Concrete Pump Outrigger Pads are durable UHMWPE support panels designed to distribute outrigger forces over a larger ground area. Common reference sizes include approximately 600 × 600 mm, 610 × 610 mm, 760 × 760 mm, 915 × 915 mm, 1070 × 1070 mm and 1220 × 1220 mm, with typical thickness options from 25 mm to 75 mm. The square structure, recessed center support area, integrated hand slot and reusable design make the pads suitable for concrete pump trucks, mobile cranes and other outrigger-equipped machinery.
Concrete Pump Outrigger Pads are heavy-duty support panels designed to create a larger and more stable contact area beneath the outriggers of concrete pump trucks, mobile cranes, boom trucks, lifting equipment, and other outrigger-equipped machinery. Manufactured from durable UHMWPE material, these square support pads help distribute concentrated outrigger forces across a wider surface area.
The product shown features a solid square structure, a recessed center support area, rounded corners, and an integrated hand slot. The recessed area helps provide a defined position for the outrigger foot, while the handling slot makes lifting, positioning, removal, and storage more convenient.
Unlike temporary road mats, which are designed to create continuous vehicle routes, outrigger pads are positioned directly below individual stabilizer feet. Their main function is to increase the effective support area between the equipment and the ground.
Concrete Pump Outrigger Pads are available in different square dimensions and thicknesses. The correct size depends on the outrigger reaction force, the size of the original equipment foot, the supporting ground condition, and the required ground pressure distribution.
Typical reference specifications include:
| Reference Size | Typical Thickness | Approx. Weight | Typical Application |
|---|---|---|---|
| 450 × 450 mm | 25–40 mm | Approximately 5–8 kg | Smaller stabilizers and light equipment |
| 600 × 600 mm | 40–50 mm | Approximately 14–17 kg | Compact concrete pumps and support equipment |
| 610 × 610 mm | Approximately 50 mm | Approximately 17 kg | General outrigger support |
| 760 × 760 mm | Approximately 50 mm | Approximately 27 kg | Medium equipment and larger support area |
| 915 × 915 mm | Approximately 50 mm | Approximately 39 kg | Concrete pump trucks and mobile equipment |
| 1070 × 1070 mm | Approximately 50 mm | Approximately 54 kg | Large outrigger reaction areas |
| 1220 × 1220 mm | Approximately 50 mm | Approximately 68 kg | Demanding equipment support applications |
Other practical thickness options may include approximately 25 mm, 38 mm, 50 mm, 60 mm, and 75 mm. Larger or thicker pads should be selected according to actual equipment and ground conditions rather than equipment weight alone.
Reference weights are approximate because the final weight can change according to material grade, exact dimensions, recessed areas, handling holes, edge shape, and surface structure.
The correct pad size should not be selected only according to the total weight of the concrete pump truck or crane. The force acting through each individual outrigger can vary significantly according to equipment configuration and operating conditions.
Important selection factors include:
The required pad area should be sufficient to reduce the pressure transferred to the supporting surface. After the necessary contact area is determined, the material, thickness, and pad structure can be selected.

The main material used for these Concrete Pump Outrigger Pads is UHMWPE, or ultra-high-molecular-weight polyethylene. This engineering plastic provides a useful combination of toughness, impact resistance, low water absorption, corrosion resistance, and outdoor durability.
These material characteristics make the pads suitable for repeated placement, removal, transportation, and storage.
Compared with steel support plates, polyethylene pads do not rust. Compared with many traditional timber blocks, the material has low water absorption and is easier to clean after contact with mud, water, and outdoor surfaces.
Typical advantages include:
The product shown uses a recessed circular area on the upper surface. This structural feature creates a defined contact position for the stabilizer or outrigger foot.
The recessed support area can help operators position the equipment foot closer to the intended center of the pad.
Correct positioning is important because the outrigger force should be transferred into the pad as intended. A foot positioned too close to an unsupported edge may create a different loading condition from a foot positioned over the designed support area.
The diameter and depth of the recessed area should match the actual equipment foot dimensions and the intended support structure.
Each pad can include an integrated hand slot near the edge. This provides a defined gripping position when the pad needs to be lifted, pulled, positioned, removed, or placed into storage.
The handling slot is particularly useful because outrigger pads are frequently moved between the equipment storage position and the ground during setup and recovery.
Typical handling considerations include:
Larger and heavier pads should be handled using methods appropriate to their actual size and weight.
A concrete pump or crane outrigger transfers a concentrated reaction force through a relatively small support foot.
Concrete Pump Outrigger Pads increase the contact area between the equipment and the supporting surface. A larger effective support area can help reduce concentrated ground pressure when the mat size, thickness, material, and ground conditions are appropriate.
The objective is not simply to place any plastic board under the outrigger. The support system should consider:
If the ground is severely uneven or part of the pad is unsupported, the pad may behave differently from the same product placed on a firm and evenly supported surface.
Concrete Pump Outrigger Pads can be used with a range of equipment that relies on stabilizer legs or outriggers during operation.
Typical applications include:
The exact pad specification should always be selected according to the individual equipment and operating conditions.
Concrete pump trucks use outriggers to create a wider support base during pumping operations. The forces acting through these supports can change according to the equipment configuration and working position.
A suitable outrigger pad provides a larger support surface beneath each stabilizer foot.
When selecting pads for a concrete pump truck, consider:
The same equipment may require different consideration on firm pavement, compacted gravel, soft soil, or other surfaces.
Mobile cranes and other lifting equipment also use outriggers to create a stable operating base.
Concrete Pump Outrigger Pads may also be suitable for selected crane and lifting equipment applications when the dimensions and structural requirements are appropriate.
Typical equipment may include:
Larger lifting operations may require larger engineered crane pads or a different support system. Product selection should follow actual equipment reactions and ground conditions.
Outrigger pads may be used on different supporting surfaces, but the ground beneath the pad remains an important part of the complete system.
Typical surfaces include:
Before placing a pad, inspect the area for:
A pad should have suitable support beneath its effective area. Placing a pad across a void or unsupported edge may create a different loading condition.
The square shape provides a practical support area and allows multiple pads to be stacked efficiently during storage.
Common square formats include approximately:
Smaller pads are easier to handle but provide less contact area. Larger pads create a wider support surface but require more consideration for weight, storage, and movement.
The correct balance depends on equipment requirements and operating conditions.
The upper and lower surfaces can use suitable textures according to the application.
A textured surface can help provide more contact than a completely smooth plastic face.
Possible surface features include:
The final surface design should suit the actual outrigger foot and installation environment.
A major advantage of Concrete Pump Outrigger Pads is their reusable structure.
After equipment operation is completed, the pads can be:
The regular square shape shown in the product image allows multiple pads to be stacked neatly when they are not in use.
Reusable pads should still be inspected regularly before demanding applications.
Routine inspection helps identify damage before an outrigger load is applied.
Check the following areas:
A damaged pad should be evaluated before it is returned to demanding service.
The supporting ground should also be checked each time the equipment is repositioned.
The square, flat design allows the pads to be stacked for equipment storage and transportation.
Smaller pads can often be carried individually using the integrated hand slot, while larger formats require handling methods suitable for their actual weight.
During storage:
Organized storage helps keep a complete set of pads available for the next equipment setup.
