Advantages of outrigger pads
UHMWPE rectangle crane pad are widely used because they are inexpensive and easy to purchase. There are many reasons why UHMW crane foot pads are superior to outrigger pads made of hardwood.
Moisture and chemical resistance
Wood is highly porous and can absorb any liquid encountered. The outrigger pads are continuously exposed to groundwater, precipitation, and any potential contaminants in the groundwater. This may include motor oil, road salt, gasoline and other chemicals.
UHMWPE rectangle crane pad can better resist the harmful effects of moisture and chemicals. UHMW is not affected by either, so your crane foot pads will not degrade due to exposure to these elements.

Because wood is absorbent, it not only absorbs chemicals in the liquid it encounters, it also adds extra weight. Because site injuries are an ongoing problem, the last thing construction operators need is for employees to strain their backs while placing outrigger pads.
The risk of injury using synthetic outrigger pads is much smaller, and its weight is only half of wood. But UHMWPE outrigger pads do not absorb water, and they will not add extra weight due to moisture.
Outrigger pads for bucket truck are stronger, lighter and easier to handle than wood or metal leg pads. They also provide excellent load distribution.
Crane foot pads are guaranteed to be unbreakable.
They can play a role in all types of weather.
Non-absorbent materials are easy to clean.
It is non-conductive and has a non-slip surface.
Waterproof and chemical resistant
Handle system: The easy-to-use handle encourages safe lifting of radius edges and corners and is easy to move.
What is an Outrigger Pad?
The outrigger pad is one of the most important tools in the rigging industry. When you’re working at heights, it helps keep your rig safe by providing extra support under the load. The crane outrigger also provides additional protection from falls. Plastic outrigger pads come in many different styles and sizes.
The temporary ground protection mats are more complicated and the weight bearing is heavier, using high molecular weight polyethylene.
The main advantages of plastic ground protection mats
1. Unique herringbone non-slip pattern surface
2. There are handles to facilitate work and transportation
3. Low transportation and handling costs
4.Support health, environmental protection and safety goals, and have different connection options for different grounds
Nowadays, heavy machinery such as excavators, bulldozers, trucks, etc. often unavoidable to pass or work on soft ground such as soil and grass. For the sake of protecting the road surface, grass and safety, temporary roads often need to be paved. Lightweight ground protection mats for us is not strange, sometimes walking on the road will meet some places laid temporary paving board. What is a temporary ground protection? (ground protection mats, road mats or mud mats). Temporary road mats is a kind of board used in short-term and long-term project construction site, turf or temporary road, etc. It is used to solve the bad environment, such as road surface, weather, and protecting any area from damage due to heavy equipment or high use.
Surface of heavy duty ground protection mats
Depending on the application, we offer different types of surfaces. 4 x 8 ground protection mats with a smooth surface can be used for simple protection and ease of transportation. For heavy vehicles on construction sites, we recommend plastic rig mats with a structured surface for additional stability.
Individual recesses can be cut in the heavy duty ground protection mats in accordance with the wishes and technical requirements of the customer.
Advantages of ground protection mats:
– Rapid deployment of the system
– Weather resistance
– Modular concept (the possibility of setting up sites of any size)
– The possibility of repeated reuse after dismantling, thereby saving money
– The system provides safe and fast access to the object
– The structure of the plate surface prevents sliding
– The passage of tracked vehicles is possible
– Durability
– The system is environmentally friendly
4 x 8 ground protection mats, temporary road mats, swamp mats features：
1.Rugged 1/2” thick polyethylene（12.7mm）
2.Leaves turf smooth, even in soft conditions
3.Build a roadway or working platform in minutes
4.Available in black, white or clear mats
5.Withstands 50-80 ton loads
6.Long time Warranty
Reusable road surfaces made of polymer materials are construction mud mats with locking devices installed on them.
Areas of application of heavy duty ground protection mats, plastic ground protection mats, temporary ground protection mats.
The high strength characteristics of the temporary road mats are due to the high complexity of the design.
HDPE ground protection mats 4×8 are used for the construction of temporary driveways and platforms in areas with difficult geological conditions.
