16kg Barrier Ballast Block

Altrad Generation's 16kg Barrier Ballast Block is a heavy-duty, concrete-filled stabiliser with a durable plastic coating designed for safe, long-term use in both construction and public environments. This block offers dependable barrier ballast for crowd control or Pedestrian Barriers, Temporary Fencing and Hoarding Systems, especially in high-traffic or wind-prone zones. With dimensions of 440mm (L) x 115mm (W) x 335mm (H) and a weight of 16kg, each unit delivers substantial stability without compromising on ease of handling. The plastic coating protects the block from weathering and reduces damage to surfaces during deployment. The integrated handle makes manual handling straightforward for on-site crews.

Commonly used to stabilise crowd control barriers at public events, construction perimeters, and roadworks, these ballast blocks are also fully compatible with Temporary Fencing Panels, Hoarding Systems, and Fence Stabilisers from the Altrad Generation range of Fencing and Hoarding.
