500kg Concrete Ballast Block

500kg Concrete Ballast Block

Please Note: You will need a pair of M20 lifting loops (sold separately) to safely manoeuvre this ballast block. The M20 lifting loops can be removed and reused on different ballast blocks.

500kg precast concrete ballast blocks offer a robust and versatile option for securing marquees, gazebos, event tents, shipping containers, and various temporary installations.

Manufactured from high-quality C60 concrete, 500kg ballast blocks are built to last. C60 concrete offers exceptional strength and durability, ensuring the blocks can withstand significant weight loads applied by the structures they secure. Unlike water-filled ballast alternatives, concrete blocks are not susceptible to punctures or leaks, eliminating the risk of sudden instability due to content loss.

Measuring 805mm in length, 445mm in width, and 655mm in height, the 500kg concrete ballast block offers a compact and space-saving solution. This size makes it ideal for use in locations with limited space availability, allowing for efficient weight distribution without sacrificing valuable square footage.

A key advantage of 500kg ballast blocks is their ease of use. Unlike traditional cast-in-place concrete weights that require extensive excavation and curing time, these prefabricated units arrive ready for immediate deployment. Their size and weight remain manageable, often allowing for installation without the need for heavy machinery.

The compact design of 500kg ballast blocks allows for efficient storage when not in use. Their stackable nature further optimises space utilisation, making them ideal for rental companies or organisations that deploy temporary structures frequently.

The use of precast concrete construction minimises the environmental impact of 500kg ballast blocks. C60 concrete is a durable material, and the reusable nature of these blocks reduces the need for new materials for each temporary project. Additionally, the elimination of water-filled alternatives helps conserve water resources.C60 concrete is highly weather resistant, able to withstand harsh weather conditions including rain, snow, and strong winds. This ensures the continued stability of the secured structure throughout the duration of the event or project.

Our 500kg Concrete Ballast Block is very low maintenance and the occasional cleaning with water and a brush may be necessary.
