DICA Outrigger Pads For Concrete Pump Trucks
December 15, 2021 (Guthrie Center, Iowa) Many concrete contractors report that pump truck rollover is one of the more common accidents in the industry. SafetyTech Recessed Radius Outrigger Pads from DICA are designed for out-and-down outriggers with round floats, which are common in the concrete pumping industry. The 0.25 inch recessed area helps keep the outrigger float positioned in the center of the concrete pump outrigger pad.
“Using engineered outrigger pads provides a more stable setup. Each of our pump trucks carries various sizes of outrigger pads to give the operators the tools they need. We carry extra big pads for bad ground conditions in less compacted areas,” said Jim Manson, President of Sun Concrete Pumping, Grimes, Iowa.
SafetyTech Recessed Radius concrete pump outrigger pads are constructed of a solid one-piece design of engineered thermoplastic material.They are available in three sizes: 24″x24″x2″, 30″x 30″x 2″ and 36″ x 36″x2″.
“Using suitable outrigger pads or crane pads improves safety. Outrigger pads, crane pads, and cribbing blocks are critical tools to mitigate accidents,” said Kris Koberg, CEO of DICA.
