We believe in your outrigger pads. Also, our reputation rides on them, so to speak. And we have a good reputation.
Thanks!

We are extremely happy with our DICA products as they are extremely durable, user friendly, and have become a integral component of safe outrigger setup here at Sutherland Concrete and A.J.’s Concrete Pumping.

The Use of Crane Outrigger Pads For All Terrain and Mobile Cranes
DICA came across an insightful article from Ace USA Risk Control Services. It covers the use of crane outrigger pads by operators of Mobile and All Terrain cranes and provides a valuable rule of thumb.
All Terrain and Mobile Cranes are designed to use their outriggers and outrigger floats to achieve their maximum lifting capacity. Secondary crane pads called blocking or cribbing, provides additional support for the crane and its load. The ground pressure developed by a crane on its outrigger floats can be very high. There may be times when only one outrigger float is taking the majority of the weight of the crane and its load. Since the outrigger float is relatively small in area, it can generate significant pressure on the ground surface.
