Advantages of UHMWPE outrigger pads

2022-03.11 Read:share:

UHMWPE outrigger pads are used under cranes, bucket trucks, concrete pumps, aerial lifts and other heavy equipment to spread outrigger load and improve support stability. Compared with wood blocks or steel plates, UHMWPE pads are lighter, moisture resistant, corrosion resistant and easier to handle on job sites.

Buyers usually choose outrigger pads to reduce ground pressure, protect paved surfaces, support equipment on soil or gravel and make daily field operation more predictable. Pad size and thickness should be reviewed together with maximum outrigger load, jack foot size and ground condition.

Key Advantages for Crane and Truck Support

High impact resistance for repeated outdoor lifting and support work.
Lower maintenance than timber pads because the material does not absorb water easily.
Custom square, round or rectangular sizes for different outriggers and stabilizers.
Optional rope handles, recessed handles, chamfers, color and marking for fleet use.
Suitable for cranes, boom trucks, aerial lifts, utility trucks and concrete pumps.

RFQ Checklist for Outrigger Pads

Before quoting, please share equipment type, maximum load per outrigger, jack foot size, pad length and width or diameter, thickness, ground condition, handle type, color or marking requirement, quantity and destination. Drawings, load charts or photos of existing pads help us review the specification faster.

Request outrigger pad support: share pad size, load requirement, equipment type, ground condition and quantity so our team can recommend a suitable UHMWPE or HDPE outrigger pad specification.

Outrigger pads are mainly used to pad under the outriggers of construction machinery and play a supporting role. The selection of UHMWPE material has high strength and rigidity, which can reduce the deformation of the backing plate body when subjected to force, and provide a more stable support force for construction machinery. Water resistance, zero water absorption, corrosion resistance, this material will not split or corrode and can replace more traditional wood and steel substitutes, greatly saving the cost of use and improving the quality of work.

The four-corner support of the outrigger pad can be used normally in harsh environments, and it is better to bend without breaking when overloaded. The hand rope is made of nylon material, and the end of the hand rope is embedded in the backing plate body for easy carrying and arrangement. Process composite UHMWPE outrigger pads are processed by CNC machining in the later stage of compression molding.

product advantages:
1. Non-absorbent, long-term exposure to sunlight will not swell and deform;
2. Strong impact strength;
3. In the case of overload, it is better to bend and continue;
4. No adhesion, easy to clean;
5. Chemical and corrosion resistance;
6. Normal use in extremely harsh environments, with a temperature resistance of 80 degrees above zero and 169 degrees below zero;
7. It has a smaller specific gravity and lighter weight than steel plates, and is easy to operate by one person; it will not break due to corrosion, and it is much safer than wooden backing plates;
8. No maintenance required;
