The 14kg Barrier Ballast Block is manufactured from HDPE and provides greater downward load than the 10kg Barrier Ballast 10. Designed for use with crowd control barriers, hoarding panels, and temporary fencing, it is the right choice for higher exposure outdoor deployments, heavy temporary works configurations, and applications where you need additional ballast weight to maintain stability. The stackable design allows blocks to be stacked for storage and transport without dedicated racking, reducing handling complexity on site.
The wider compatibility across crowd control barriers, hoarding, and temporary fencing makes it the right choice where multiple temporary works systems are deployed together and you need a single ballast solution across all of them. Compared with the Barrier Ballast 10, the 14kg Block provides a heavier ballast load per unit and a more robust construction suited to longer term outdoor deployments and more demanding site conditions.
The 14kg Block is available from Altrad Generation's branch network for hire and sale, compatible with crowd control barriers, pedestrian barriers, hoarding, and temporary fencing systems. Contact your nearest Altrad Generation branch for availability, pricing, and advice on which ballast block specification is right for your site.

Frequently Asked Questions
Q. What is the 14kg Barrier Ballast Block used for?
A. The 14kg Barrier Ballast Block adds weight and stability to crowd control barriers, hoarding panels, and temporary fencing on hard surfaces and in exposed outdoor environments. It is the heavier alternative to the Barrier Ballast 10. Choose it where you need a higher ballast load, such as open sites with significant wind exposure, heavier barrier configurations, or where you need a single ballast solution across multiple temporary works systems.
Q. Can the 14kg Block be used with hoarding and temporary fencing?
A. Yes. Unlike the Barrier Ballast 10, which is designed specifically for crowd control barriers, the 14kg Barrier Ballast Block is compatible with Altrad Generation's hoarding and temporary fencing systems as well. That makes it the practical choice for sites where barriers, hoarding, and fencing are deployed together and you need a consistent ballast solution across all of them.
Q. What is the difference between the 14kg Block and the Barrier Ballast 10?
A. The 14kg Barrier Ballast Block is an HDPE unit providing 14kg of ballast load. The Barrier Ballast 10 is a 10kg PVC, Plastic, and Carbon Steel unit. The 14kg Block provides more ballast weight and is also compatible with hoarding and temporary fencing in addition to crowd control barriers, making it the more versatile option across a multi system site.
