50kg Ballast Blocks

Designed to fit securely over Standard Fence Feet, the 50kg Ballast Blocks provide a straightforward, effective method to add weight and stability to Temporary Fencing and Hoarding. The stackable design allows multiple blocks to be securely piled, increasing weight as site conditions require. With its bright plastic coating, the block improves site safety by enhancing visibility and protecting the concrete core from weather damage. A durable top cap prevents dirt and debris from contaminating the interior, while ergonomic handles enable safer and easier handling during installation or repositioning. Compatible with most common Temporary Fence Bases, this ballast block is ideal for construction sites, events, and any scenario demanding reliable perimeter stability.

 

Key Features & Benefits:

  • Size: These Ballast Blocks measure at 607mm (L) x 282mm (H) x 315mm (W).

  • Weight: Each block weighs 50kg.  

  • Stackable Design: The blocks are designed to stack securely on top of each other, allowing you to increase the overall weight and stability as needed. This stackable feature provides flexibility to meet the demands of different job sites or weather conditions.

  • High-Visibility Plastic Coating: Safety is a top priority, which is why the blocks feature a high-visibility plastic coating. This bright colouring ensures the blocks are easily spotted, reducing the risk of trips and falls on the job site. The plastic coating also protects the concrete interior from weathering.

  • Durable Cap Prevents Foreign Objects: The top of each block is fitted with a durable cap that prevents dirt, debris, or other foreign objects from entering the interior cavity. This helps maintain the integrity and cleanliness of the ballast material inside.

  • Compatible With Common Fence Bases: These versatile ballast blocks are designed to fit securely over most standard Temporary Fence Feet or bases used on construction sites. This compatibility ensures easy integration into your existing fencing setup.
