Since 1986, the one-piece traffic cone has been a staple of the Melba Swintex product range and has defined the Traffic Management sector. The high-demand for the 1-Piece Cone family has never been as high, and it is therefore with great delight that Melba Swintex introduce the Brand-New MELBA 46 Cone.
Thorough research into manufacturing processes and high-durability materials has resulted in the highest of quality 1-Piece Cone the industry has ever seen, with the improvement in design resulting in 500 pcs per pallet.
Improving lead times with the purchase of new injection moulding machinery has vastly improved production speeds on the 1-Piece Cone family.
Utilising a blend of ultra grade recycled material, the MELBA46 provides a lightweight and durable, cost-effective Traffic Cone in all options..
MPL75
With the introduction of new machinery, it has also been possible to double the production for the 1-Piece MPL75 Cone. By focusing on improving manufacturing techniques, production lead times have been vastly improved with customer satisfaction being key.
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.
TURN YOUR IDEA INTO REALITY
Think we’re missing a product? Then get in touch!
Our Custom Mouldings solution allows you to turn your idea into reality from the very start.
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.

We were recently delighted to be sent images from one of our Exports customers of an installation they had erected in Belgium. The images speak for themselves, but display one of the many uses for our heavy-duty and highly robust Boss Hog Barrier system and thought we had to share.
The Boss Hog
The Boss Hog is a combination of an extremely sturdy single-piece hollow body, and an incredibly heavy duty base, which provide a completely stable temporary fencing system perfect for events and busy areas.
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.
For more information on Wind Speed Classes, and how we successfully tested the Gate Barrier at the only full-scale wind tunnel within the UK, click here.
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.
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*.
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.

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.
