The Perfect Match for Performance and Safety
Some things are just better together. Saturdays and college football. BBQ smokers and cigars. Fire pits and S’mores.
And SafetyTech Outrigger Pads and TuffGrip Handles.
Our recessed handles stay out of the way when field crews need to roll or slide pads. And when you need to carry pads, the handles encourage proper lifting posture and technique.
A key part of SafetyTech’s ease of use is the strong and flexible handles, which reduce cutting, pinching, and fatigue associated with typical rope or cable handles. With two people working together, the lifting weight does not exceed 50 pounds per person for most SafetyTech Outrigger Pads.
In fact, DICA’s TuffGrip Handles, introduced in 2011, are integral to seven of DICA’s patents. While TuffGrip handles have always been water, UV, and chemical resistant, a new material design introduced this year across the SafetyTech product line further improves those benefits.
“Road grime, degreasers, and hydraulic fluid are formidable adversaries, so we sought out new materials for our TuffGrip Handles to make them even tougher against these real-world enemies,” said Josh Ostergaard, Operations Manager.
But what many of our customers don’t know is that if you have a broken handle, not only is it easy to replace in the field, DICA will send you new TuffGrip Handles for free. We won’t even charge you shipping costs.
We’ve Got Your Back
We’ve got your back in more ways than one. We believe in the ergonomic and safety benefits of TuffGrip Handles so much that we want you to replace them. Depending on the SafetyTech model, all you need to change out the handle is a punch and hammer or screwdriver. One year at the International Lineman’s Rodeo, my late father, Dick Koberg, and I replaced over 100 handles from the tailgate of a pickup truck. As I often say, “It’s so easy, even a salesperson can do it.”
Whether you work in the electric utility industry, crane rental, construction, tree care, or in one of the branches of the U.S. armed forces—if you have been dealing with a broken handle—you don’t have to put up with the frustration any longer.

Info is a Click Away
DICA is committed to maximizing performance and solving unique ground support problems. And sometimes, that is as simple as putting a QR Code on product decals. We’ve been rolling out these new decals on SafetyTech products this year and will extend this to other product lines in the future.
The QR code takes you to the relevant product page on our website so you can easily find working load limits and other technical information. You can also get a quote or make an online order.
Today’s SafetyTech Outrigger Pads are the modern evolution of DICA’s original engineered outrigger pads. Continuous innovation extends to reducing your risk when handling those pads. New TuffGrip Handles will stand up even better to wear and tear.
