How much weight do you need?
The amount of ballast a structure needs comes from its manufacturer or the engineer on your event, not from guesswork. Once you have that number, we'll help you hit it with the fewest pieces and the right size for your crew to handle.
Custom event weights
Some gear needs a weight with a specific footprint, slot or shape. Our fabrication shop can design and build event counterweights to fit.
