Description

Why use 1 Ton Concrete Hoarding Blocks

Hoarding blocks, also known as Kentledge blocks or Kelly blocks, serve various practical purposes in construction and temporary structures. Let’s explore why they are used:

Site Hoarding and Fencing:
Stability and Rigidity: Securing one side of a fence or hoarding with hoarding blocks provides immense stability and rigidity, even when structures face severe wind loads. The effectiveness of these blocks allows support to be applied to one side only, leaving the face completely clear, unobstructed, and visually pleasing.

Scaffolding:
Secure Anchorage: Kentledge blocks offer 100% secure anchorage for scaffolding, including sheeted structures. By adding mass to the structure, they enhance rigidity. The anchor blocks can be mechanically integrated into the framework, ensuring stability

Rigging and Stageworks:
Counterweights: Kentledge blocks serve as ideal counterweights on cantilevered structures. Their heavy weight provides robust support on minimal footprints. They are useful for rigging staging, lighting gantries, or other tubular structures. When structures have sheet cladding, the blocks can be integrated into the core structure without affecting the exterior visually.

Marquees and Events:
Anchorage for Marquees: Anchor blocks can be strapped to the main support guys, eliminating the need for pegging during hard surface marquee erections. This feature is particularly useful for events on surfaces where pegs cannot be driven into the ground1.

Cranes and Towers:
Stabilization for Cranes: Kentledge weight blocks provide stabilization for large cranes. Their mass helps counterbalance the crane’s movements during lifting operations.

Test Weights:
Concrete Test Weights: These high-quality and reliable concrete kelly blocks can also serve as test weights or ballast weights. They are designed to be securely stacked, allowing for easy adjustment of weight as needed1.

In summary, hoarding blocks play a crucial role in ensuring stability, safety, and efficient construction practices across various industries. Whether it’s securing fences, supporting scaffolding, or providing counterweights, these blocks contribute to the success of temporary structures and projects.
