5.76 Tonne Concrete Ballast Block

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.

Our 5760kg Concrete Ballast Block is a heavy-duty concrete ballast block that is designed to provide superior strength, durability and stability to many applications. The primary function of the 5760kg block is to provide substantial counterweight, counteracting wind forces and preventing structures from tipping or swaying. It excels in securing temporary structures like scaffolding, marquees, and hoarding, particularly in situations where high winds pose a significant threat. When strategically placed, these blocks act as anchors, ensuring the complete stability of these temporary installations, protecting workers and equipment below.

However, the capabilities of the 5760kg block extend far beyond temporary applications. Its immense weight makes it perfect 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 themselves securing structures in harsh environments.

The design of the 5760kg block prioritises both effectiveness and user-friendliness. Solid precast concrete construction ensures a uniform and robust structure, capable of withstanding the significant forces it's designed to counter. The block boasts flat sides for easy placement and stacking, streamlining the installation process, especially when working with multiple blocks for larger projects.

Unlike some ballast blocks that utilise a Lego-like design, the 5760kg block relies on its sheer weight and strategic positioning for stability. This eliminates potential weak points that could compromise the block's integrity and allows for faster deployment and easier removal when the job is complete.
