Step Block Struts offer critical protection for temporary fencing installations in theft-prone or high-risk environments. Engineered to lock panels in place, these devices are an essential anti-lift measure, preventing unauthorised access by deterring tampering or removal of fencing sections. Their sturdy design fits seamlessly with HERMEQ’s fencing infrastructure.
Each strut slots beneath a rubber foot and hooks onto the fencing coupler. This dual attachment method stops the panel from being raised, delivering added peace of mind for contractors, site managers, and event organisers.
- Anti-lift security – Prevents fencing panels from being lifted or stolen.
- Durable construction – Made from galvanised steel for rust and weather resistance.
- Secure mounting – Locks between rubber foot and coupler for tamper-proof setup.
- Fast installation – No specialist tools required to deploy across fencing layouts.
- Trusted design – Compatible with HERMEQ accessories for cohesive perimeter security.
Metal fencing can be vulnerable to manipulation if not properly anchored. The Step Block Strut solves this by eliminating the lift point entirely. Positioned between a rubber foot and a coupler, it turns temporary fencing into a robust, interconnected barrier against intrusion or panel theft.
This solution is particularly effective for unattended sites, weekend projects or vacant property enclosures. By adding a physical constraint to the lift angle, it ensures that panels can only be removed by disassembling other connected elements, slowing down any attempt at breach or vandalism.
Whether you’re protecting tools and assets or securing perimeters from unauthorised access, these struts offer a low-cost, high-impact reinforcement method. Easy to deploy and long-lasting thanks to galvanised coating, they are ideal for reuse across multiple job sites.
HERMEQ stock a wide-range of Accessories, Temporary Fencing, Mesh Fencing & Permanent Fencing conforming to all required safety specifications and regulations.
