When it comes to securing events, construction projects, and temporary structures, flexibility and reliability are essential. The Kentledge multi block is engineered to meet these demands, providing dependable concrete ballast designed for a wide range of applications. From structural support to signage, truss systems, and lighting installations, Block Aids’ Kentledge multi block delivers dependable performance every time. The multi-block, 1000kg (1000x1000x500mm), has been through extensive testing including scaffold pole test where the multi-blocks highest load capacity was confirmed at 11KN. How can our bespoke multi blocks support your setup? What Size Are The Truss Plate Connections on the Multi Blocks? One of the first things people ask us is: what size are the truss plate connections? It’s a crucial detail, especially when integrating ballast into staging or structural frameworks. Our Kentledge multi blocks are designed with practicality in mind. The truss plates are typically set to a 240mm centre square and can be bolted onto the top of the blocks upon request. These truss plates work seamlessly with a wide range of industry-standard truss systems, ensuring compatibility without the need for complex modifications on-site. Bespoke truss plates can also be offered, upon request, for customers who require specific sizes. Can I Connect Signage To The Kentledge Multi Blocks? Signage is another area where flexibility is essential. Naturally, people ask: can I connect signage to the Kentledge multi blocks? The answer is yes: we’ve specifically designed our system to accommodate this. With directional signage plates and compatibility with scaffold pole fixings, meaning our Kentledge multi blocks make it easy to create clear, professional displays. It’s worth noting how adaptable our multi blocks are. Whether you’re setting up wayfinding signs at an event or promotional boards in a public space, the combination of scaffold fixings and signed and truss compatibility ensures a stable and reliable installation. How Many Kentledge Weights Will I Need? Planning is key, which is why we’re often asked: how many Kentledge weights will I need? The answer depends on several factors, including the size of your structure, wind exposure, ground conditions and the type of installation. For example, a large outdoor stage or festival signage will require more ballast than a smaller indoor setup. If you are unsure on the weight you require we would advise that you speak to a structural engineer or structure manufacturer. When you ask yourself how many Kentledge weights you will need, it’s important to think beyond just weight. Our 1000kg fully stackable blocks allow you to build the exact configuration required, giving you both flexibility and precision. Can I Connect Flag Poles To The Kentledge Multi Blocks? A popular application for our systems is event infrastructure, which leads to our customers asking the question: can I connect flag poles to the Kentledge multi blocks? Yes, you can, and it’s one of the most effective uses of our multi-block system. With dedicated flag pole sleeves designed to fit standard scaffold poles, attaching flag poles is straightforward and secure. These sleeves are ideal for festivals, outdoor promotions and temporary installations where visibility matters.
