Utility Truck Outrigger Pads

A: It is used to pad under the truck outrigger to expand the contact area, disperse the pressure, and prevent the equipment from tilting or collapsing due to uneven or soft ground.

A: Wood: Easy to process but susceptible to moisture and corrosion, suitable for short-term or dry environments.
Steel: Strong load-bearing and corrosion-resistant, but heavy and costly.
Ultra-high polyethylene: Light, wear-resistant, and pressure-resistant, suitable for frequent movement or complex environments.
Selection basis: Truck tonnage, working environment (such as mud requires a larger size), budget.

A: Conventional sizes are 500×500×50mm, 600×600×60mm, etc., and special needs can be customized. The load-bearing needs to be selected according to the characteristics of the material, and the ultra-high polyethylene pad can bear a large weight.

A: Make sure the ground is flat and the inclination angle is not too large; avoid using it on a slope or soft soil, and stack multiple pads if necessary.

A: The center of the pad should be aligned with the outrigger, and multiple pads should be evenly distributed; when loading and unloading the truck, the pad should fully support the outrigger to prevent sliding.

A: Yes. Choose anti-slip materials or add anti-slip patterns on the surface of the pad to ensure stable support.

A: Ultra-high polyethylene pads are corrosion-resistant and waterproof, suitable for harsh environments; wooden pads are prone to water absorption and deformation, and long-term moisture should be avoided.

A: Avoid deformation caused by continuous heavy pressure; turn the pad regularly to make the force uniform and extend the life.

A: You can use a high-pressure water gun to rinse, avoid using corrosive detergents; wooden pads need to be dried before storage.

A: When there are surface cracks, deformation, obvious thinning (thickness reduction of more than 30%), abnormal noise or burrs, it should be replaced immediately.

A: Avoid sun and rain, store in a dry and ventilated place; ultra-high polyethylene pads can be stacked, and wooden pads need to be protected from insects.

A: Provide stable support to prevent the truck from tilting due to load changes and speed up loading and unloading efficiency.

A: Use multiple layers of pads to stack, or choose larger pads, and use steel plates to strengthen support when necessary.

A: Outrigger pads are designed specifically for trucks, with better wear resistance, pressure resistance and stability, suitable for professional scenarios.

A: Load-bearing capacity, material weather resistance, size adaptability, and whether it can be recycled.

A: For short-term use, wood can be selected (low cost but frequent replacement); for long-term or professional scenarios, ultra-high polyethylene is recommended (long life and less maintenance).

A: Truck model, working environment (such as chemical plants need corrosion resistance), special size requirements.

A: The sliding of the pad causes the truck to tilt and the ground to sink, causing accidents.

A: Different countries/regions have different standards, and generally require the pad to have a compressive strength ≥ 1.5 times the weight of the truck.

A: Ultra-high polyethylene pads can be recycled and reused to reduce wood consumption; wooden pads are prone to pollution after being discarded.
