The Wates Ballast Hoarding System is a heavy-duty ground-based stabilisation setup engineered to improve the wind resistance of HERMEQ metal fencing and hoarding systems. With twin ballast trays and a sloping stabiliser arm, this all-in-one kit ensures security, safety, and long-term resilience without ground penetration or mechanical fixings.
It’s ideal for projects needing flexible positioning, including inner-city works, phased developments, or perimeter protection over uneven surfaces. The system locks into place using a coupler that integrates both hoarding panels and anti-lift components.
- Double tray configuration - Allows flexible ballast placement for uneven gradients.
- Sloped galvanised brace - Stabiliser connects 2/3 up the hoarding panels for optimal resistance.
- Integrated foot with bracket - One unit delivers support, lifting prevention, and structural base.
- Modular deployment - Rapid setup with no ground fixing required.
- Visual finish - Black steel provides a discreet look with industrial-grade strength.
Built for high-performance fencing stability, the Wates Ballast System offers a complete support solution for HERMEQ hoarding systems. It prevents tipping and movement in adverse conditions, ensuring public and contractor safety throughout the life of the project. The system was developed to meet strict standards of a major UK contractor, Wates, and has become a preferred standard across large sites and sensitive boundaries.
The rear tray sits 1.5m behind the base of the hoarding panels. The front tray is fully adjustable, offering flexible weight distribution for irregular terrain or curved fencing lines. These trays accept standard HERMEQ ballast blocks and can be easily repositioned as required.
At the centre of the system is a galvanised stabilising arm which connects high up the hoarding panels and slopes back into the rear tray. This angled bracing design maximises the system’s structural integrity. Paired with the anti-trip foot, which doubles as a lift-prevention anchor, the system delivers unmatched protection against wind failure or tampering.
Each element of the system works in unison to provide a rigid, non-invasive anchorage method for metal fencing lines. It supports modular growth for sites expanding perimeter boundaries over time and removes the need for ground excavation. From live construction zones to long-term infrastructure projects, the system ensures compliance and continuity across all hoarding configurations.
HERMEQ stock a wide-range of Steel Site Hoarding, Temporary Fencing, Permanent Fencing & Road Barriers conforming to all required safety specifications and regulations.
