Product Description

Anti Slip Outrigger Pads

Anti Slip Outrigger Pads are heavy-duty UHMWPE support panels designed to increase the effective contact area beneath crane outriggers, concrete pump stabilizers, boom truck support legs, aerial work equipment, utility vehicles, and other outrigger-equipped machinery. The product shown features a simple square structure, rough textured working surface, rounded corners, and an integrated rectangular hand hole.

Unlike completely smooth plastic support plates, these pads use a rough working surface designed to provide additional surface interaction during equipment setup. The solid square structure creates a practical ground-support footprint, while the integrated hand hole provides a convenient gripping position for handling, positioning, removal, transportation, and storage.

The black pads shown are designed for repeated industrial use. Multiple pad sizes and thicknesses allow the support system to be selected according to the individual outrigger reaction, stabilizer foot dimensions, ground condition, required support area, handling method, and equipment configuration.

Unlike temporary roadway mats, which are installed continuously to create access routes, outrigger pads are positioned directly beneath individual equipment stabilizers. Their primary function is to increase the effective support area between the equipment foot and the supporting surface.

Typical Sizes of Anti Slip Outrigger Pads

Anti Slip Outrigger Pads are available in a wide range of square dimensions and thicknesses. The reference product family shown includes compact pads for smaller equipment as well as large support panels for demanding machinery applications.

Typical practical sizes include:

Reference Size Typical Thickness Approx. Solid Pad Weight Typical Application
400 × 400 mm 40 mm Approximately 6 kg Small stabilizers and compact equipment
500 × 500 mm 40–60 mm Approximately 9–14 kg Utility vehicles and lighter equipment
600 × 600 mm 40–60 mm Approximately 13–20 kg General crane and machinery outriggers
800 × 800 mm 40–60 mm Approximately 24–36 kg Medium heavy equipment support
1000 × 1000 mm 40–80 mm Approximately 37–74 kg Large stabilizer support areas
1200 × 1200 mm 40–100 mm Approximately 54–134 kg Heavy equipment and larger outriggers
1500 × 1500 mm 100 mm Approximately 209 kg Large equipment support platforms
1800 × 1800 mm 100 mm Approximately 301 kg Heavy machinery support applications
2000 × 1000 mm 100 mm Approximately 186 kg Rectangular heavy equipment support
3000 × 2000 mm 100 mm Approximately 558 kg Large industrial support applications

The approximate weights above are reference values for solid UHMWPE panels. Actual finished product weight can vary according to exact material density, dimensional tolerance, carrying holes, machined edges, surface texture, recessed areas, and other structural features.

Common thickness options include approximately 40 mm, 50 mm, 60 mm, 80 mm, and 100 mm. Smaller sizes may also use thinner specifications where the actual equipment and support conditions are appropriate.

Detailed Square Pad Size Range

The following size combinations provide practical reference options for different equipment support requirements:

Pad Size Available Reference Thicknesses
400 × 400 mm 40 mm
500 × 500 mm 40 mm, 50 mm, 60 mm
600 × 600 mm 40 mm, 50 mm, 60 mm
800 × 800 mm 40 mm, 50 mm, 60 mm
1000 × 1000 mm 40 mm, 50 mm, 60 mm, 80 mm
1200 × 1200 mm 40 mm, 60 mm, 80 mm, 100 mm
1500 × 1500 mm 100 mm
1800 × 1800 mm 100 mm
2000 × 1000 mm 100 mm
3000 × 2000 mm 100 mm

This wide specification range allows the support pad dimensions to be matched more closely to different stabilizer feet, required bearing areas, equipment categories, and handling conditions.

The largest outside dimension should not automatically be selected for every machine. The final pad size and thickness need to suit the actual maximum outrigger reaction, ground bearing condition, pad stiffness, storage arrangement, and operating procedure.

Final dimensions, thickness, material structure, surface finish, and handling features should be selected according to the actual equipment and operating conditions.

Rough Anti-Slip Working Surface

The most visible feature of Anti Slip Outrigger Pads is the rough textured working surface.

Instead of using a completely smooth plastic face, the pad surface has a fine industrial texture. This provides a different contact condition between the pad, equipment support foot, and surrounding working environment.

The rough surface can help provide:

  • A clearly defined working face
  • Additional surface texture compared with a smooth plastic plate
  • Practical contact for repeated outrigger setup
  • Improved handling in wet or dirty outdoor environments
  • A durable surface suitable for repeated equipment use

The surface texture does not replace correct pad sizing, equipment positioning, stable ground, or proper inspection.

Large stones, metal parts, timber fragments, or other hard objects should not remain trapped between the pad and supporting ground because they can create concentrated contact points.

Difference Between Rough and Smooth Outrigger Pads

Different equipment applications can require different surface structures.

A smooth pad provides a relatively flat working surface, while a rough pad adds surface texture.

The rough design may be preferred where:

  • The product is repeatedly handled outdoors
  • The pad is used around mud or moisture
  • A clearly textured upper working surface is preferred
  • The equipment is frequently repositioned
  • The product is used in general industrial environments

A smoother product may be selected for different equipment contact conditions or where another surface structure is required.

The correct choice depends on the complete stabilizer foot, pad, ground, and operating environment.

Integrated Carrying Hand Hole

The rectangular hand hole is another important feature of the product shown.

Instead of using an external rope or metal handle, the carrying position is integrated directly into the body of the support pad.

This structure can help when the pad needs to be:

  • Removed from vehicle storage
  • Carried toward the equipment
  • Positioned beneath the stabilizer
  • Adjusted before equipment loading
  • Removed after operation
  • Stacked for transportation
  • Returned to equipment storage

The integrated opening eliminates the need for an external handle component on this specific product design.

Before handling, the hand hole and surrounding material should be visually checked for cracks, deep cuts, severe deformation, or other visible damage.

Compact Square Design

The square structure provides a practical combination of support area, handling, stacking, transportation, and storage.

Square pads can be:

  • Stacked in organized groups
  • Stored inside equipment compartments
  • Positioned using clear straight edges
  • Produced in many different dimensions
  • Matched with different stabilizer foot sizes

The product shown also uses rounded outside corners, which create a cleaner edge structure than sharp square corners.

Smaller square pads are generally easier to handle but provide less geometric support area.

Larger pads provide a broader footprint but require greater consideration for component weight, transportation, storage, lifting method, and equipment support conditions.

How Anti Slip Outrigger Pads Distribute Load

An equipment stabilizer transfers a concentrated reaction through a relatively small original support foot.

Anti Slip Outrigger Pads increase the effective contact area between the stabilizer system and the supporting surface.

The relationship between force and area means that increasing the effective support area can reduce concentrated pressure on the supporting surface, provided that the complete pad has suitable material properties and structural stiffness.

The effectiveness of the support arrangement depends on:

  • Maximum individual outrigger reaction
  • Pad dimensions
  • Pad thickness
  • Material properties
  • Pad stiffness
  • Original stabilizer foot dimensions
  • Ground bearing condition
  • Load position
  • Support beneath the complete pad

A large outside dimension alone should not be treated as a universal capacity guarantee.

How to Select the Correct Pad Size

The correct size should not be selected only according to the total vehicle weight or rated lifting capacity of a crane.

Different outriggers on the same machine can experience different reaction forces according to the operating configuration.

Important selection factors include:

  • Maximum individual outrigger reaction
  • Allowable ground bearing pressure
  • Original support foot size
  • Required effective pad area
  • UHMWPE pad thickness
  • Pad stiffness
  • Boom direction
  • Working radius
  • Load position
  • Equipment configuration
  • Ground condition

A practical starting point is to determine the pad area required to reduce the equipment reaction to a pressure appropriate for the supporting surface.

After the required area has been determined, the material, thickness, strength, stiffness, and construction of the pad should also be reviewed.

For additional professional information, see this external resource about outrigger pad sizing guidance.

Why the Original Load Table Should Be Treated Carefully

Product reference tables sometimes show one load-capacity value beside each pad dimension.

However, actual support performance depends on more than the outside size of the pad.

The same pad can behave differently when used:

  • On firm concrete
  • On asphalt
  • On compacted gravel
  • On soft soil
  • Near an unsupported edge
  • Above an underground void
  • With the stabilizer positioned near the pad edge

For this reason, the dimensions in this product page are presented as practical size references rather than unconditional safe working load guarantees.

Final selection should consider the actual machine, maximum stabilizer reaction, supporting ground, pad material, thickness, and complete setup arrangement.

Why Pad Thickness Matters

Two pads with identical outside dimensions can perform differently if their thicknesses or material structures are different.

Important factors include:

  • Panel thickness
  • UHMWPE material structure
  • Original stabilizer foot dimensions
  • Position of the applied load
  • Supporting ground stiffness
  • Complete pad support

A pad that is too flexible for an application may not spread the applied force over the complete intended area.

This is why product selection should consider both the outside dimensions and the thickness.

Durable UHMWPE Construction

The main material used for Anti Slip Outrigger Pads is ultra-high-molecular-weight polyethylene.

The material provides a practical combination of:

  • Impact resistance
  • Wear resistance
  • Low water absorption
  • Moisture resistance
  • Corrosion resistance
  • Repeated outdoor usability
  • Reusable performance
  • Easy-to-clean surfaces

These characteristics make the pads suitable for equipment support products that are repeatedly transported, positioned, loaded, removed, cleaned, inspected, and stored.

Unlike steel support plates, UHMWPE does not rust.

Compared with conventional timber supports, manufactured plastic pads have low water absorption and do not rely on natural wood grain, knots, or changing moisture content.

Wear Resistance for Repeated Handling

Outrigger pads are frequently moved between vehicle storage areas and equipment support positions.

During repeated operation, they may experience:

  • Dragging during positioning
  • Contact with gravel
  • Mud and sand contamination
  • Repeated equipment foot contact
  • Stacking during transportation
  • Outdoor moisture exposure

The wear-resistant characteristics of UHMWPE make it suitable for repeated support applications when the product is correctly selected and regularly inspected.

The rough surface, hand hole, edges, and lower support face should still be checked before demanding equipment use.

Applications of Anti Slip Outrigger Pads

Anti Slip Outrigger Pads can be used with many types of machinery that rely on outriggers or stabilizers during operation.

Typical applications include:

  • Mobile cranes
  • Truck-mounted cranes
  • Knuckle boom cranes
  • Concrete pump trucks
  • Boom trucks
  • Aerial work platforms
  • Digger derricks
  • Utility service vehicles
  • Well drilling equipment
  • Forestry machinery
  • Maintenance vehicles
  • Heavy machinery stabilizers
  • Selected industrial lifting equipment

The correct pad dimensions and thickness should always be matched to the actual equipment and operating conditions.

Mobile Crane Applications

Mobile cranes use outriggers to create a wider operating base during lifting operations.

The reaction acting through each individual outrigger can change according to:

  • Boom direction
  • Working radius
  • Load position
  • Outrigger extension
  • Crane geometry
  • Operating configuration

When selecting support pads for a mobile crane, consider:

  • Maximum individual outrigger reaction
  • Original crane foot dimensions
  • Required support area
  • Supporting ground condition
  • Pad thickness
  • Material stiffness
  • Final operating configuration

The same crane may require different support considerations when operating on concrete, asphalt, gravel, compacted soil, or softer surfaces.

Concrete Pump Truck Applications

Concrete pump trucks also rely on stabilizers to create a wider operating base.

Anti Slip Outrigger Pads may be used beneath pump truck support legs when the selected dimensions, material, thickness, and complete equipment setup are appropriate.

Important factors include:

  • Maximum stabilizer reaction
  • Boom configuration
  • Working position
  • Original support foot dimensions
  • Ground condition
  • Required support area
  • Pad stiffness

Each stabilizer location should be evaluated according to its actual support condition.

Boom Trucks and Utility Equipment

Boom trucks and utility vehicles often use stabilizers during lifting, aerial access, maintenance, and material handling operations.

Typical equipment includes:

  • Utility service trucks
  • Digger derricks
  • Aerial work vehicles
  • Truck-mounted lifting equipment
  • Maintenance vehicles
  • Service cranes
  • Forestry vehicles

The required support pad should be selected according to actual stabilizer reactions and ground conditions rather than the vehicle category alone.

Use on Compacted Soil

Compacted soil can vary according to moisture, previous excavation, fill material, and compaction quality.

Before equipment setup, inspect for:

  • Soft areas
  • Loose fill
  • Recent excavation
  • Underground voids
  • Standing water
  • Severe slopes
  • Unstable edges

The complete effective area of the pad should receive suitable support underneath.

A larger pad cannot automatically make unsuitable ground safe.

Use on Gravel

Prepared gravel surfaces are common around industrial equipment and temporary operating areas.

Before placing the pad, check:

  • Surface level
  • Compaction
  • Large loose stones
  • Deep depressions
  • Nearby edges
  • Previous ground movement

Large stones or hard objects directly beneath the pad can create concentrated support points and should be removed before loading.

Use on Asphalt

Asphalt performance can vary according to temperature, pavement thickness, underlying structure, and existing damage.

Consider:

  • High surface temperatures
  • Existing cracks
  • Underground structures
  • Drain covers
  • Surface depressions
  • Unsupported pavement edges

A correctly selected pad increases the effective support area, but the underlying pavement still needs to be appropriate for the equipment operation.

Use on Concrete

Concrete surfaces should also be evaluated before equipment setup.

Inspect for:

  • Cracks
  • Slab edges
  • Drainage structures
  • Underground voids
  • Damaged sections
  • Changes in surface level

The visible upper surface does not always reveal the complete supporting condition below the equipment.

Multiple Pad Sizes for Different Equipment

The wide dimensional range allows the same product family to cover many support requirements.

Compact sizes such as approximately 400 × 400 × 40 mm and 500 × 500 × 40–60 mm provide practical options for smaller stabilizers.

Mid-range formats such as approximately 600 × 600 × 40–60 mm and 800 × 800 × 40–60 mm are suitable reference sizes for general equipment support.

Larger formats such as approximately 1000 × 1000 × 40–80 mm and 1200 × 1200 × 40–100 mm provide broader geometric support areas.

Large rectangular or square panels can also be considered for specialized heavy-equipment support systems.

Reusable Equipment Support Pads

A major advantage of Anti Slip Outrigger Pads is their reusable structure.

After equipment operation is completed, the pads can be:

  • Removed from beneath the stabilizers
  • Cleaned
  • Inspected
  • Stacked
  • Returned to equipment storage
  • Transported to another operating location

The simple square shape makes complete pad sets easier to organize during transportation and storage.

Inspection Before Every Setup

Reusable equipment support pads should be inspected before demanding applications.

Check:

  • Rough upper working surface
  • Lower support surface
  • Integrated hand hole
  • Material around the hand hole
  • Pad edges and corners
  • Visible cracks
  • Severe deformation
  • Deep cuts or gouges
  • Excessive surface wear

A damaged pad should be evaluated before returning to heavy equipment support service.

The supporting ground should also be inspected each time the equipment is repositioned.

Cleaning the Rough Surface

Mud, sand, gravel, oil, and other debris can remain on the rough working surface after outdoor operations.

Cleaning can help:

  • Make visual inspection easier
  • Remove debris from the textured surface
  • Keep the hand hole clear
  • Improve organized storage
  • Prepare the pad for the next equipment setup

Large debris on or beneath the support pad should be removed before equipment loading.

Storage and Transportation

The regular square shape and integrated hand hole make the pads practical for organized storage and transportation.

During storage:

  • Keep complete pad sets together
  • Avoid unstable stacking
  • Inspect hand holes before lifting
  • Separate damaged pads
  • Remove excessive mud and debris
  • Keep working surfaces available for inspection

Handling procedures should always match the actual pad dimensions and weight.

Large-format products may require suitable mechanical handling methods because product weight increases significantly with panel dimensions and thickness.
