67.3 mph

MATERIAL & CONSTRUCTION

Polyethylene water-filled ballast

The Rota Slot is manufactured from polyethylene and is designed to be filled with water on site. The polyethylene body provides the container for the ballast, allowing the unit to be handled and positioned while empty before the additional weight is added.

When filled, each Rota Slot weighs up to 320kg. This makes it a practical option where substantial additional weight is required for compatible temporary fencing without having to transport a 320kg solid ballast unit to site.

HOW IT WORKS

From lightweight transport to heavy-duty ballast

1. Position

Position the empty Rota Slot as part of the compatible temporary fencing arrangement.

2. Fill

Add water on site to increase the weight of the unit.

3. Stabilise

Once filled, the unit provides up to 320kg of ballast for the compatible fencing system.

The right ballast depends on the fencing arrangement, site conditions and the amount of additional weight required. The Rota Slot is suited to applications where a substantial ballast solution is required, with each unit reaching 320kg when filled.

WATER-FILLED BALLAST

Why use water-filled ballast for temporary fencing?

Water-filled ballast allows the unit to be transported and positioned before the ballast weight is added on site. Once filled, each Rota Slot provides up to 320kg of ballast.

Additional ballast may be considered where temporary fencing is installed in exposed locations, on hard standing, around open construction areas or where the fencing arrangement is subject to additional wind loading. Screening, sheeting and other attachments can also affect wind loading.

Wind and site conditions: The Rota Slot has been wind tested to 67.3 mph. This test result should not be interpreted as a universal wind-speed limit for every fencing installation. Actual stability depends on the complete system, including panel configuration, exposure, ground conditions and any screening or windbreak material.
