Please Note: You will need 2x pair of Deha Lifting Clutch Shackles (sold separately) to safely manoeuvre this ballast block. The lifting clutch shackles can be removed and reused on different ballast blocks.
Made from durable concrete, the 2400kg block boasts a hefty weight that makes its very effective at counterbalancing. This makes it ideal for securing temporary structures like scaffolding, marquees, hoarding and temporary fencing.
During construction projects, scaffolding needs a solid foundation to prevent collapse. Hoarding, which surrounds construction sites or used for events, requires ballast blocks to withstand wind gusts that could otherwise topple the panels. Similarly, marquees, often used for events, need ballast to resist wind and ensure the safety of people inside.
The applications extend beyond temporary solutions. The 2400kg block's strength makes it suitable for permanent installations as well. These blocks can be used for façade retention, providing crucial support for building exteriors during construction or renovation projects. They also find their way into marine environments, serving as sinker blocks, mooring weights, and anchors for buoys. The low-carbon concrete mix used in their construction is formulated to withstand the corrosive effects of saltwater.
The benefits of the 2400kg concrete ballast block go beyond its impressive weight. Due to its precast nature, the block is manufactured off-site in a controlled environment. This ensures consistent quality and reduces on-site work, leading to faster project completion.
Additionally, the flat sides and chamfered edges make it easy to handle and maneuver during installation. Chamfered edges, which are slightly angled corners, offer two advantages: they create a more aesthetically pleasing profile and reduce the risk of damage during handling.
The 2400kg concrete ballast block is a reliable and cost-effective solution for a wide range of applications. Its simple design, robust construction, and impressive weight make it a workhorse in the world of temporary and permanent stabilisation.
