The Melba Swintex Wheelchair Ramp, formerly known as the Kerb Buddy (hopefully a more successful rebrand than Twitter) has had a makeover. Now supplied by default, the Ramp is pre-fitted with four heavy-duty skirts that not only provide additional anti-slip support, but also allow for better anchorage upon deployment.

Each skirt sits securely flush with the outer surface of the Ramp so as not to pose a trip hazard, whilst at the same time providing additional grip to whichever materials come into contact.

Postman Barrier System
THE POSTMAN SYSTEM

Transformed throughout the years and regarded as a classic in the world of temporary barriers, our Postman system strives on to provide solutions to the Utility Sector. Continuous improvements in manufacturing quality result in a robust system with a fast-manufacturing turnaround.

The system can be colour coded to brand colours, as well as each part having the ability to be branded with contractors information. Minimum runs apply.

Postman Barrier Base
THE BASE

The Postman Base is the corner stone to the Postman system. By providing 4 kg in weight each time, and by having a reasonably sized footprint, stability is provided for the standard system setup. Manufactured from 100% recycled material, which is also 100% completely recyclable.

Postman Barrier Plank
THE PLANK

Available in 3 lengths, the Postman Plank is superior in strength than a standard uPVC Plank. Smart detailed design has resulted in a high impact resistant product, allowing for a much greater life span. Blow moulded from Virgin materials, which are 100% recyclable.

Postman Barrier Post
THE POST

The Postman Post is blow moulded from 100% Virgin material, which is 100% recyclable. The tessellated profile at the base allows for a smart and secure fit into the Postman Base, this also provides great strength. A small lip is present at the top which allows a secure fit for a lamp if desired.

Boss Barrier

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.

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are non-conductive, and contain no sharp areas that could cause serious harm, the Boss brings a modern touch to an outdated system.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.

Recent weather has seen torrential downpours and high-strength winds that have resulted in damaged properties and uprooted trees. This unpredictable weather has brought unpredictable results, and what better way to ensure the stability of your temporary barriers than with the use of the Melba Swintex Heavy Duty Footplates, as well as our extensive range of Bases?

The New KG-Base is the latest addition to the Heavy-Duty Base collection. Providing a 25kg Ballast with a variety of hole locations for multiple layouts.  2 areas for personalised company identification and an ergonomically designed handle to ease handling.

The 25kg Footplate supplies a substantial ballast to various traffic marking products. 5 separate hole locations provide multifunctional use, as well as 2 areas for personalised company identification. 4 easy-carry handles allow a smooth transition from the work vehicle to the installation site.

The 28kg Footplate is the big brother to the 25kg, with almost identical features, whilst also providing that little bit of extra weight for peace of mind. As well as incorporating features to secure standard beacon sizes seen throughout Europe, the Footplate features a housing compartment for any loose batteries if required.

Need something a little lighter? The Fence Base MKII is suited for the mobile fencing market. Supplying a weight of up to 18kg, and 16 standardised holes ensures suitability for most construction jobs.

The Road Rock provides an impressive 15kg each, as well as a vast selection of uses. Its primary use is as a ballast to the Melba Swintex Barrier range, keeping them upright in Class A wind speeds.

For additional weight onto our Q-Sign range, 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.
