Rough Surface Outrigger Pads are reusable UHMWPE support panels featuring solid square structures, uniform textured working surfaces and integrated carrying handles. Practical reference sizes include 500 × 500 × 40–50 mm, 600 × 600 × 40–60 mm, 800 × 800 × 50–80 mm and 1000 × 1000 × 60–100 mm for mobile cranes, boom trucks, concrete pumps and other stabilizer-equipped machinery.
Rough Surface Outrigger Pads are heavy-duty UHMWPE support panels designed for mobile crane outriggers, boom truck stabilizers, concrete pump support legs, aerial work equipment, utility vehicles and other machinery that uses hydraulic stabilizers during operation.
The product shown features a solid square structure, a uniform textured working surface and an integrated flexible carrying handle. Its simple panel design is practical for repeated positioning, equipment setup, recovery, cleaning, transportation and storage.
Unlike temporary roadway mats that are installed continuously to form a vehicle access route, outrigger pads are positioned directly beneath individual stabilizer feet. Their primary purpose is to increase the effective support area between the original equipment foot and the underlying surface.
The rough working face distinguishes this product from smooth, deeply grooved, recessed and cross-ribbed support pads. The final dimensions and thickness should always be selected according to the actual outrigger reaction, original stabilizer-foot dimensions and supporting surface condition.
The precise dimensions of the pad shown cannot be confirmed from the product photograph alone. The following sizes are practical reference specifications for this type of solid UHMWPE support panel.
| Reference Size | Reference Thickness | Typical Application |
|---|---|---|
| 400 × 400 mm | 30–40 mm | Compact stabilizers and smaller mobile equipment |
| 500 × 500 mm | 40–50 mm | Portable crane and utility vehicle support |
| 600 × 600 mm | 40–60 mm | General mobile crane and boom truck applications |
| 700 × 700 mm | 50–60 mm | Medium stabilizer support requirements |
| 800 × 800 mm | 50–80 mm | Medium heavy-equipment applications |
| 900 × 900 mm | 60–80 mm | Larger crane and concrete pump stabilizers |
| 1000 × 1000 mm | 60–100 mm | Large mobile equipment support |
| 1200 × 1200 mm | 80–100 mm | Large-format heavy-equipment support |
The approximately 400 × 400 × 30–40 mm and 500 × 500 × 40–50 mm formats provide compact options where equipment storage space and repeated handling are important.
The approximately 600 × 600 × 40–60 mm format provides a practical balance between support area, panel thickness, finished weight and portability.
Medium-size products such as approximately 700 × 700 × 50–60 mm and 800 × 800 × 50–80 mm provide broader support areas for mobile cranes, boom trucks and pump truck stabilizers.
Large formats such as approximately 900 × 900 × 60–80 mm, 1000 × 1000 × 60–100 mm and 1200 × 1200 × 80–100 mm require additional consideration for finished weight, transportation, storage and mechanical handling.
These dimensions are reference product options rather than universal safe working load ratings. Final pad selection should consider the maximum reaction at one outrigger, original equipment-foot dimensions, required support area, UHMWPE grade, panel thickness and underlying surface condition.

Final dimensions, thickness, material grade, surface texture, edge structure and handle configuration should be selected according to the actual equipment and operating requirements.
The defining feature of Rough Surface Outrigger Pads is the uniform textured finish covering the main working face.
This finish is different from a completely smooth panel and also differs from deep diamond grooves, raised cross-grid ribs or a central circular recess.
The textured surface provides:
The surface texture does not replace correct pad sizing, suitable thickness, stable supporting ground or proper stabilizer positioning.
Mud, oil, stones, metal fragments and other debris should be removed before the equipment load is applied.
The product shown uses a solid square UHMWPE structure.
A square panel provides a practical combination of geometric support area, straight positioning edges, stackable storage and compatibility with different stabilizer-foot shapes.
Advantages of the square structure include:
The equipment foot should remain within the intended working area. Positioning the stabilizer close to an unsupported edge creates a different loading condition from placing it near the intended central area.
The reference product includes a flexible carrying handle installed along one edge.
The handle provides a defined gripping point when the pad needs to be:
Before moving a support pad, inspect:
The handle is designed for transportation and positioning. It should not be treated as a structural component carrying the equipment load.
Large-format pads may require two-person handling or appropriate mechanical handling equipment, even when carrying handles are installed.
The primary material used for Rough Surface Outrigger Pads is ultra-high-molecular-weight polyethylene, commonly abbreviated as UHMWPE.
UHMWPE is a thermoplastic polyethylene with extremely long molecular chains. It is associated with high toughness, impact resistance, extremely low moisture absorption, low friction and strong abrasion resistance.
For a general material explanation, see the Wikipedia article about ultra-high-molecular-weight polyethylene.
Practical UHMWPE characteristics for reusable equipment support pads include:
Chemical resistance should not be interpreted as universal resistance to every substance. Actual compatibility can depend on the chemical, concentration, temperature, exposure time and selected UHMWPE grade.
Outrigger support pads are repeatedly moved, positioned, loaded, recovered and transported.
During normal service, the panels may experience:
The toughness and impact resistance of UHMWPE make the material practical for reusable industrial support products.
A damaged panel should still be inspected before reuse. Visible cracks, deep cuts, severe deformation and damaged handle points require evaluation before the pad is returned to demanding equipment service.
Mobile cranes, concrete pumps and utility vehicles frequently operate outdoors.
The support pads may be exposed to:
The extremely low moisture absorption of UHMWPE makes it practical for reusable support components operating in wet or changing environments.
The pads should still be cleaned and inspected after wet or contaminated operation.
A hydraulic stabilizer transfers a concentrated reaction through a relatively small original equipment foot.
Rough Surface Outrigger Pads create a larger geometric contact area beneath that foot.
The performance of the complete support arrangement depends on:
A larger outside dimension provides a larger geometric footprint, but panel size alone should not be treated as a universal safe working load rating.
The correct support pad should not be selected only according to total vehicle weight or maximum crane lifting capacity.
Individual outrigger reactions can change according to:
Important selection factors include:
Each stabilizer location should be evaluated separately because the reaction and supporting surface may differ around the same machine.
Two pads with identical outside dimensions can behave differently when their thicknesses are different.
For example, a 600 × 600 mm pad may be supplied as:
An 800 × 800 mm panel may be supplied as:
Thickness can affect:
The correct thickness should be determined according to the actual equipment reaction, original foot dimensions, required support area, material grade and supporting condition.
Rough Surface Outrigger Pads can be used with many types of stabilizer-equipped machinery.
The correct dimensions, thickness and material grade should always be matched to the actual equipment support point.
Mobile crane outrigger reactions can change according to boom direction, working radius, lifted load, crane geometry and outrigger extension.
Before selecting a pad, consider:
The same crane may require different support arrangements at different operating locations or configurations.
Concrete pumps and boom trucks use hydraulic stabilizers to create a broader operating base.
Important factors include:
Each stabilizer position should be checked separately because reactions and supporting conditions can differ around the same equipment.
Correct positioning is important when using Rough Surface Outrigger Pads.
Before applying equipment load, check that:
The rough working surface should remain free from excessive mud, oil and hard debris before demanding use.
Reusable support pads should be inspected before each demanding equipment setup.
Check the upper textured surface, lower support face, outside edges, carrying handle, handle attachment points and the complete panel for visible cracks, deep cuts, deformation or excessive wear.
After use, mud, sand, gravel, oil and other debris should be removed from the primary working surfaces.
