Gate Barrier
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!

Gate Connection
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.

Gate Courtesy Sign
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.

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

Gate Ballast Options

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.

1m Gate
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 Connection
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.

1m Barrier Features
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 Connection
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.

Cylinders That Like to Flex Their Stuff

Melba Swintex Cylinders
The Cylinder range from Melba Swintex is a quick-to-install, simple solution for a temporary walkway, cycle lane, or similar. The highly durable Cats-Eye Base secures into the ground, and with a simple twist, the cylinder is locked into position. All cylinders come supplied with a highly prismatic sleeve which gives a complete 360° visual indication, with the option of custom printing if desired.

Swinbac
SWINBAC

 

A self-righting Cylinder with little to no maintenance required. The construction at the base of each Swinbac Cylinder implements an elastic banding housed within a tough and durable chamber. When the Cylinder is hit at with force, the elastic allows the Cylinder to flex over on itself, and then immediately self-right to its vertical position.

Kingpin
KINGPIN

 

A lightweight cylinder that is perfect for managing the direction of traffic. Manufactured to be tough and durable, with little to no maintenance. The Kingpin is the simplest of Cylinders, designed to release when struck with impact, which can then easily be reinstalled once again. A permanent lock can also be implemented if required.

Flexi
FLEXI

 

The Flexi Cylinder is a one-piece Cylinder that is capable to self-right when struck with force. Its concertina like design allows material to compress at the base of the Cylinder from any angle, then due to the memory of the material, returns to its original form.

ARIANE & PHOENIX

 

The Ariane implements the twist-lock mechanism seen on the existing Cylinder range allowing the Cylinder to be locked into the Melba Swintex Cats-Eye Base, whereas the Phoenix has a flat base bundled with a locking bolt and nut. Handles have been implemented to allow greater grip for when attaching the Cylinders to their base, as well as the option to emboss with company branding.

All Cats-Eye Bases can be supplied with anchor bolts, or adhesive pads to ease the installation.

Instructions for installation can be found on our website here.
