20kg Safe Lift Ballast Block

Designed for both stability and safety, the 20kg Safe Lift Ballast Block ensures secure Temporary Fencing while supporting safe manual handling. Weighing just 20kg, the blocks can be lifted and positioned by a single person, complying with one-man lift guidelines and reducing the risk of injury.

Safe-Lift blocks are stackable, so multiple units can be piled securely for extra stability when needed. The blocks work seamlessly with the Ballast Block Stabiliser, Fence Stabilisers (HSG151) Small and Loading Trays, providing flexible solutions for a variety of Temporary Fencing configurations. The Safe Lift is a lightweight, easier-to-handle alternative to the 50kg Ballast Block without compromising fence stability.

The bright plastic coating increases visibility on site, reducing trip hazards, while ergonomic features allow safe lifting and positioning. By choosing Safe Lift, contractors can demonstrate proactive Health & Safety compliance and reduce potential injuries related to heavy lifting.

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 Site Fencing

  • Lower risk of injury linked to heavier blocks

  • Maintain effective ground level ballast

    

Designed for Practical Site Fencing Stability

Temporary Fencing and Site Fencing systems require ground level weight to resist wind pressure and 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

Heavier blocks increase lift strain and require greater effort per movement. 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

  • Improve team installation efficiency

  • Support safer working practices

  

Enhanced Stability With Additional Products

You strengthen Temporary Fencing by combining ballast blocks with approved stabilising components.

For enhanced performance, you:

  • Use compatible Fence Feet

  • Add Stabilisers where required

  • Increase ballast quantity in high wind zones

  • Conduct regular perimeter inspections

   

Durable Construction For Repeated Site Use

Altrad Generation manufactures the 20kg Safe Lift Ballast Block from reinforced concrete designed for outdoor environments and repeated repositioning.

You gain:

  • Manageable 20kg unit weight

  • Durable construction for long service life

  • Compatibility with standard Temporary Fencing systems

  • Reliable ground level support
