L-blocs are delivered on a flat bed vehicle, nested in threes or fours..

The wooden batons used to separate the L-blocs on the vehicle should be placed on a suitable flat surface and used to sit the L-bloc on prior to lifting the block upright.

Attach a lifting chain or lifting straps to the lifting brackets using D-links. Ensure that the two sides of the chain /straps are of equal length and securely fastened, to ensure a level & safe lift.

Use a suitable forklift tine or Excavator jib to lift L-bloc upright

Lift L-bloc slowly balancing the weight on the heel of the block.

NB. If lifting the L-Block on a hard surface (e.g. concrete) it may be advisable to place a rubber mat under the heel of the block to avoid damage.
 

Move vehicle forward slowly as
L-bloc is lifted to ensure a level lift.

NB.Lifting chains/straps should remain as close to vertical as possible throughout lifting process .
    

Once L-bloc is upright, it can be lifted clear of the ground and transported to its final position.

NB: It is advisable to lift L-blocsupright as close as possible to their intended final position to minimise the distance that a suspended L-bloc has to be carried
 

Lift L-bloc clear of the ground and move to required position

Once in position lower L-bloc into place

If required holes can be drilled in the ground beneath the L-bloc, (through the 4 (or 8) holes in the bloc foot) to allow threaded fixing bars to be used to hold the L-bloc in position.

These holes should be filled with resin prior to insertion of fixing bars

Repeat process for subsequent L-blocs. When positioning an
L-bloc locate the tongue of the suspended block into the
channel in the side of the installed bloc whilst the new blocis still above ground level.

Lower L-bloc slowly into
position ensuring that the blocs remain interlocked. This may require external assistance

Once installed the L-blocs fit neatly together.

Repeat insertion of fastening bar procedure as necessary.
