Product Description

Boom Truck Outrigger Pads

Boom Truck Outrigger Pads are heavy-duty UHMWPE or HDPE support panels designed to increase the effective contact area beneath boom truck outriggers, truck-mounted crane stabilizers, concrete pump support legs, aerial equipment, utility vehicles, trailers, mobile machinery, and other outrigger-equipped equipment.

The product shown combines a solid square support structure, rounded outside corners, practical nylon carrying handles, and several different working-surface options. Available surface designs can include a recessed center area, a smooth working surface, and an X-groove pattern.

This range is especially suitable for boom trucks and other mobile equipment that need reusable support pads during repeated setup, relocation, recovery, transportation, and storage.

Unlike temporary road mats, which are installed continuously to create vehicle access routes, outrigger pads are positioned directly beneath individual equipment feet. Their main purpose is to create a larger support interface between the original stabilizer foot and the supporting surface.

Important: The load values above are reference figures reproduced from the supplied product sheet. They should not be interpreted as universal safe working loads for every equipment setup, ground condition, material grade, stabilizer position, or operating configuration.

Final product selection should consider the maximum individual outrigger reaction, original stabilizer foot dimensions, required support area, ground condition, pad material, thickness, structural stiffness, load position, and actual equipment configuration.

Practical Size Groups

Different pad sizes are suitable for different equipment categories and handling requirements.

Compact Support Pads

Typical compact formats include:

  • 300 × 300 × 30 mm
  • 300 × 300 × 40 mm
  • 400 × 400 × 40 mm
  • 400 × 400 × 50 mm
  • 400 × 400 × 60 mm

These compact dimensions can be practical for smaller stabilizer feet, lighter mobile equipment, limited storage spaces, and applications where individual handling is important.

Medium Boom Truck Support Pads

Typical medium-size formats include:

  • 500 × 500 × 40 mm
  • 500 × 500 × 50 mm
  • 500 × 500 × 60 mm
  • 600 × 600 × 40 mm
  • 600 × 600 × 50 mm
  • 600 × 600 × 60 mm

The approximately 500 × 500 mm and 600 × 600 mm series provide practical reference formats for boom trucks, utility vehicles, truck-mounted cranes, service equipment, and other frequently relocated machinery.

Large Equipment Support Pads

Typical larger formats include:

  • 700 × 700 × 50–80 mm
  • 800 × 800 × 50–90 mm
  • 900 × 900 × 60–80 mm
  • 1000 × 1000 × 50–80 mm

Larger pads provide a greater geometric support area but also require additional consideration for finished weight, transportation, vehicle storage, mechanical handling, material stiffness, and the complete equipment support arrangement.

Three Surface Options for Boom Truck Outrigger Pads

One of the most distinctive features of this Boom Truck Outrigger Pads range is the availability of several working-surface structures.

The reference product image shows three main options:

  • Recessed center surface
  • Smooth surface
  • X-groove surface

Different surface structures can be selected according to the stabilizer foot, working environment, cleaning requirements, positioning method, and equipment setup.

Recessed Center Surface

The recessed surface option includes a circular positioning area near the center of the pad.

This structure can provide:

  • A visible reference for equipment-foot positioning
  • A defined central working area
  • More consistent repeated stabilizer placement
  • Easy identification of the intended pad center

The diameter and depth of the recessed section should match the actual stabilizer foot and complete pad structure.

The recess should not be assumed to fit every boom truck or crane foot without checking the actual dimensions.

Smooth Surface Option

The smooth surface provides a simple and clean upper working face.

This option can be practical where:

  • A flat equipment contact surface is preferred
  • Easy cleaning is important
  • No center recess is required
  • The pad is used for multiple equipment types
  • A simple industrial support surface is preferred

A smooth surface should still be kept free from mud, oil, stones, metal fragments, and other debris before demanding equipment use.

X-Groove Surface Option

The X-groove version uses crossed diagonal grooves across the main working surface.

This design creates a more pronounced surface pattern than a completely smooth panel.

The X-groove structure can provide:

  • A clearly identifiable working surface
  • A distinctive industrial appearance
  • Defined channels across the pad face
  • Easy differentiation between surface types
  • A practical option for repeated outdoor use

The groove pattern does not replace correct pad sizing, stable ground, suitable material thickness, correct stabilizer positioning, or regular inspection.

Rounded Corner Design

The product shown uses rounded outside corners instead of sharp 90-degree projecting edges.

Rounded corners can provide:

  • A cleaner product profile
  • Fewer sharp projecting outside corners
  • More practical handling around vehicles
  • Organized stacking and storage
  • A finished industrial appearance

The final corner radius should maintain an appropriate balance between handling convenience and usable support area.

Nylon Carrying Handles

The reference product uses practical nylon carrying handles positioned along the pad edges.

These handles can help when the pads need to be:

  • Removed from vehicle storage
  • Carried toward individual stabilizer positions
  • Positioned before equipment setup
  • Adjusted before loading
  • Recovered after operation
  • Stacked for transportation
  • Returned to equipment storage

Before moving a pad, inspect:

  • The nylon handle
  • The handle attachment points
  • The surrounding plastic material
  • Visible cuts or excessive wear
  • Loose or damaged components

The handles are designed for pad handling and positioning. They should not be treated as components supporting the equipment load.

Dedicated Identification Area

The reference product image also shows an area that can be used for product identification.

A defined marking area can be useful for:

  • Equipment fleet identification
  • Pad-size identification
  • Product-set organization
  • Inventory management
  • Separating equipment groups
  • Checking pad ownership and location

The identification area should not reduce the main structural performance or interfere with the primary equipment support surface.

UHMWPE Material Option

One primary material option for Boom Truck Outrigger Pads is ultra-high-molecular-weight polyethylene, commonly abbreviated as UHMWPE.

UHMWPE is a thermoplastic polyethylene material with extremely long molecular chains. The material is widely associated with toughness, impact resistance, low moisture absorption, low friction, and 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:

  • High impact resistance
  • Wear resistance
  • Low water absorption
  • Resistance to many acids and alkalis
  • Resistance to many corrosive chemicals
  • Reusable industrial performance
  • Easy-to-clean plastic surfaces

Chemical resistance should not be treated as universal resistance to every substance. Actual compatibility depends on the chemical, concentration, temperature, contact time, material grade, and operating environment.

HDPE Material Option

High-density polyethylene, commonly abbreviated as HDPE, is another material option for selected support pad applications.

HDPE belongs to the polyethylene family and is widely associated with a relatively high strength-to-density ratio and resistance to many solvents.

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

Practical HDPE characteristics can include:

  • Good strength-to-weight performance
  • Moisture-resistant plastic construction
  • Resistance to many solvents
  • Corrosion-resistant performance
  • Practical outdoor use
  • Reusable product construction

The final choice between UHMWPE and HDPE should consider the actual equipment reaction, impact conditions, wear requirements, environmental exposure, product dimensions, thickness, and operating requirements.

UHMWPE or HDPE: Which Material Should Be Selected?

The correct material depends on the complete application.

Selection FactorUHMWPEHDPE
Repeated impactOften preferred for more demanding impact conditionsSuitable for many general support applications
Wear resistanceCommonly selected for demanding wear conditionsPractical for general industrial use
Moisture exposureLow water absorptionMoisture-resistant
Industrial environmentsSuitable for many demanding applicationsSuitable for many general applications
Product selectionBased on actual operating requirementsBased on actual operating requirements

The material name alone does not determine the complete performance of a support pad.

Dimensions, thickness, material grade, manufacturing process, equipment reaction, support-foot position, and underlying ground condition also need to be considered.

How Boom Truck Outrigger Pads Distribute Load

A boom truck stabilizer transfers a concentrated reaction through a relatively small original support foot.

Boom Truck Outrigger Pads create a larger geometric support interface beneath the stabilizer.

The effectiveness of the complete support arrangement depends on:

  • Maximum individual outrigger reaction
  • Pad dimensions
  • Pad thickness
  • Material grade
  • Material stiffness
  • Original stabilizer foot dimensions
  • Supporting ground condition
  • Position of the equipment foot
  • Support beneath the complete pad

A larger outside dimension provides a larger geometric footprint, but it should not be treated as a universal safe-working-load guarantee.

How to Select the Correct Pad Size

The correct support pad should not be selected only according to total vehicle weight or rated lifting capacity.

Individual boom truck outriggers can experience different reactions according to:

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

Important selection factors include:

  • Maximum individual outrigger reaction
  • Original equipment foot dimensions
  • Required support area
  • Ground condition
  • Material selection
  • Pad thickness
  • Structural stiffness
  • Surface design
  • Handling requirements

The reference load table on this page should therefore be used as product information rather than as a substitute for evaluating the actual equipment and support conditions.

Why Pad Thickness Matters

The reference product sheet clearly shows that the same outside dimensions can be supplied in several thicknesses.

For example, the 500 × 500 mm series includes:

  • 500 × 500 × 40 mm
  • 500 × 500 × 50 mm
  • 500 × 500 × 60 mm
  • 500 × 500 × 80 mm

The 600 × 600 mm series includes:

  • 600 × 600 × 40 mm
  • 600 × 600 × 50 mm
  • 600 × 600 × 60 mm
  • 600 × 600 × 80 mm

The 800 × 800 mm series includes:

  • 800 × 800 × 50 mm
  • 800 × 800 × 60 mm
  • 800 × 800 × 80 mm
  • 800 × 800 × 90 mm

Two pads with the same length and width can have different structural behavior when their thicknesses are different.

Thickness selection should consider:

  • Maximum individual stabilizer reaction
  • Original equipment foot dimensions
  • Material stiffness
  • Supporting ground condition
  • Required geometric area
  • Handling and storage requirements

Applications of Boom Truck Outrigger Pads

Boom Truck Outrigger Pads can be used with different types of stabilizer-equipped machinery.

Typical applications include:

  • Boom trucks
  • Truck-mounted cranes
  • Knuckle boom cranes
  • Mobile cranes
  • Concrete pump trucks
  • Boom pumps
  • Aerial work platforms
  • Digger derricks
  • Utility service vehicles
  • Trailer stabilizers
  • Mobile exhibition equipment
  • Selected recreational vehicle jack pads
  • Industrial mobile plant
  • Heavy machinery stabilizers

The correct product specification should always be matched to the actual equipment and operating conditions.

Boom Truck Applications

Boom trucks frequently move between several operating locations and need stabilizer support during lifting or material-handling operations.

Practical product characteristics for this equipment can include:

  • Stackable square pad design
  • Multiple size options
  • Nylon carrying handles
  • Rounded outside corners
  • Different surface patterns
  • Reusable plastic construction

Individual stabilizer reactions can change according to boom position, working radius, lifted load, and equipment configuration.

The required pad should therefore be selected according to the actual support point rather than total truck weight alone.

Truck-Mounted Crane Applications

Truck-mounted cranes and knuckle boom cranes use stabilizers to create a wider operating base.

Important considerations include:

  • Maximum individual support reaction
  • Original stabilizer foot dimensions
  • Boom direction
  • Working radius
  • Required support area
  • Ground condition
  • Pad material and thickness

Different support positions around the same vehicle may experience different forces.

Concrete Pump Applications

Concrete pump trucks also rely on stabilizers during operation.

Important product-selection 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 equipment reaction and supporting surface.

Aerial and Utility Equipment

The product range can also be used with selected aerial and utility equipment.

Typical machinery can include:

  • Aerial work platforms
  • Utility service trucks
  • Digger derricks
  • Tree-maintenance equipment
  • Maintenance vehicles
  • Mobile lifting equipment

The multiple surface and handle options can be practical for fleet equipment that is transported and repositioned frequently.

Trailer and Mobile Equipment Support

Selected pad sizes can also be used as stabilizer support products beneath compatible trailers and mobile equipment.

Possible applications include:

  • Trailer stabilizers
  • Mobile exhibition units
  • Selected caravan jack systems
  • Mobile industrial equipment
  • Temporary machinery support

The pad should always match the actual support load, equipment foot dimensions, and underlying surface.

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 intended working area of the pad should receive suitable support underneath.

A larger support pad cannot automatically make unsuitable ground safe.

Use on Gravel

Prepared gravel is common around mobile and industrial equipment.

Before placing the pad, check:

  • Surface level
  • Compaction
  • Large loose stones
  • Deep depressions
  • Nearby unsupported edges
  • Evidence of previous ground movement

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

Use on Asphalt and Concrete

Hard surfaces should also be evaluated before equipment setup.

Inspect for:

  • Existing cracks
  • Slab edges
  • Drain covers
  • Underground structures
  • Surface depressions
  • Damaged pavement areas

The visible upper surface does not always show the complete support condition below the equipment.

Correct Stabilizer Positioning

Correct equipment-foot positioning is important when using Boom Truck Outrigger Pads.

Before loading, check that:

  • The pad is correctly positioned
  • The stabilizer foot is within the intended working area
  • The support pad is not spanning a large unsupported void
  • The lower surface has suitable support
  • Large objects are not trapped beneath the pad
  • The stabilizer is not unintentionally positioned near an unsupported edge

For recessed surface products, the equipment foot should also match the intended center area and product structure.

Reusable Equipment Support Pads

A major advantage of Boom Truck Outrigger Pads is their reusable construction.

After equipment operation, the pads can be:

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

The square structure, rounded corners, and carrying handles make complete equipment sets easier to organize.

Inspection Before Every Setup

Reusable support pads should be inspected before demanding applications.

Check:

  • Upper working surface
  • Lower support surface
  • Recessed areas
  • X-groove channels
  • Rounded corners
  • Nylon carrying handles
  • Handle attachment points
  • Visible cracks
  • Severe deformation
  • Deep cuts or gouges
  • Excessive surface wear

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

Cleaning After Outdoor Use

Mud, sand, gravel, oil, and other debris can remain on the pads after equipment operation.

Cleaning can help:

  • Make visual inspection easier
  • Remove debris from recessed areas
  • Clear X-groove channels
  • Keep nylon handles accessible
  • Improve organized storage
  • Prepare the pads for the next setup

Large debris should be removed from all main support surfaces before equipment loading.

Storage and Transportation

The regular square shape makes matching pads practical to organize as complete equipment sets.

During storage:

  • Keep matching sizes together
  • Avoid unstable stacking
  • Inspect handles before moving products
  • Separate damaged pads
  • Remove excessive mud and contamination
  • Keep working surfaces accessible for inspection

Handling methods should always match the actual dimensions and finished product weight.
