Unstable outrigger bearing capacity, ground subsidence and pavement damage are frequent headaches during daily hoisting operations of truck-mounted cranes. Most crane operators have long adopted wooden or steel pads, both of which carry obvious drawbacks. Wooden pads are prone to moisture-induced cracking and insufficient load capacity, sinking easily when working on soft ground. Steel plates meet load requirements yet weigh excessively, making transportation and relocation labor-intensive and slowing down construction efficiency. UHMWPE Outrigger Pads feature light weight and outstanding compression resistance, fitting truck-mounted cranes of every tonnage and all outdoor construction scenarios for truck-mounted lifting, fully addressing the flaws of conventional support pads.

Manufactured via one-piece molding of ultra-high-molecular-weight polyethylene (UHMWPE), these pads boast exceptional toughness. They bend rather than snap under heavy loads without brittle fracture, fundamentally cutting safety risks such as crane tilting or overturning. Far lighter than thick steel plates, they weigh only one-eighth of steel plates with identical dimensions. A single worker can carry and lay them rapidly without extra manpower, slashing labor costs and accelerating on-site construction progress.

In addition, UHMWPE Outrigger Pads deliver superior weather resistance, standing up to harsh construction conditions including mud, intense sunlight and freezing temperatures. Non-absorbent, rot-proof and anti-aging, they support repeated long-term use. Anti-slip textured surfaces prevent outrigger sliding. Whether deployed on asphalt roads, concrete floors or soft muddy ground, they evenly disperse outrigger pressure to stabilize lifting operations and protect pavements from crushing damage, eliminating unnecessary construction compensation claims. They are reliable, hassle-free auxiliary accessories for outdoor truck-mounted crane work.
