There’s a Brand-New, Ultra-Heavyweight Concrete Block – On the Block
Sometimes, more is more.
Introducing our latest interlocking concrete block:
It’s a super-substantial 4.7 metric tonnes. And it could, for example, be coming to a vacant commercial or building site near you. More to the point – your vacant site, land or property perimeter.
There are concrete blocks, and then there are these concrete blocks – supplied by Clearway. Specifically, our newest XL models: the ultimate in protection for your buildings, land, or as a way to manage people and traffic at an event, plus much more.
This heavyweight champion is primed and ready to do what it does best, so we thought it would be helpful to highlight its key features and benefits in the battle against trespassers and unauthorised access. Also, for safety and crowd control.
Meet Our XL Concrete Blocks
They each weigh 4,700kg, which is a hefty 4.7 tonnes.
This means that an XL concrete block is nearly?twice the size?of a standard Temporary Vertical Concrete Block, or TVCB. Think of words such as colossus, leader, and titan, and you’ll be on the right track.
Dimensions are key here:
They’re 3.2 metres long, 0.8 metres high, yet despite these impressive Incredible Hulk statistics, they’re relatively adaptable. Why? Because the blocks can be stacked and linked together to create an additional security layer and extra safeguarding. In other words, they’re as strong as they are flexible.
In a nutshell, they’re taking security and protection to another level.
Even Better Blocks: Here’s Why
Our “regular” blocks are already outstandingly effective, and different styles and types are available to meet your needs.
Quick to install, they’re a streamlined way to keep people and vehicles away from places you wish to protect or exclude. Plus, they’re totally weatherproof and highly durable.
Then again, do you need?even more? There could be several reasons why, and we’ll outline them in this article. Step forward, the XL version. In many ways, we’re going above and beyond further, weightier – simply much more?immense.
These monumental blocks are not going anywhere any time soon. They are one hundred per cent impossible to move until or unless specialist equipment arrives. Therefore, you can tick any concerns you may have about unauthorised relocation off your list.
Reduce Your Spend
Previously, if you’ve used concrete blocks, you may have “doubled-up”, i.e. placed one barrier behind another as an additional form of defence. Our larger, heavier version removes this need. And, with transport and rent for just a single block, you could reduce your security budget.
Get in touch?with me for guidance on deploying our XL concrete blocks. Delivery is via truck-mounted forklifts or cranes to ensure they are positioned precisely where you need them.
We’re happy to offer you all the advice you need, and should you hire them from us, our costs will include delivery, set-up and collection.
Key Uses for the XL 4,700kg Block
Clearway recognises that concrete blocks – especially monster ones such as these – may not be on your radar.
It’s not that much of a surprise. Perhaps you’ve focused on CCTV, steel doors and windows, alarms and the other forms of vacant property security we supply. Concrete blocks and barriers may seem rather mundane. But, don’t underestimate how practical they can be. And, how valuable.
In our experience, they have several highly effective applications and uses. Have you thought about the following?
Ram raiders come from nowhere and cause chaos. The good news is that a 4.7-tonne concrete block will impede even the most determined cohort of cars or trucks intent on illegal, unstoppable intrusion.

Not only does it prevent access, but its sheer size is a strong deterrent.
Vulnerable areas need protection, so XL blocks step up to the mark to safeguard them against the threat and reality of terrorism. Equally, they can be used to create a secure perimeter after a severe incident, keeping everyone safe. Plus, they allow the emergency services to do their jobs.
Prevent the risks of hostile vehicle mitigation at events. In addition, the solid presence of carefully placed, ultra-heavy concrete blocks creates clever walkways – a subtle, people-traffic management system.
Wind and rain can make installations at outdoor events insecure and dangerous. These weighty champions can act as ballast for marquees, stages and scaffolding, keeping everything safe and secure.
Large, heavy concrete blocks such as these are a clear direction indicator to drivers. They’re also an excellent way to protect workers, road users, and construction workers, and they can be removed quickly and efficiently at the end of the project.
If you need to protect your land from the outside in, the XL could offer two excellent benefits:
As the XL 4.7 tonne concrete barrier can be interlocked with others, it’s worth considering their use as a temporary storage area. Materials, equipment and resources on construction sites are valuable. And, an attractive prospect to thieves. Creating a solid, impenetrable wall or space keeps them much more secure and is a visual deterrent.
Deploy heavy concrete blocks to keep your site secure at its edges.
You can highlight your branding and add posts during manufacturing so that your hoarding can be secured. The site will be safe, as the hoarding can’t be removed without machinery.
In construction zones, barriers separate the building area from trucks or other heavy vehicles that may be coming and going – therefore reducing the risk of accidents.
Ultimately, water is unstoppable, but large, dense blocks deliver a powerful first line of defence against a rising water flow – it will stay away for longer, allowing time for action or escape.
Clearway’s 4.7-tonne concrete barrier is, cliché permitting, the new kid on the block with the extra-strong, heavyweight touch.
Versatile, cost-effective to hire and incredibly long-lasting, they do a superb job. We’d even say that they’re superstars in protecting property and land: they simply can’t be moved, so cars and lorries will be forced to turn around and go elsewhere. Unauthorised entry is stopped in its tracks.
An immovable object meeting an unstoppable force? Yes to the first assumption; no to the second.
Horses for courses; if you need more substantial products for protection or defence, and the freight train of concrete barriers – then this is the one for you.
Go large. Then, go larger.
