February 1, 2015 (Guthrie Center, Iowa) DICA, manufacturer of SafetyTech® Outrigger Pads, has introduced a new outrigger pad product line designed for the heavy loads and load distribution requirements of concrete pumping contractors.
Recessed Radius SafetyTech outrigger pads were announced at the World of Concrete Show, in Las Vegas, Nev., Feb. 2-5, 2016.
SafetyTech Recessed Radius outrigger pads are designed for out-and-down outriggers with round floats, which are common in the concrete pumping industry.Features and Benefits
Recessed Radius SafetyTech outrigger pads draw on the experience and success of a similar SafetyTech product used in the utility and tree care industry, but are designed for the specific needs of the concrete pumping industry.
“For years, many tree care and utility companies have made DICA’s original cavity outrigger pads a standard fleet product because of their unbreakable and reliable performance. We’re excited for customers in the concrete pumping industry to experience that same performance with our new product line of SafetyTech Recessed Radius outrigger pads,” said Dick Koberg, Founder and President of DICA.
Made from DICA’s premium engineered thermoplastic material, SafetyTech Recessed Radius outrigger pads 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 outrigger pad.
In addition, SafetyTech Recessed Radius outrigger pads are constructed of a solid one-piece design, to eliminate potential weak points and provide the strong foundation needed for concrete pumping operations.
SafetyTech® recessed radius outrigger pads are available in three sizes. All three heavy-duty models have a strength capacity of 150,000 lbs. Standard sizes include:
- 24”x24”x2”
- 30”x30”x2”
- 36”x 36”x2”
Like all SafetyTech outrigger pads, Recessed Radius SafetyTech outrigger pads are backed by DICA’s unbreakable guarantee.
