Otherwise known as Crane Outrigger Mats are designed to provide a stable and heavy-duty foot when using a mobile crane, this allows the boom to reach its maximum potential length without it tipping over.
Outrigger Pads are thick heavy-duty cushions that sit under each crane stabilizer leg which provide support and stability by distributing the load more evenly over the ground. Also known as a 'Crane Ground Mat' or 'Crane Leg Mat' these robust pads provide excellent footing in the most challenging applications. Our Dica models can be stacked to provide even more height and protection.

No matter what size crane is being used, its stabilization pads are essential for safety because they’re the foundation for a secure lift. Crane pads are attached directly to the ram end of each outrigger and work together to enlarge the overall footprint of the crane. But the point of contact between the crane pad and ground beneath is relatively small, so an enormous amount of pressure is transferred to the outriggers while the lift is being conducted. An improperly sized pad can cause the ground to shift or collapse. Engineers take this into consideration when designing the crane pad along with maximum payload specifications provided by the crane manufacturer.
Many factors to consider
Crane pads are available in various sizes, shapes and methods of attachment. The head and pad should be incorporated into the same casting for maximum stability. Aluminum, magnesium and other alloys are both lightweight and very strong. Only qualified crane pad suppliers should be sourced for these items and not a regular industrial or metal shop.
