How do outrigger pads work?
Operators usually need to use cranes, lifts trucks, forkslides, etc., when moving large amounts of material or people from one place to another. An outrigger pad can help keep loads from tipping over if they’re too heavy for the lift vehicle to handle safely.
For mobile and locomotive cranes, when outrigger pads are required, the following requirements should be met: (1) Sufficient strength to prevent crushing, bending or shear damage; (2) Such thickness, width and Length to fully support the float, transfer the load to the supporting surface, and prevent movement, tipping or excessive settlement under load. Knowing the ground carrying capacity will help workers determine which type of outrigger pad is best for the equipment to be used.
