KENTLEDGE BLOCKS FAQ
How quickly can your kentledge blocks be with me?
We offer a fast and reliable delivery service, day and night. Please contact us for more information.
How many weights will i need?
This is one of our most commonly asked questions. Here’s how to find out…
Begin with the manufacturer (or supplier) of your marquee or temporary structure, who will have a recommended ‘safe weight per leg’ calculation for their structure. However, advise should be sought from your site or event’s structural engineer.
Once you have an idea of the weight required for each support point, we can advise you of the best combination of weights to fulfil that requirement. When considering this, it is also sensible to consider the location and weather forecast too, just in case!
How many blocks can I have delivered at once?
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 approximately:
- 135 x 200KG ballast blocks
- 54 x 500KG ballast blocks
- 27 x 1000KG ballast blocks
If Block Aid unload the blocks at site we can carry 22,000 KG, which equates to approximately:
- 110 x 200KG ballast blocks
- 44 x 500KG ballast blocks
- 22 x 1000KG ballast blocks
This load may be reduced if the HIAB or a JCB is required.
How do i position the blocks once your driver has left?
Our driver will supply you with one of our specially made pump trucks to move the ballast blocks into their final positions.
Do you have anything to cover the concrete blocks?
Yes! We can supply black or white covers for our blocks from the 100kg size through to and including the 1000kg ballast block. We also have white covers for our 1000kg Kentledge blocks.
Do you have straps?
Yes, we can supply black or white straps, which are 3 metres long.
How are the blocks collected?
Blocks will be collected from the point of delivery at the end of the hire period.
WHAT SIZE ARE THE TRUSS PLATE CONNECTIONS?
The Truss base plates are set to 200mm Centre Square, however, we can add more bullet holes drilled where required. The plates come attached to the blocks on delivery, with the bullets ready to clip the Truss to.
