UHMWPE Plastic Outrigger Mats - Wear Resistant Crane Stabilizers

An outrigger pad, also known as a cribbing pad or stabilizer pad, is a critical safety device used to distribute the weight 

and provide a stable base for heavy machinery, such as cranes, aerial work platforms, and concrete pumps, when their 

outriggers are deployed. Here are some key features and descriptions of an outrigger pad:

1. Material:

   - Typically made from high-density polyethylene (HDPE), composite materials, rubber, or wood.

   - HDPE and composite materials are favored for their durability, resistance to weather, and ability to handle high loads 

without breaking or deforming.

2. Design:

   - Usually square, rectangular, or circular in shape.

   - Surface often features a textured or grooved pattern to prevent slipping and improve grip.

   - Some designs include handles or grips for easier transportation and positioning.

3. Functionality:

   - Provides a wider, more stable base to distribute the weight of the equipment more evenly over a larger area.

   - Prevents the machinery from sinking into soft or unstable ground.

   - Increases the safety and stability of the operation by reducing the risk of tipping.

4. Load Capacity:

   - Designed to handle various load capacities, depending on the material and size.

   - Load ratings are usually specified by the manufacturer and should be adhered to for safe operation.

5. Usage:

   - Placed under the outriggers, stabilizers, or feet of heavy machinery.

   - Essential in construction, utility work, and any industry requiring the use of large, heavy equipment on potentially 

unstable surfaces.

6. Sizes and Thicknesses:

   - Available in various sizes and thicknesses to match different equipment and load requirements.

   - Common sizes range from small pads for light machinery to large pads for heavy-duty cranes and construction 

equipment.

7. Safety and Maintenance:

   - Regular inspection for cracks, wear, or damage is essential.

   - Should be cleaned and stored properly to prolong their lifespan and ensure optimal performance.

In summary, outrigger pads are essential safety tools in the construction and heavy equipment industries, providing 

stability and preventing accidents by distributing the weight of machinery over a larger area.
