SwissBlock® Mini Event Block with extendable arms - concrete weight 0.8 x 0.8 x 0.5 m, approx. 600 kg

As multifunctional as a Swiss Army knife

Finally, there is a clever and flexible solution for stabilizing 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 was 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.

This is what sets the mini event block with extendable arms apart:

• Increased standing moment: Four extendable outriggers increase stability depending on the situation.
• Versatile: Perfect as ballast for PA systems, LED walls, ground supports, and more.
• Easy handling: recesses for pallet trucks or hand pallet trucks facilitate transport.
• Direct crossbar mounting: Crossbar systems with a cross-section of up to 47 cm can be attached without additional connecting elements.
• Durable and weatherproof: High-quality concrete and hot-dip galvanized steel components ensure long-lasting durability.
