Blocplac II is a lifting wedge tool used to raise and support plasterboard or insulation panels during installation. It allows one installer to position the board accurately against the frame while fixing screws, improving speed and reducing physical strain.
Yes. Blocplac II is specifically designed for single-person operation. By pressing the handle with the foot, the installer can lift and hold the board in position while keeping both hands free to screw it securely to the framing.
No. The beveled lifting edge is designed to protect the board during lifting. It ensures smooth contact and prevents chipping or crushing of plasterboard or insulation panels during installation.
It is suitable for lifting gypsum plasterboards, drylining panels and rigid insulation boards. However, it is not designed for extremely heavy structural or dense boards beyond standard drywall installation weights.
Yes, when used correctly. The offset handle keeps the foot away from the board and prevents accidental impact with the installer’s leg. Always ensure the floor is stable and wear protective footwear for safe operation.
The sliding block allows the installer to adjust the height support point along the tool. This makes positioning the board more precise and helps achieve a perfect gap alignment at the bottom or top of the drywall frame.
Absolutely. Blocplac II is commonly used by professional drywall contractors and renovation teams because it speeds up installation, reduces the need for a helper and improves board placement accuracy on large-scale projects.
Maintenance is minimal. Keep the beveled edge clean, check for debris around the sliding block and inspect the metal body for cracks or bending. Avoid using the tool if any part appears damaged.
Yes. Blocplac II can lift and position rigid insulation boards commonly used behind plasterboard linings. It helps maintain alignment and ensures accurate placement before fixing or adhesive application.
Blocplac II is primarily designed for wall installations, especially lifting the bottom edge of boards. For ceiling installations, a dedicated board lifter or panel hoist is recommended, but Blocplac II can still assist with initial alignment at the base.
