Full block: 6' x 2' x 2', 3,600 lb
The standard block. Six feet of wall per unit, 3,600 lb, 13 to a flatbed, from $120 with freight quoted to your ZIP.
What it is
This is the block every other name on this site refers to. Six feet long, two feet square in section, cast in steel forms with a lug on top and a recess underneath so courses locate on each other.
Lifting is by a cast-in loop or a channel left for rebar or cable, depending on the run it comes from. Tell us what you are lifting with on the quote and we will confirm the detail before the truck is loaded, because arriving with the wrong hook is a wasted day for both of us.
Dimensions are nominal. Concrete cast in a steel form is accurate to about an inch, and a run of blocks laid end to end will not measure exactly six feet a block.
What it is used for
- Bin and bunker walls

From $120 per block, freight quoted separately to your ZIP

Getting it to your site
Everything ships on a flatbed, the lower 48 states wide. Freight is quoted to your ZIP because distance, truck count and access are what actually drive it.
You unload with a forklift or telehandler rated for the weight, or you add placement to the quote and we bring the machine. The driver does not unload.
Full block questions
- How fast do I get a real number?
- Within the hour during desk hours for a standard order to a ZIP we deliver to. Custom sizes, rentals and purchase orders take a business day because a person prices them by hand.
- Is there a minimum order?
- No. One block is a real order. Freight is the dominant cost, so a full truck is always the better value per unit, and the quote shows you both.
- What does a block cost?
- Blocks start at $120 each. Freight is quoted separately to your ZIP because distance, truck count and site access drive it, and any supplier who quotes freight without your address is guessing.
- How many blocks fit on a truck?
- 13 full blocks, or 26 half blocks, which is about 46,800 lb on a 48 ft to 53 ft flatbed. Mixed loads are packed by weight, not by count.
- Bin block, mafia block, ecology block: what is the difference?
- Nothing. They are the same 6 x 2 x 2 interlocking concrete block under different regional names. Use the name your supplier uses and check the dimensions, not the label.
