Rediweld install BusPad across the UK

Since launching the revised BusPad in April this year, Rediweld has been working hard to promote this new version. Successful installations have taken place all over the UK including Reading, Dorset, Boston, Conwy, Worcester, Derby with many more locations still waiting to be installed. The BusPad was recently installed at a location in Derby where they wanted to achieve a temporary raised area for their Park & Ride scheme. The BusPad was installed within 45 minutes and was immediately used upon completion.

Bournemouth Borough Council needed a solution to raise the kerb height for the bus users at Boscombe bus station but did not want to replace their existing bus shelters. As a solution we were able to install the BusPad within the shelters offering the additional raised area required with minimum disruption to the users and public. Boscombe now has four BusPads located within the bus station. After this successful installation we can now offer the BusPad as a bespoke service for bus shelters and standard solutions.

BusPad is proving to be a practical low cost alternative to Kassel kerbs. It can be supplied in different sizes to suit each location. The greatest benefit is the speed of installation and minimised disruption. Features of the revised design include a fine leading edge on the ramps and corners, this eliminates any trip hazard. The unique fixing system secures BusPad to most surfaces and uses a new anchor block made from supertough nylon. By moulding the anchor blocks in white they are used to highlight the flat top area on the raised platform.

BusPad is 65mm high and so raises a normal pavement to typically 170 - 190mm above the road.

The Rediweld web site was created by SiteWeave Internet Services LLP.

MouseMesh now sold in Euros

MouseMesh is a metal mesh that can be fitted over air bricks - the small mesh size ensures that mice can no longer enter your premises through an air brick. The mesh size is so small - 2mm by 2mm - that many small insect pests are also barred from entry!

MouseMesh is available in three sizes which can be purchased from the MouseMesh web site - and you can also buy an adhesive which is recommended for use in fixing the mesh to a wall if you don't wish to use screws.

SiteWeave Internet Services LLP wrote the MouseMesh web site some time ago and have seen a steady increase in the number of visits to the site, and MouseMesh have seen a steady increase in sales to clients in the UK.

Encouraged by enquiries from Europe, Tony Carr of MouseMesh requested SiteWeave to create pages and a PayPal shopping basket so that MouseMesh can be bought in Euros. These pages and shopping basket were launched today.

Atlas Trailers feature in Land Rover Monthly

Atlas Trailers, who sell Atlas trailers and hire Atlas trailers, feature in the December edition of The Land Rover Magazine. Lindsay Porter who wrote the article recently chose an Atlas Trailer.

Lindsay points out that being able to hire the trailer that you are interested in is a good move as you can try it out under real world conditions before you buy. Atlas Trailers have a extensive trailer hire arm to their business and this has proved a real advantage in promoting the now well regarded Atlas Tipping Trailer.

Lindsay outlines some of the pitfalls in buying a trailer, especially cheap imported American boat trailers and goes on to discuss buying livestock trailers, horseboxes, boat trailers and tipping trailers.

Also discussed in the article is 'Using the Atlas Trailer'. Lindsay writes: "Clive Ballard, the man behind Atlas Trailers, demonstrates the Atlas Tipper's versatility. A single spanner is used to loosen or tighten each pinch bolt holding each upright in place ..."

The article also includes a very useful check list on buying a second hand trailer, offering 15 areas to check before making a decision. Legal requirements are covered, both for towing a trailer and for the construction of the trailer itself.

Our thanks go to Land Rover Monthly and Lindsay Porter for allowing us to reproduce parts of their article on choosing a trailer.

SiteWeave Internet Services LLP wrote both Atlas Trailer web sites and are delighted with the additional publicity provided by this prestigious magazine.
