Product Description

800mm UHMWPE Crane Outrigger Pads

800mm UHMWPE Crane Outrigger Pads are heavy-duty engineering-plastic support panels designed for mobile crane outriggers, concrete pump stabilizers, boom truck support legs, truck-mounted cranes, aerial work platforms and other machinery equipped with hydraulic stabilizers.

The product shown features a solid square structure, rounded outside corners, a broad working surface and integrated carrying holes positioned near the outside edges. Matching pads can be stacked together as a complete crane-support set for vehicle storage, transportation, warehouse organization and repeated equipment setup.

The 800 × 800 mm outside dimensions provide a practical geometric support area beneath compatible crane and heavy-equipment stabilizer feet. Different thicknesses can be selected according to the maximum individual outrigger reaction, original equipment-foot size, required effective support area and condition of the supporting surface.

Unlike temporary access mats that are installed continuously to create a vehicle route, 800mm UHMWPE Crane Outrigger Pads are positioned individually beneath each hydraulic stabilizer foot. Their main purpose is to increase the contact area between the original equipment foot and the supporting surface.

Reference Sizes of 800mm UHMWPE Crane Outrigger Pads

The main product size is approximately 800 × 800 mm. Practical thickness options commonly range from approximately 40 mm to 80 mm. Heavier or thicker versions should be selected only after reviewing the actual equipment reaction and operating conditions.

Reference Specification Approximate Solid Weight Typical Application
800 × 800 × 40 mm Approximately 24–25 kg Compact crane stabilizers and utility vehicles
800 × 800 × 50 mm Approximately 30–31 kg Mobile cranes, boom trucks and service vehicles
800 × 800 × 60 mm Approximately 36–38 kg Concrete pumps and medium lifting equipment
800 × 800 × 70 mm Approximately 42–44 kg Medium heavy-equipment stabilizers
800 × 800 × 80 mm Approximately 48–50 kg Heavy stabilizer and crane-support applications

The listed weights are approximate values for substantially solid polyethylene panels. Actual finished weight can vary according to the selected material grade, density, hand holes, carrying-handle structure, surface machining and edge treatment.

The approximately 800 × 800 × 40 mm format provides a relatively lightweight option where repeated transportation and manual positioning are important.

The approximately 800 × 800 × 50–60 mm formats provide a practical balance between panel thickness, structural stiffness, finished product weight and storage requirements.

The approximately 800 × 800 × 70–80 mm formats provide a thicker support structure for more demanding stabilizer applications but may require coordinated handling or suitable lifting equipment.

These dimensions are reference product options rather than universal safe-working-load ratings. Final size and thickness must be selected according to the maximum individual stabilizer reaction, original equipment-foot dimensions, required support area, material grade, loading duration and supporting surface conditions.

Related Reference Sizes

In addition to the 800 × 800 mm product, related square crane outrigger pads can be supplied in other practical dimensions.

Reference Pad Size Practical Thickness Typical Application
400 × 400 mm 40–50 mm Compact stabilizers and smaller service vehicles
500 × 500 mm 40–60 mm Utility vehicles and compact lifting equipment
600 × 600 mm 50–70 mm Mobile cranes and boom trucks
700 × 700 mm 50–80 mm Medium stabilizer applications
800 × 800 mm 40–80 mm Concrete pumps and medium heavy machinery
900 × 900 mm 60–100 mm Larger cranes and pumping equipment
1000 × 1000 mm 80–100 mm Large mobile cranes and heavy equipment
1200 × 1200 mm 80–120 mm Large-format stabilizer support

Large-format solid pads can have substantial finished weights. The transportation method, storage space and positioning equipment should therefore be considered before confirming the final specification.

Final dimensions, thickness, material grade, working-surface structure and carrying-handle configuration should always be matched to the approved product drawing and actual equipment-support requirement.

Solid Square Support Structure

The square structure provides a broad and practical geometric support footprint beneath compatible stabilizer feet.

A solid square crane pad can provide:

  • A broad support area beneath the equipment foot
  • Straight edges for organized storage and stacking
  • Compatibility with round, square or rectangular stabilizer feet
  • Multiple practical thickness options
  • A one-piece structure that is relatively easy to inspect
  • Convenient transport with matching support-pad sets

The original crane stabilizer foot should remain within the intended working area. It should not be positioned close to an unsupported outside edge.

The support pad should not bridge a deep opening, large unsupported void, unstable edge or unsuitable surface.

Rounded Edges and Corners

The reference product includes rounded outside corners and finished edges.

This structure can provide:

  • Reduced sharp projecting corners
  • Easier movement around stored products
  • Reduced edge concentration during routine handling
  • Convenient stacking with matching panels
  • A cleaner finished product appearance

Rounded corners do not change the requirement to keep the stabilizer foot within the primary working area.

Outside edges and corners should be checked regularly for deep cuts, excessive wear, cracks or permanent deformation.

Integrated Carrying Holes

The pads shown include integrated hand holes positioned close to the outside edges.

These openings provide defined gripping points when the panels need to be:

  • Removed from vehicle or warehouse storage
  • Moved toward individual stabilizer positions
  • Adjusted before equipment loading
  • Recovered after operation
  • Stacked with matching crane pads
  • Returned to the transport vehicle

Before moving a support pad, inspect:

  • The complete hand-hole edge
  • The remaining material around the opening
  • Visible cuts or cracks
  • Permanent deformation
  • Sharp damage that may affect handling

The hand holes are intended for transportation and positioning. They should not be treated as structural lifting points for suspending the complete support-pad stack.

Larger or thicker 800mm panels may require two-person handling or suitable mechanical equipment.

Stackable Support-Pad Design

The reference image shows multiple matching pads stacked together as a complete support set.

A stackable design can help with:

  • Keeping matching sizes and thicknesses together
  • Organizing vehicle and warehouse storage
  • Checking pad quantities before equipment setup
  • Confirming that every support pad has been recovered
  • Separating different material grades or surface structures
  • Preparing a complete set for transportation

Stacking the panels for storage does not mean several flat pads can automatically be stacked beneath an operating crane stabilizer.

Any multi-layer support arrangement should be evaluated according to the applied load, panel position, total support height and potential lateral movement.

UHMWPE Material Properties

UHMWPE stands for ultra-high-molecular-weight polyethylene. It is a thermoplastic polyethylene containing extremely long molecular chains.

For a general material explanation, see the Wikipedia article about ultra-high-molecular-weight polyethylene.

Practical characteristics of UHMWPE for crane-support products include:

  • High toughness and impact resistance
  • Strong abrasion resistance
  • Extremely low moisture absorption
  • Low coefficient of friction
  • Resistance to many acids and alkalis
  • Resistance to many corrosive chemical substances
  • Solid plastic construction that will not rust
  • Reusable performance for repeated equipment setup

UHMWPE can be considered where the support pads will be repeatedly transported, positioned, loaded, recovered and exposed to abrasive or wet operating conditions.

Finished properties can vary according to molecular weight, raw-material grade, manufacturing process, panel dimensions, temperature and loading duration.

Chemical resistance should not be interpreted as universal resistance to every substance. Compatibility depends on the chemical, concentration, contact time, temperature and selected material grade.

Optional HDPE Material

HDPE stands for high-density polyethylene. It is another thermoplastic polyethylene material used for a wide range of industrial products.

For a general material explanation, see the Wikipedia article about high-density polyethylene.

Practical HDPE characteristics can include:

  • Good strength-to-weight performance
  • Relatively rigid solid-panel construction
  • Low moisture absorption
  • Resistance to many chemical substances
  • Corrosion-resistant construction
  • Relatively easy cleaning
  • Suitability for repeated outdoor handling

UHMWPE is generally considered where particularly high impact toughness and abrasion resistance are important. HDPE can provide a practical balance of rigidity, durability and product cost for suitable general support requirements.

Impact and Wear Performance

800mm UHMWPE Crane Outrigger Pads may be repeatedly transported, positioned, loaded, recovered and stacked.

During regular operation, the pads may experience:

  • Repeated stabilizer-foot contact
  • Impact during placement and recovery
  • Dragging across hard surfaces
  • Contact with gravel, sand and mud
  • Repeated stacking during transportation
  • Outdoor weather exposure
  • Regular washing and cleaning

The toughness and abrasion resistance of UHMWPE make it suitable for reusable industrial support components.

Pads showing visible cracks, severe permanent deformation, deep cuts, damaged hand holes or excessive surface wear should be separated and evaluated before reuse.

Low Moisture Absorption

800mm UHMWPE Crane Outrigger Pads may be exposed to rain, wet ground, mud, washing water and humid storage environments.

UHMWPE absorbs very little moisture compared with conventional wooden support boards and does not rust like an unprotected steel plate.

The panels should still be cleaned and inspected after wet, muddy or contaminated operation.

Corrosion-Resistant Construction

Solid UHMWPE support panels do not experience the same rusting process as unprotected steel support plates.

This can reduce maintenance associated with:

  • Rust removal
  • Protective surface painting
  • Corrosion around exposed steel surfaces
  • Moisture absorption associated with wooden boards
  • Splintering associated with damaged timber products

Any optional metal handles, fasteners or identification plates should still be inspected for corrosion, bending and mechanical damage.

Working Surface Options

Different working surfaces can be produced according to the stabilizer-foot structure and equipment requirements.

Available options may include:

  • Smooth working surface
  • Lightly textured surface
  • Rough anti-slip surface
  • Cross-groove pattern
  • Grid-pattern surface
  • Circular recessed working area
  • Concentric circular grooves

A textured surface can make the intended upper working face easier to identify and provide additional surface texture beneath the equipment foot.

Surface texture should not be treated as a replacement for correct pad sizing, sufficient thickness, suitable supporting conditions or proper stabilizer-foot positioning.

How 800mm UHMWPE Crane Outrigger Pads Work

A hydraulic crane stabilizer transfers a concentrated reaction through a relatively small original equipment foot.

800mm UHMWPE Crane Outrigger Pads provide a larger geometric contact area beneath that foot.

The performance of the complete support arrangement depends on:

  • Maximum individual stabilizer reaction
  • Panel length and width
  • Panel thickness
  • UHMWPE grade and structural response
  • Original stabilizer-foot dimensions
  • Position of the equipment foot
  • Supporting ground or floor condition
  • Duration and direction of loading
  • Support beneath the complete panel area

A larger geometric footprint can distribute the reaction over a broader area, but panel dimensions alone should not be treated as a universal safe-working-load rating.

How to Select the Correct Thickness

The correct thickness should not be selected only according to the total machine weight or maximum crane lifting capacity.

Individual stabilizer reactions can change according to:

  • Boom direction
  • Working radius
  • Lifted load
  • Outrigger extension
  • Equipment geometry
  • Operating configuration

Important selection information includes:

  • Maximum reaction at one stabilizer
  • Original equipment-foot dimensions
  • Required effective support area
  • Allowable pressure of the supporting surface
  • Required panel thickness
  • Material grade
  • Operating temperature
  • Duration of loading
  • Transportation and handling requirements

Each stabilizer position should be evaluated independently because reactions and supporting conditions can differ around the same crane.

Why Panel Thickness Matters

Two 800 × 800 mm support pads can respond differently when their thicknesses are different.

Common reference options include:

  • 800 × 800 × 40 mm
  • 800 × 800 × 50 mm
  • 800 × 800 × 60 mm
  • 800 × 800 × 70 mm
  • 800 × 800 × 80 mm

Panel thickness can affect:

  • Structural stiffness
  • Finished product weight
  • Manual or mechanical handling requirements
  • Vehicle-storage space
  • Response beneath the stabilizer foot
  • Long-term deformation during sustained loading

The thickest available pad is not automatically the correct option. Final selection should balance equipment reaction, support conditions, panel stiffness, weight and handling requirements.

Applications of 800mm UHMWPE Crane Outrigger Pads

800mm UHMWPE Crane Outrigger Pads can be used with many types of stabilizer-equipped machinery.

  • Mobile cranes
  • Truck-mounted cranes
  • Knuckle boom cranes
  • Concrete pump trucks
  • Boom pumps
  • Aerial work platforms
  • Cherry pickers and boom lifts
  • Utility service vehicles
  • Fire and rescue vehicles
  • Tree-care equipment
  • Vehicle-mounted work platforms
  • Maintenance vehicles
  • Heavy machinery stabilizers
  • Temporary equipment-support applications

The correct thickness, material grade and working-surface structure should always be matched to the actual equipment-support point.

Correct Stabilizer-Foot Positioning

Before applying the equipment load, confirm that:

  • The support pad is positioned correctly
  • The stabilizer foot remains within the intended central area
  • The foot is not located close to an unsupported edge
  • The panel is not spanning a large unsupported void
  • The lower surface is appropriately supported
  • Large stones or hard objects are not trapped beneath the panel
  • The support point is not close to an unstable edge

The working surface should remain free from excessive oil, mud, gravel, metal fragments and other hard debris.

Inspection Before Every Use

Reusable crane pads should be inspected before every demanding equipment setup.

Check:

  • The upper working surface
  • The lower support surface
  • The rounded outside corners
  • The integrated carrying holes
  • The material surrounding each opening
  • Visible cracks or permanent deformation
  • Deep cuts, gouges or excessive wear
  • Damage caused by concentrated equipment-foot contact

A damaged support pad should be separated and evaluated before returning to crane or heavy-equipment service.

Cleaning, Storage and Transportation

After operation, remove mud, sand, gravel, oil and other contaminants from the working surfaces.

During storage:

  • Keep matching sizes and thicknesses together
  • Avoid unstable support-pad stacks
  • Remove hard debris before stacking
  • Separate damaged support pads
  • Inspect hand holes before moving the panels
  • Use suitable lifting equipment for thicker products
  • Keep UHMWPE and HDPE products clearly identified
