Are You Using Wood Outrigger Pads and Ground Protection Mats?
Posted 10.10.2011

Safety Tech Outrigger Pads eliminate headaches caused by wood outrigger pads.  For example, our Outrigger Pads are stronger and lighter than pads made from wood and will never rot or fail – unlike wood and cable reels.

Why don’t our pads rot or fail? We use an Engineered Thermoplastic that is exceptionally strong. In fact, we’re so confident in the strength, quality and durability of  our Outrigger Pads that they come with our Lifetime Guarantee.

We also provide AlturnaMATS Ground Protection Mats to replace plywood sheets used to cover wet areas on the job site . AlturnaMATS do a tremendous job of protecting underlying ground surfaces and greatly reduce the possibility of getting stuck on the job site.

AlturnaMATS also come with a Limited Lifetime Guarantee against cracking and breaking under normal use.

DICA Safety Tech Outrigger Pads and AlturnaMATS Ground Protection Mats cost initially more than wood products. However, they quickly pay for themselves with their durability, effectiveness and ergonomic safety.

Make Your Setup Safe!

AlturnaMATS in Action
Posted 05.27.2011

Drainscope working in conjunction with Victoria Drain and the Hancock Wildlife Foundation, recently rescued and saved a baby Eaglet in the area of Sydney, BC. A key part of the operation was the use of AlturnaMATS ground protection mats to access the damp bog with the crane needed for the rescue. It was an fantastic operation by many folks and a heart warming display of goodwill in action.

AlturnaMATS Ground Protection Mats Used for Site Access
Posted 04.08.2011

Tired of getting stuck? So were these guys. The below video demonstrates how AlturnaMATS easily provide site access over a muddy drainage ditch.

The video also reveals why plywood sheets are an ineffective solution. They simply won’t last long in these kind of every day conditions and they’d be incredibly heavy to even try to remove and store.

Cement Truck Uses AlturnaMATS to Avoid Getting Stuck
Posted 03.08.2011

A cement truck demonstrates how AlturnaMATS vitrually eliminates the chance of heavy equipment becoming stuck on the job site.

The driver even starts and stops the progression of the vehicle, which is critical for safety but can also lead to heavy equipment sinking into soft ground.

Testimony #77 Josh Hushagen, Seattle Tree Preservation
Posted 01.14.2011

I have owned DICA outrigger pads for more than 10 years, and a set of AlturnaMATS for about four years, and they are a fantastic products.  Both products and tough and nearly bullet-proof.  At first, our biggest problem was losing the pads until we figured out a way to build them their own storage slot on the bucket trucks.  These products are made in America by American workers and dealing with DICA has over the years has been a great experience.

“AlturnaMATS Have Paid For Themselves!” Testimony #139
Posted 10.10.2010
The Ground Protection Mats are working just as expected.  We transported 50 yards of dirt, 30 tons of roadbase, and 45 half pallets of pavers across them in a two week period and today the client is mowing the area of turf as if nothing happened. So the AlturnaMATS have paid for themselves on the first job. Look at the invoice for the mats I bought and compare that to the $3,700 I would have charged the client for re-sod of the traffic area. Pretty cool!
