This depends on your preference and needs, such as wether you would like the barriers joined together in a continuous line, or spaced apart? For example, if you have a 15 metre frontage that you would like to protect and you’d like the blocks to be secured together, you would need 6 x MKI RDBs or 5 x MKII RDBs.
To work out how many Concrete Barrier Blocks you need, measure the area you wish to protect and divide it by the length of the blocks you’d like to use.
Our MKI barrier blocks are 2.5m wide and can be linked using the bracket at the end of each block, which holds the blocks together to form a solid barrier.
Our MKII barrier blocks are 3m wide and can be locked together using bespoke security nuts. Assembly and removal requires a specialised tool that is exclusive to Block Aid UK.

If the customer can unload the vehicle at site, we can deliver a maximum weight of 27,000 KG on a single artic lorry. This equates to 12 x MKI RDBs or 11 x MKII RDB’s.
If Block Aid unload the blocks at site we can carry 22,000 KG, which equates to 10 x MKI RDBs or 9 MKII RDBs. This load may be reduced if the HIAB or a JCB is required.
Yes! Our HIAB crane truck, JCBs or Moffett trucks can service virtually any on or off-road terrain and place the blocks to suit your requirements. You will need to be the land owner (or acting agent) and the blocks cannot restrict access to any public rights of way).
It is the customers’ responsibility to ensure the site is accessible to the vehicles requested.
For ongoing or regular access we can install a lockable, slidable gate in-between two of the blocks.
For one off or ad-hoc occasions, we can attend site and move the barrier blocks to allow for access and replace them once works are complete. This is charged at pre-agreed rate.
Our concrete barrier blocks will be collected from the point of delivery at the end of the hire period.
