What are the most durable outrigger pads?

Introduction to Crane Outrigger Pads

Crane outrigger pads (also known as outrigger mats, crane pads) are essential safety components used to stabilize cranes and other heavy equipment during lifting operations. They distribute the crane's load over a larger surface area, preventing ground settlement, tipping, or structural damage.

Key Functions of Outrigger Pads:

*Load Distribution – Spreads the crane’s weight to reduce ground pressure.

*Stability Enhancement – Prevents outrigger sinking, especially on soft or uneven terrain.

*Ground Protection – Minimizes damage to asphalt, concrete, or sensitive surfaces.

*Safety Compliance – Meets OSHA and other regulatory standards for crane operations.

There are many materials of crane outrigger pads on the market, like composite polyethylene pads, steel outrigger pads, and wooden pads. However, crane outrigger pads made of UHMWPE(Ultra High Molecular Weight Polyethylene) are the most durable, environmentally friendly, wear-resistant, corrosion-resistant, with excellent impact resistance and anti-slip stability, and are light and easy to carry.

So in conclusion, composite polyethylene outrigger pads are gradually replacing traditional wood and steel pads with their excellent performance, becoming an important guarantee for the safe operation of modern heavy equipment. Correct selection can greatly improve construction safety and efficiency.
