Volleyball Tournament Structures & Platforms Stabilized With 3500# Concrete Ballast “Commander Blocks”

If you have ever been to any pro volleyball tournaments either on the beach or in large parking lots, you will notice the massive stadium like structures that are built to shade the guests in attendance and position them in a multi tiered formation.

Recently, Stage CMDR was selected to provide 119 of its 3500 pound “Commander Blocks” to secure the temporary structures that were built for a volleyball tournament. That equals to 416,500 pounds of dead weight that was provided from Stage CMDR’s manufactured equipment. It took a total of 19, 48’ flatbed semi trucks to deliver the equipment to the job site. Coordinating 19 semi trucks to deliver and pick up each hour on the hour is no easy task and is a task not very many companies can execute, let alone execute on short notice.

Michael Pelina Chief Operating Officer in charge of company logistics quotes, “I was informed that our company was selected for this rental project because of industry reputation for logistical coordination, product spec design and because our company inventory houses the quantity that was needed for this project.”

Stage CMDR has various models of their own manufactured concrete ballast “Commander Blocks” that are available for U.S. nation wide delivery:

– 2500# with rebar loop on top – available in grey and black
– 3500# with rebar loop on top – available in grey and black
– 2500# with 5 way 12” and 20” truss bolt plate – available in black
– 3500# with 5 way 12” and 20” truss bolt plate – available in black

Stage CMDR also offers covers for each of their concrete ballast blocks that are available in a wide variety of colors
