Block trays are essential when it comes to stabilising temporary fencing and steel hoarding installations. They form a platform to add ballast weight, preventing fence movement caused by strong winds or site activity. Designed for industrial and construction applications, these trays integrate seamlessly with HERMEQ stabilisers.
Quick to deploy and made from robust 4.0mm steel, they offer a long-lasting, secure solution on any terrain. Suitable for both high-risk and general worksites, they help enforce compliance with safety standards.
- Supports fencing systems – Perfect for mesh security panels and steel hoarding.
- Ballast platform – Holds weight securely to resist movement and uplift.
- Easy installation – Bolts directly to HERMEQ stabilisers for fast deployment.
- Rugged design – 4.0mm steel withstands rough site conditions.
- Flexible use – Suitable for every other or every single fence panel depending on wind load.
Block trays are a cost-effective and versatile addition to any temporary fencing system, especially in construction environments exposed to wind and unpredictable conditions. Their simple design belies their effectiveness. By allowing installers to place ballast directly onto a durable steel tray, they enhance the lateral stability of metal fencing structures on uneven or unstable ground.
Unlike ground-anchored alternatives, block trays don't require subsurface fixing. This makes them ideal for short-term projects or urban settings where ground penetration isn't viable. Their 4.0mm thick steel composition delivers the durability required to withstand repeated loading, movement, and rough handling across multiple jobs.
These trays connect securely to stabilisers, which in turn attach to fencing panels. When used correctly, this system greatly enhances the structural resilience of temporary fencing setups. On sites with high wind exposure or heavy traffic, the trays reduce the risk of collapse and potential safety hazards. This not only protects workers and the public but helps keep projects compliant and operational even in poor weather conditions.
Block trays are most effective when used with HERMEQ stabilisers on every second fencing panel; however, for maximum resistance in high-risk zones, they can be installed on every panel. Their modular nature also allows flexible layout planning across complex site environments.
HERMEQ stock a wide-range of Steel Site Hoarding, Temporary Fencing, Permanent Fencing & Road Barriers conforming to all required safety specifications and regulations.

Use case versatility
Whether you're working on a commercial refurbishment, new housing development, road maintenance project or event security perimeter, block trays deliver practical, reliable fencing reinforcement.
Pairing options
These trays are designed to bolt directly to HERMEQ stabilisers. Together, they form a system that can be adapted to site-specific wind loads or layout needs. You can increase the number of trays used depending on the local weather forecast or risk analysis.
Material durability
The 4.0mm thick steel body ensures each tray can carry significant ballast weight without deformation. They're resistant to corrosion and damage, allowing reuse over many project cycles, making them a more sustainable and budget-friendly solution over time.
Operational advantages
Contractors will appreciate how quickly trays can be installed. Their bolt-on mechanism works with HERMEQ’s existing fencing and hoarding products, ensuring compatibility and reducing labour costs during setup.
Risk mitigation
For high-traffic or high-stakes sites, preventing fencing collapse is critical. Block trays ensure that your metal fencing stays upright, stable, and secure—even when exposed to high wind, heavy pedestrian flow, or machinery vibration.
Load efficiency
Each tray provides a clear platform for placing blocks or weights. The open design supports precise load distribution, helping evenly spread force and prevent tipping.
For contractors seeking a scalable, compliant solution to fencing stability, HERMEQ’s block trays represent a best-in-class option. When used properly, they improve safety outcomes, minimise wind-related incidents, and meet temporary fencing guidelines across UK worksites.
How many block trays should I use per fence panel?
We recommend using one tray with a stabiliser for every other panel. In windy areas, one per panel may be required.
Can block trays be used with all HERMEQ fencing?
Yes, block trays are compatible with HERMEQ mesh fencing and portable steel hoarding systems.
What kind of ballast can I use on the tray?
Concrete or water-filled ballast blocks are commonly used. Ensure even distribution for stability.
Do I need any tools for installation?
Basic tools are required to bolt the tray to the stabiliser, but installation is straightforward and fast.
