Crane Cribbing Plate System is a modular UHMWPE equipment support solution combining six 600 × 150 × 150 mm cribbing blocks, a 600 × 600 × 48 mm top support plate and a 650 × 650 × 48 mm bottom support plate. The reusable system is designed for cranes, outriggers, stabilizers and heavy equipment requiring additional setup height and an organized plate-and-block support structure.
Crane Cribbing Plate System is a modular UHMWPE equipment support solution combining a larger bottom support plate, six rectangular cribbing blocks, and a top support plate. The complete system is designed for applications where crane outriggers, stabilizers, concrete pumps, lifting equipment, industrial machinery, and other heavy equipment require additional setup height together with an organized support structure.
The product shown is different from a single outrigger pad or an individual cribbing block. Instead of relying on one component, the complete arrangement uses multiple compatible UHMWPE parts to create a structured support platform.
The reference configuration includes six long rectangular blocks positioned between a bottom support plate and an upper equipment support plate. The modular construction allows each component to be handled, inspected, cleaned, stored, and organized separately.
The black UHMWPE components shown feature durable working surfaces, raised structural sections, and integrated handling features. The complete arrangement is intended to provide additional equipment setup height while maintaining a clearly defined upper and lower support structure.
The reference Crane Cribbing Plate System shown in the technical information includes the following components:
| Component | Reference Dimensions | Quantity |
|---|---|---|
| UHMWPE Cribbing Block | 600 × 150 × 150 mm | 6 pieces |
| Top Crane Support Plate | 600 × 600 × 48 mm | 1 piece |
| Bottom Crane Support Plate | 650 × 650 × 48 mm | 1 piece |
The technical illustration also shows an upper assembly width of approximately 600 mm and an illustrated overall system height of approximately 340 mm.
The approximately 340 mm height should be treated as a reference dimension for the illustrated arrangement rather than a universal finished height for every possible system configuration.
Actual assembled height can depend on:
The component dimensions and overall system height should therefore be confirmed against the final production drawing before manufacturing or specifying a completed assembly.

The main structural advantage of the Crane Cribbing Plate System is the combination of three functional sections:
Each section performs a different function within the complete support arrangement.
The bottom plate establishes the base footprint. The six rectangular blocks create the central support section. The upper plate provides a defined working surface beneath the equipment support point.
The reference bottom support plate measures approximately 650 × 650 × 48 mm.
This plate is larger than the approximately 600 × 600 mm top plate and the illustrated 600 mm upper assembly width.
The bottom plate can provide:
The bottom support plate should have appropriate support beneath its intended working area.
The complete system should not be positioned across large unsupported voids, severe depressions, unstable edges, or unknown underground openings without proper evaluation.
The reference system includes six UHMWPE cribbing blocks.
Each block measures approximately:
600 × 150 × 150 mm
The six rectangular blocks create the central height-supporting section of the complete Crane Cribbing Plate System.
The long rectangular geometry provides a practical structure for arranging multiple blocks beneath the upper support plate.
The block section can provide:
The six-piece configuration shown should be treated as the reference arrangement for this product page.
The exact block orientation and position should follow the approved system drawing.
The cribbing blocks shown do not use a completely smooth featureless surface.
The main working surfaces include long raised sections and recessed channels.
These structures can provide:
The precise interaction between these raised sections and adjoining components depends on the final product structure.
Before equipment loading, all primary working surfaces should be correctly positioned and free from large debris.
The upper support plate measures approximately 600 × 600 × 48 mm.
This plate creates the upper working section of the complete system.
Its main functions can include:
The equipment support point should be positioned within the intended working area of the complete system.
The top plate dimensions alone should not be treated as a universal load-capacity guarantee. Complete performance also depends on material, thickness, support beneath the plate, equipment reaction, and the complete assembled geometry.
The reference configuration uses:
This creates a larger geometric plate at the bottom of the complete support arrangement.
The dimensional difference can provide additional space around the central block section and create a clearly defined lower system component.
Final upper and lower plate dimensions should consider:
The technical drawing shows an approximate overall reference height of 340 mm.
This value should be used as an illustrated system reference rather than automatically applied to every possible arrangement.
Completed system height can change according to:
The finished support height should therefore be confirmed using the final production and assembly drawing.
The central purpose of the block section is to provide additional vertical support height.
Additional height may be required because of:
Increasing system height also changes the geometry of the complete arrangement.
Important factors include:
Additional height should not be created simply by adding unrelated support components.
A major feature of the Crane Cribbing Plate System is the modular construction.
Instead of manufacturing the entire support structure as one permanent component, the system consists of separate parts.
This can make it easier to:
The complete system should use components designed to work together within the selected assembly.
The primary material used for the Crane Cribbing Plate System is ultra-high-molecular-weight polyethylene, commonly abbreviated as UHMWPE.
UHMWPE is a type of thermoplastic polyethylene with extremely long molecular chains. It is widely associated with toughness, impact resistance, low moisture absorption, low friction, and abrasion resistance.
For a general material explanation, see the official Wikipedia article about ultra-high-molecular-weight polyethylene.
Typical characteristics relevant to reusable industrial support components include:
Unlike steel support products, UHMWPE plastic components do not rust.
Compared with conventional timber cribbing, manufactured plastic components provide consistent produced dimensions and do not depend on natural wood grain or knots.
Appropriate contact between the main working surfaces is important when assembling a Crane Cribbing Plate System.
Before equipment loading, check that:
Large stones, metal objects, timber fragments, and other hard debris can create concentrated contact areas.
These objects should be removed before the equipment load is applied.
Crane Cribbing Plate System can be used in selected applications where equipment requires additional setup height together with an organized top-and-bottom plate structure.
Typical equipment can include:
The correct system configuration should always be matched to the actual equipment and operating requirements.
Mobile cranes may require additional support height because of equipment geometry, stabilizer position, or differences in the surrounding support level.
Important considerations include:
The complete support system should not be selected only according to total crane weight.
Concrete pump trucks also use stabilizers and may require additional support height in selected equipment arrangements.
A plate-and-block support system can provide:
Important selection factors include:
Boom trucks, utility vehicles, digger derricks, and other stabilizer-equipped machinery may also require temporary additional support height.
Typical equipment can include:
The support system should be selected according to actual equipment reactions and setup geometry rather than equipment category alone.
A standard outrigger pad and a Crane Cribbing Plate System perform different primary functions.
An outrigger pad is mainly used to increase the effective contact area beneath an equipment stabilizer.
A cribbing plate system combines support plates and cribbing blocks to create additional equipment setup height within a modular arrangement.
A complete plate system can include:
You can also view our complete range of crane outrigger pads for mobile cranes, concrete pumps, boom trucks, lifting equipment, stabilizer systems, cribbing support, and other heavy machinery applications.
The complete system may be used on different supporting surfaces when the underlying condition is appropriate for the intended equipment and applied forces.
Before installation, inspect for:
The bottom plate should receive appropriate support beneath its effective working area.
A modular support system cannot automatically make unsuitable underlying ground safe.
Correct positioning is important when using a Crane Cribbing Plate System.
Before loading, check that:
The complete arrangement should be evaluated as one system rather than treating each component independently.
A major advantage of the Crane Cribbing Plate System is its reusable modular structure.
After equipment operation, the components can be:
The top plate, six cribbing blocks, and bottom plate can be organized as one complete equipment support set.
Reusable components should be inspected before demanding equipment applications.
Check:
A damaged component should be evaluated before returning to heavy equipment support service.
Mud, sand, gravel, oil, and other debris can remain on the components after outdoor equipment operations.
Cleaning can help:
Large debris should be removed from all main contact surfaces before equipment loading.
A complete reference set includes:
During storage:
Handling methods should match the actual dimensions and finished weight of each component.
Crane Cribbing Plate System provides a modular support solution where cranes, outriggers, stabilizers, and other heavy equipment require additional setup height together with clearly defined upper and lower support plates.
The reference system includes six approximately 600 × 150 × 150 mm UHMWPE cribbing blocks, one approximately 600 × 600 × 48 mm top support plate, and one approximately 650 × 650 × 48 mm bottom support plate.
The technical illustration marks an approximate 600 mm upper assembly width and an approximate 340 mm overall reference height. Because completed height can depend on the actual block arrangement, structural engagement, plate thickness, and approved assembly drawing, final system height should be confirmed from the production drawing.
Final dimensions, block quantity, material grade, plate thickness, positioning structure, support height, handle arrangement, system geometry, and installation method should always be selected according to the actual equipment, applied forces, supporting surface, and operating requirements.
