The Ballast Bin is a component of the Anti-Fall System, designed to support the necessary weight to stabilize clad fences. This ballast bin is connected to the site fence using a Brace Arm, ensuring a solid and secure attachment. Indeed, the Anti-Fall System enhances safety through a load distribution principle:When a site fence is exposed to wind, it generates a tipping moment around its base. This Anti-Fall System works by lowering the overall center of gravity and increasing the ground contact surface, thereby reducing the leverage effect that could cause the fence to fall. Key Benefits:• Enhanced Stability: Ensures effective bracing of temporary fences, preventing tipping risks.• Adaptability: Suitable for different types of ballast. Usage:The ballast bin contributes to the stability of your fences. In fact, ballast is a key component of the Anti-Fall System. It involves adding heavy elements (concrete bases, Braceblok™, sandbags).Its role is to lower the structure’s center of gravity. A light fence with a high center of gravity is more susceptible to tipping in windy conditions. By adding weight to the ballast bin, force distribution and resistance to tipping are improved.With properly calculated ballast, fence uplift can be significantly reduced. Proper ballast prevents this phenomenon by keeping the feet firmly anchored to the ground. Recommendations:It is the client’s responsibility to ensure that the quantity of ballast supplied and installed is sufficient for their site. It is essential to perform calculations regarding the required ballast quantity, depending on each site’s characteristics. All clients must be aware that obtaining wind load calculations is mandatory to comply with BS6399 standards. Compatible with:• Anti-Fall System• Clad Fences
