If you manage Temporary Fencing or Site Fencing, ballast selection directly affects stability and manual handling risk. The 20kg Safe Lift Ballast Block provides a controlled, safer alternative to heavier counterweights while maintaining perimeter support.

Altrad Generation’s 20kg Safe Lift Ballast Block is designed for easier lifting, structured installation, and consistent performance across construction and event sites. You improve safety standards while maintaining fencing stability.

Why Choose a 20kg Safe Lift Ballast Block for Temporary Fencing?

Manual handling remains one of the most reported causes of workplace injury in construction and event environments. Reducing individual lift weight lowers strain on operatives.

By specifying the 20kg Safe Lift Ballast Block, you:

  • Reduce manual handling load per lift

  • Improve compliance with site safety policies

  • Support faster installation of Temporary Fencing

  • Lower risk of injury linked to heavier blocks

  • Maintain effective ground level ballast

Designed for Practical Site Fencing Stability

Temporary Fencing systems require ground level weight to resist wind pressure and panel movement. The 20kg Safe Lift Ballast Block fits within compatible fence feet and stabilising trays.

This structured setup helps you:

  • Add controlled weight at panel bases

  • Adjust ballast levels in exposed areas

  • Reconfigure fencing layouts as site conditions change

  • Improve safe handling during installation and dismantling

Safer Handling Compared to Heavier Ballast Options

A 20kg Safe Lift Ballast Block spreads the total required weight across multiple manageable units. Compared to a 50kg block, you reduce individual lift weight, lower fatigue across repeated handling, and improve team installation efficiency.
