Step Block (filled)

A highly visible ballast block to increase stability and safety to temporary fences

Building in high-wind areas means proper fence stabilisation is of utmost importance to help safety in and around the building site. When building in an urban area with a minimum amount of room available the Heras step block will be a more then fine solution. The Step Block is designed to fit over your temporary fence feet. Each block is filled with concrete to increase the weight and the stability of your temporary fence. The highly visible yellow step blocks can be easily stacked to increase the weight on the fences and increase wind loading performance.

Minimum effort to use the Heras Step Block

Most stabilising products require some installation time. Most stabilising blocks, for example, have to be lifted and positioned with a mechanical aid. That means you will have to use extra equipment and personnel to increase the stability of your temporary fences. The step block, however, can be installed in a number of minutes. That is because the step block has two easy handle holes so two construction workers can easily lift it. One step block weighs no more than 44 kilos which means it is ideal for two people to install. This does not only saves a lot of effort, but it also saves you a significant amount of time.

Ballast blocks with maximum security

When filled with concrete, the Step Block can apply a significant amount of weight to the footing of your temporary fences. This helps you to use the right ballast and prevent your fences from falling over, either when you are working in a high-wind area or a crowded place where people are pushing against and pulling on the fences. In high-risk areas, safety is easily improved by stacking up multiple Step Blocks on top of each other. Since they take up minimum space and are highly visible because of their vibrant yellow colour, there is a minimum trip hazard. For those reasons, the Step Block can effectively help you to prevent accidents from happening and avoid damage to your temporary fences.
