Keep your event grounded.
Ballast systems secure your ground-supported structures. This is especially important for outdoor stages that are subject to winds, and offset structures like delay towers and video hangs.
Different types of ballasts have their own strengths, useful for different situations. The three main types we carry are concrete ballasts, water ballasts, and UNI-BLOCs (which come in two different sizes).
Concrete Ballasts
Concrete ballasts are large concrete blocks that must be moved by forklift – often by anchoring to a top rebar anchor point with steel and straps. Although anchor points are common, concrete ballasts can come both with and without these them.
Concrete ballasts work well in places where, once they are placed, they won’t need to be moved until loadout. This includes places such as next to a stage, outside of the stage footprint, or on planks in your stage baseout, near where vertical towers will be placed.
