Maximum Safety and Support

What are outrigger pads?

Outrigger pads are designed to provide stability and safety for heavy equipment operations. They help distribute the weight of the equipment evenly across the ground. This prevents sinking or tipping, especially on soft or uneven surfaces. Our wooden outrigger pads are specifically crafted to meet the demands of various industries, ensuring reliability and performance.

What materials are outrigger pads made from?

Lifton’s outrigger pads are made from strong, durable baltic birch plywood. Our wooden pads are popular for their strength and durability. They come in various sizes and thicknesses, depending on the load-bearing requirements and the type of surface on which they are placed. In addition to providing stability, Lifton’s outrigger pads also help protect the underlying surface from damage, such as cracking or denting. 

How do I choose the right outrigger pads?

Choosing the right outrigger pads depends on the type of equipment and the ground conditions. Consider the weight of your equipment, the surface it will be used on, and the load distribution required. Our team can assist you in selecting the best pads for your specific needs, ensuring optimal safety and performance.

How do I maintain my outrigger pads?

Maintaining your outrigger pads is crucial for ensuring their longevity and effectiveness. Regularly inspect them for signs of wear or damage, and clean them after use to remove dirt and debris. Store them in a dry place to prevent moisture damage, and avoid exposing them to extreme temperatures. Reapply water sealer as needed. Proper care will extend the life of your pads and maintain their performance.

Exceptional Quality and Service

The All Family of Companies Policy has always been that we only use wooden mats for applicable crane types.  For many years, our preferred vendor has been, and remains, Lifton’s.  We, as an organization have been very happy with the products as they are well made, offer excellent support for our cranes (minimal to no deflection) and have held up well over the years and in some very harsh conditions. Please know that we prefer to stay with the Lifton’s product line.

Customer Satisfaction Guranteed

We have purchased over 200 wooden mats, 30″ up to 60″ from Lifton’s Inc. We use them on our 30 thru 70 ton Terex Trucks and R/T cranes, and on our 90 thru 365 ton Liebherr A/T cranes. Our men like the convenience of the 12-sided pads; they are easily rolled around. They have held up well and we use them everyday. Bob Lifton has been great to deal with. I recommend his pads.
