Do you need a fork lift to lift concrete products?
Yes, generally, you may need a forklift to move concrete blocks, but they are easy to lift and manoeuvre. The concrete blocks are designed for easy lifting, as the block fits nicely into the lifting loop. For easy stacking, ensure the concrete blocks are placed on a flat area.
Forklift hire is generally affordable, and you won’t need to rent it out for long, as Standard Concrete Blocks require less manpower and less time for building.
How do you store concrete products?
- Store concrete blocks in a cool, dry place. Make sure they are protected from severe weather conditions, to help maintain their quality.
- Make sure the ground of the storage area is perfectly flat.
- Keep the concrete blocks close to the site of work, to make transportation easier.
- Do not stack concrete blocks higher than two to three blocks at a time.
What is the difference between concrete products and red bricks?
Concrete blocks and red bricks each come with their own strengths.
Concrete blocks tend to be lighter than red bricks, which makes for better workability.
In addition, concrete blocks usually offer better resistance to natural disasters such as earthquakes and hurricanes- which shows how durable they are.
Moreover, it is easier to paint over concrete blocks, than it is to paint over red bricks. Paint can destroy brickwork, and when you paint on red bricks, you have to paint over the mortar as well.
What is the difference between concrete products and cinder blocks?
A cinder block is a lightweight building material which is made of cement and coal ash. They usually have hollow cores in the middle.
There are a few differences between cinder blocks and concrete blocks, such as:
- Cinder blocks are more expensive than concrete blocks.
- Cinder blocks are lighter than concrete blocks.
- Cinder blocks have a hollow rectangle structure, whereas concrete blocks have a flattened structure.
- Concrete blocks are much stronger than cinder blocks- so they tend to be used for larger and more important construction projects.
- Cinder blocks have a lot less tensile strength than concrete blocks do.
- Cinder blocks require more repairs than concrete blocks do.
How do you stay safe when working with concrete products and cement?
- Don’t load out concrete blocks by hand- use a machine or handling equipment, like a forklift. If a load is too heavy, ask for help.
- Avoid working at awkward angles and positions, to prevent back injuries and muscle sprains.
- If you need to handle lighter concrete blocks, handle them close to the body when lifting into position.
- Do not stand on the concrete blocks.
- Wear sturdy, waterproof boots, to prevent any building materials from getting inside your boots.
- Wear waterproof kneepads in case you need to kneel on fresh concrete.
- If your skin makes any contact with concrete or cement, then wash it off with clean water, as soon as possible.
- When operating a forklift, wear a hard hat, safety shoes and a high-visibility jacket.
- Inspect the forklift for defects before operating and watch out for passers-by in your blind spots.
- If you need to mechanically cut any concrete blocks, make sure you wear appropriate eye protection. You should also wear a mask because the dust produced while cutting or drilling dried concrete can irritate your lungs or cause serious lung damage.
- Wear long-sleeved clothing and waterproof gloves that fit precisely over your hands, to prevent cement from becoming trapped between your clothing and the skin.
