Are you ready to see the new standard in urban traffic management?

The Melba Swintex Urban Sign System has officially launched 🚦

Our latest innovation is now ready to revolutionise urban traffic control.

Hassle-free installation is at the core of its design. Whether you’re dealing with one or two posts, the Urban Sign ensures the setup of sign faces with 300mm and 450mm hole centres is a breeze.

Stability is another key aspect we’ve prioritised. You won’t need to worry about shaky signs or toppling barriers. The Urban Sign Base firmly stacks, allowing the use of multiple bases.

Plus, we understand space is a luxury in urban areas. That’s why the Urban Sign Post is compatible with a wide assortment of existing bases. Combine the Urban Sign with our other products like our V-Fence for an optimised, space-conscious traffic management solution.

The Urban Sign Post and Base don’t just control traffic, they can also become an emblem of your brand, thanks to the customisable colours and the opportunity for corporate branding.

Upgrade your sign posts and bases with the Urban Sign System by Melba Swintex.

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.

Manufactured with high-precision, high-quality, and from completely recycled material, the skirt indicates the start and end of the Ramp, increasing safety on site.

Two skirts on the underside of the skirt provide additional grip to the road and pavement surface, preventing any potential skidding out of place.

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.

CityWall Red White Barrier with DoubleTop Products

Introducing the all New CityWall

A first from Melba Swintex and a first for the Traffic Management sector, the CityWall is a 2 metre Water filled separator with one key feature – an innovational twin-colour option never seen before in the industry, providing the ultimate brand identity on worksites and the like.

STRUCTURE

At 2m in length and 0.8m in height, the CityWall is suited to heavy-duty, long-term projects. With high-impact, ultraviolet, and all-weather resistance, the CityWall is capable to withstand the test of time.

JUST ADD WATER

Highly detailed strengthening features allow the blow-moulded body to withstand great pressures. This detail allows for the capacity of up to 250 litres, resulting in at least an additional 250 kg of weight.

FILLING

A heavy-duty cap found on either side of the body allows entry for a standard bowser nozzle allowing for a quick and easy fill.

EMBOSSING

Featuring our largest embossing area to date, either side can be branded with corporate logos and any additional detail required.

Bolt that connect top to bottom of the CityWall

FIXING

7 points of connection using highly robust steel bolts guarantee strength and longevity of the CityWall.

COMPATIBILITY

If 0.8m in height isn’t enough, then the CityWall can be extended to 1.35 m and 1.8 m respectively via the addition of both the DoubleTop and Mini DoubleTop from Melba Swintex. Hole centres seen throughout the entire Separator range ensure compatibility amongst existing products. These two products also allow further customisation emphasizing brand identity throughout.

Melba 46 Cone with No Waiting and Euro Band Cones

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.

Ramp Up Your Access

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.
