is one of the original Chapter 8 barriers on the market, and our most popular barrier ever. These past few months we have invested heavily in new tooling which has seen lead times for the Gate massively reduced.

So get your orders in ready for all of those upcoming events we can all once again enjoy!

Connection from barrier to barrier is quick and simple with an easy drop and secure solution, that allows for uneven ground and varying kerb heights.

Four Location lugs within the windows of the barrier allow for the attachment of a courtesy sign, providing the option for extra information if required.

Various customisation options are available for the barriers, including bespoke colours and corporate identification embossed onto the front of the barrier.

Like with all Melba Swintex barriers, there is an abundance of heavy-duty foot options as well as methods for ballasting for those high wind speed applications.

Thor & Hammer go All Plastic

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

It is the known standard for barrier systems to be 2 metres in length, however sometimes this footprint is a little too large, and a more compact system is required when space is key. Available on the market for quite some time now is our 1m Stacca Barrier, but now for the first time, we have upgraded the system to include a variant for our 2m Gate barrier – our bestselling barrier to date. This allows the 1m Barrier complete compatibility with the entire Melba Swintex Barrier range.

1M STACCA

The 1m Stacca variant incorporates the use of our S-Clip feature which allows compatibility with a range of our barriers such as: Master, Tuff, Olympic, and Buddha. As well as other barrier systems currently available.

FEATURES

The only difference on the 1m Barrier is its method of connection, other than that all features are identical. Including the functionality for a Courtesy Sign that can be centrally attached to provide information to the public if required.

1M GATE

The 1m Gate variant incorporates a Hook & Eye system identical to the 2m Gate Barrier system. This allows a quick an easy connection when deploying barrier, as well as maintaining connection on uneven ground.

DID YOU KNOW?

One of our specialities is on temporary Pedestrian Barrier and restraint systems, with a vast supply of solutions available. This includes a selection of Chapter 8 Barriers, Separators, barriers for Non-Highway use, and restraint systems for the International market.

Black as standard with Corporate Branding and various all-through colour options available*.

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.

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.

Our range of separators are ideal for creating that perfect divide and have been rigorously implemented up and down the country in aid of social distancing. Offering a complete range of varying heights, with self-weighted or water filled options, our range will suit your requirements.

ROAD ROCK

The Road Rock is a 15kg low-level, self-weighted base that easily connects both horizontally and vertically, whilst allowing angular movement. Think of a mini roundabout.

ROAD RUNNER

The Road Runner implements the same tail connection, however, is greater in height at 0.6m and features 2 heavy-duty wheels at the rear allowing for easier movability.

HOG600

The HOG600 is a water-filled, blow moulded separator capable of holding a whopping 55 litres of water and then some. If it falls a little short, the Mini-DoubleTop can be fitted to hit that 1m height.

BUDDHA

The Buddha barrier, aptly named for the belly, is a completely anti-trip water-filled barrier at 0.8m in height, and capable of taking the DoubleTop range. Reflective can also be added for greater visual indication.

WONDERWALL

The WonderWall, at 1m in height, this self-weighted barrier is a favourite within the street works sector. With various options for branding, and a tough strong connection, you are guaranteed to implement that social distance.

DOUBLETOP & MINI

The DoubleTop and Mini-DoubleTop add that little bit of extra height to a variety of the separator range restricting access even further.

Ø45MM

Four location points measuring at 45mm in diameter allow compatibility with the Thor and Hammer Barrier range, as well as other heavy duty barriers seen globally.
