MARQUEE WEIGHT FAQ
We offer a fast and reliable delivery service, day and night. Please contact us for more information.
This question is one of the most commonly asked questions and I’m afraid it is not one we are able to answer. Due to the many variables between structures, terrain, weather conditions etc. you will need to speak to the manufacturer of your product for their recommended ‘safe weight per leg’ calculations and take the location and forecast weather into consideration too. Alternatively you can seek advice from a structural engineer.
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:

This load may be reduced if the HIAB or a JCB is required.
