SwissBlock® Event Block System Stone AS - Concrete weight 1.2 x 1.2 x 0.4/0.48 m, approx. 1000 kg

As multifunctional as a Swiss Army knife

Finally, there is a clever and flexible solution for stabilizing and securing temporary structures for lighting, sound, stage technology, and trusses at events: the Event Block from SwissBlock®.

In the event industry, quick assembly and disassembly, safe structures, and maximum flexibility are crucial. Whether light towers, PA towers, LED walls, ground supports, or entrance portals: every event has specific requirements in terms of stability and logistics.

This is exactly where the Event Block comes into play: a monolithic element made of high-strength concrete that has been specially developed for the requirements of the event industry. Originally conceived as a one-off customer project, the Event Block quickly became very popular. Based on a well-designed formwork system in combination with several components made of galvanized steel cast into the concrete galvanized steel components cast into the concrete, an extremely flexible and versatile solution was created.

What makes this event block special:

• High stability and safety: The Event Block serves as structural ballast for a wide range of temporary structures and can be used individually or stacked.
• Maximum flexibility: Thanks to cross-shaped anchor rails, truss systems from different manufacturers can be easily assembled and disassembled.
• Easy handling: The block weights are optimally matched to truck transport. Fork guides or recesses ensure easy loading and flexible placement at the place of use using a forklift or pallet truck. Spindle feet also enable easy and precise leveling.
• Durable and sustainable: The Event Block can be reused indefinitely and is particularly durable thanks to its robust construction.
