why the outrigger pads are important for cranes?

A crane is a heavy machinery equipment used for lifting and moving heavy objects. When using a crane, outrigger pads are necessary to ensure safety and stability by distributing the weight of the crane and increasing the support area.

When using outrigger pads for crane support, the following points should also be noted:

  1. The surface of the outrigger pads should be flat, without noticeable unevenness or cracks, to ensure a tight fit between the pad and the ground.

  2. The pads should be placed on a hard, flat, and obstruction-free surface to prevent sliding or movement.

  3. During crane lifting operations, the outrigger pads should be properly adjusted to ensure the crane remains in a balanced state.

  4. The outrigger pads should be regularly inspected and replaced to ensure they are in good condition.
