What are Counterweight Blocks (Kelly Blocks)?

Stabilising Mobile and Temporary Equipment Housings

Mobile equipment housings, such as generators, pumps, control units and plant enclosures, must remain stable under varying operational and environmental conditions. Ballast blocks provide:

  • Secure anchoring without permanent fixings

  • Resistance to movement, vibration and wind loads

  • Reliable support for temporary or relocatable structures

This ensures equipment remains stable, protected and operational.
