Outrigger Pads: Features and Benefits of It!

Crane outrigger pad (also known as support leg pad or crane pad) is a pressure bearing pad commonly used under equipment such as lifting machinery, concrete pump trucks, and construction vehicles. It mainly plays a role in dispersing pressure, protecting the ground, and improving stability. Here are its features and advantages:

Characteristics of leg pads:

High bearing capacity

Using ultra-high molecular weight polyethylene (UHMWPE) material, it can withstand pressures of tens or even hundreds of tons.

Not easily deformed

Even under high-intensity and long-term loads, it can maintain shape stability without cracking or sinking.

Lightweight and easy to transport

Compared with traditional steel pads, plastic leg pads are lighter and reduce the difficulty of manual handling.

Corrosion resistance and strong water resistance

Resistant to chemical corrosion, it is not affected when used in environments with rainwater, mud, and oil stains, and is not easily rusted.

Anti slip design

The surface often has anti slip patterns to increase the friction between the machinery and the ground, preventing displacement and sliding.

Environmentally friendly and non-toxic

Recyclable, pollution-free, suitable for construction sites and projects that require environmental protection.

Advantages of leg pads:

Protect the ground: prevent heavy equipment from damaging concrete floors, lawns, asphalt pavements, etc.

Enhance device stability: effectively disperse leg pressure and reduce the risk of rollover.

Improve construction safety: Support firmly to avoid accidents caused by ground subsidence or sliding.

Long service life: With excellent wear resistance, it can be used for a long time even under harsh working conditions.

Flexible customization: The size, thickness, hole position, and handle can be customized according to the size of the device legs.
