Introduction
In mobile crane and boom lift operations, stability is life. For decades, many crews relied on scrap timber or railroad ties for outrigger cribbing. However, timber is unpredictable. It can rot internally, split under pressure, and vary in strength based on moisture content.
JSLT Ground Mat advocates for the switch to engineered HDPE and UHMWPE Outrigger Pads.
1. Predictable Engineering
Wood is a biological material with natural flaws.
- **Uniform Strength:** HDPE is an engineered polymer with a consistent density and flexural modulus. You know exactly how much weight it can support without failing.
- **Zero Rot:** Our pads are 100% waterproof and oil-resistant. They do not lose strength over time when stored in damp environments.
2. Safety and Handling
Manual handling injuries are common with heavy, splintered timber blocks.
- **Ergonomics:** JSLT outrigger pads feature built-in carrying handles (rope or steel) and are much lighter than equivalent steel plates.
- **Non-Slip:** Our pads can be customized with textured surfaces to prevent outrigger feet from sliding, especially on uneven ground.
3. High Visibility for Jobsite Safety
Standard outrigger pads come in high-visibility colors (yellow or orange) upon request, helping crews and vehicle traffic clearly see the support points during low-light conditions.
### Conclusion
Stop guessing with scrap wood. Upgrade your crane fleet with JSLT certified outrigger pads and ensure every lift is a stable lift.
