Cavity Pad Plus Joins SafetyTech Outrigger Pad Product Line
October 10, 2017 (Guthrie Center, Iowa) DICA introduced Cavity Pad Plus Outrigger Pads at the International Construction & Utility Equipment Expo (ICUEE), held Oct. 3-5 in Louisville, Ky.
The Cavity Pad Plus model joins the company’s SafetyTech® Outrigger Pad product line. SafetyTech Outrigger Pads provide a strong, rigid, and easy to use foundation for a wide variety of outrigger enabled equipment, including mobile cranes, digger derricks, aerials and concrete pumps. The Cavity Pad Plus model is designed for equipment such as digger derricks and aerials that can operate in managed un-level conditions, which increases lateral forces.
Cavity Pad Plus 1.0″ high edge guards have an inverted bevel design that provides an additional measure of stabilizer foot stopping safety.
Cavity Pad Plus features a 1” high footbrake with an inverted beveled design. The inverted bevel design traps the outrigger foot which prevents it from sliding off of the crane stabilizer pad. “This is a significant improvement in the design of our original Cavity Pad,” said Kris Koberg, CEO. “The inverted beveled design creates a higher level of safety, and the color scheme adds to overall higher visibility. In addition, the new design contributed to reductions in manufacturing costs enabling us to lower the price for our customers,” he said.
Constructed of a proprietary engineered thermoplastic material, SafetyTech Outrigger Pads have crush ratings up to 750 psi and rated capacities up to 325,000 lbs.
DICA displayed Cavity Pad Plus and other SafetyTech Outrigger Pad products from Booth 3551 at ICUEE. Additional DICA crane stabilizer pads and other products were in action at many OEM equipment displays, including Altec, Dur-A-Lift, Elliott, Hiab, Manitowoc, Skylift, Spiradrill, Terex, and TIME/Versalift equipment.
