The new polymer material high-density polyethylene leg pads have gradually replaced wood and steel leg pads. So what are the differences between these three types of leg pads and the differences between PE leg pads and other leg pads
1. In terms of corrosion resistance, wooden boards are more resistant to corrosion than wooden pads. Wooden boards are a material that is prone to corrosion, insect infestation, and low in lifespan;
2. On the net weight level, it is lighter than metal material steel plates, only one-seventh of the weight of the steel plates, making it easy to use and transport;
3. At the load-bearing level, it has stronger load-bearing capacity than wooden pads and can be compared to the weight bearing capacity of thick steel plates;
4. The moisture absorption layer has zero water absorption and is not prone to frost drop due to moisture absorption, which poses a risk to the safety and service life of wooden boards under wet and cold conditions;
5. At the noise level, the application of thick steel plates made of metal materials will generate noise throughout the entire process;
6. In terms of environmental protection, this is also an environmental protection material, and the wooden pad will cause environmental pollution after corrosion.
In summary, the characteristics of high-pressure polyethylene material leg pads are better than that of woodworking boards, and the demand for this type of material on cranes is increasing.
