New Ground Protection Mat from Outriggerpads

by

Outriggerpads is launching a new heavy duty ground protection mat aimed at the plant hire, events and construction industries.

Ground mats protect concrete, turf and paved areas from the damage caused by mobile cranes, access platforms, construction equipment and other heavy vehicles. They also help prevent machines from losing traction or getting bogged down. Applications include construction, landscaping, utilities, estates management and outdoor events.

Business Development Co-ordinator for Outriggerpads, said: “We developed the ground mat in response to demand from our customer base, as a complementary product to our spreader plates.

“We’ve worked hard to deliver a product that is extremely durable, has great load bearing capabilities and provides a superior grip. It is also lightweight, portable, and easy to link together, making it ideal for creating temporary roads or even a parking area.”

Manufactured from high density polyethylene (HDPE), they are highly durable as they are resistant to water, oil and chemicals; and there is no chance of corrosion or splintering. A standard steel connector easily joins the mats together to form a temporary roadway, while a four-way link bar is also available for creating a large surface area such as for parking.

New Ground Mats From Outriggerpads

Outriggerpads offers two sizes of ground mat. The 1.8m x 0.9m product is designed to accommodate most access platforms, mini-excavators and similar-sized plant equipment. Featuring integrated handles and weighing just 24kg, it is light enough for one person to safely lift and position.

The heavy-duty 2.88m x 1.44m pad is suitable for big booms and scissors, as well as cranes and excavators. . It can withstand extreme vertical pressures, with load-bearing capabilities of 12 to 65 tonnes, depending on terrain. This pad weighs 65kg and, features six handles, making it easy for two people to carry it and put it in place.

The mats have a non-slip 8mm extruded finish on both sides, meaning they grip the ground as well as providing a superior grip for machine tyres or tracks.

Outriggerpads Expands Team

by

Bernadette Rock has joined the Outriggerpads team as Field Sales Executive, working to develop new business and support existing accounts. One of her first tasks was meeting with clients and potential customers at Vertikal Days, the UK’s largest trade show dedicated to cranes and access platforms.

“Vertikal Days was a great opportunity for me as a new starter with the company,” she said. “We took orders on the stand and are following up a large number of enquiries. It was also the best possible start in terms of meeting as many customers and potential customers as possible.”

Bernadette previously worked in industrial recruitment, in a B2B role. At Outriggerpads, she will report to Charles Grizzle, Business Development Manager. She is based out of headquarters in Telford, Shropshire, but will cover the whole of the UK and support international customers.

Charles said: “The expansion of the team reflects the growth of both our international customer base and our product range.

“Bernadette’s experience in industrial recruitment has given her a good working knowledge of our sector. More importantly, she is extremely proactive, focused and customer-oriented. She is already making a positive impact and is a great addition to our team.”

Outriggerpads is the UK’s leading supplier of high performance polyethylene spreader plates, outrigger pads and mats, with vertical load bearing capacities from 5 to 350 tonnes. These products are widely used by operators of cranes, powered access platforms and other mobile plant such as concrete pumps, as well as exhibition trailers. They spread the ground pressure of a machine’s stabilisers or outriggers on any terrain where load bearing capacity is an issue.

Its heavy duty UHMW polyethylene spreader plates and ground mats hold their shape under extreme vertical pressure and can adapt to the contours of the terrain. They are also a lighter weight than many equivalent pads made of metal or wood and are much less susceptible to water damage, corrosion and splintering.

SMART STORE offers productivity benefits to spreader plate users

by

Outriggerpads is launching a new product for storing, transporting and handling spreader plates.

Designed for use with Outriggerpads’ popular Multi Mat modular system, SMART STORE helps crane and plant operators to work safer and smarter on site. It keeps all the Multi Mats in one place, and helps protect operators from unnecessary lifting.

The integral fork-lift channels keep manual handling to a minimum and ensure that transport around the site is quick and easy. The galvanised welded steel fabrication ensures it can withstand the pressures of construction or demolition sites. The pads easily slide in and out of the SMART STORE, helping to prevent operator injuries and strains.

Spreader plates are used to spread the pressure of a machine’s stabilisers or outriggers on any terrain where load bearing capacity is an issue. The Multi Mat system is a flexible spreader plate solution for heavy plant and crane lifting. Operators are able to stack the mats in various configurations depending on available space and load capacity requirements. Each SMART STORE can hold up to 26 Multi Mats.

Charles Grizzle, Business Development Co-ordinator at Outriggerpads, said: “We developed SMART STORE in response to customer demand. Mobile crane operators wanted a storage solution that was easily transportable, durable, and helped cut out manual handling.

“In SMART STORE they have a cost-effective product that will deliver an excellent return on investment by increasing safety and productivity on site.”

Outriggerpads is the UK’s leading supplier of high performance polyethylene spreader plates, outrigger pads and mats, with vertical load bearing capacities from 5 to 350 tonnes. SMART STORE is available in two sizes, with next day delivery on orders received before 4pm.

New Interlocking Multi Mat System for Large Scale Lifting

by

Outriggerpads is launching a new spreader plate for cranes that offers even more stability and a faster set up time.

The modular Multi Mat System provides a flexible solution for heavy plant and crane lifting. Operators are able to stack the mats in various configurations depending on available space and load capacity requirements.

Building on this success, Outriggerpads has further improved the technology to now offer fully interlocking Multi Mats. The interlocking system ensures that there are no gaps between the mats, improving set up speed while keeping the system sufficiently light weight to be set up by hand. With six configurations offering load capacities of 75 to 160 tonnes, the system is designed to support a wide range of mobile cranes.

Charles Grizzle, Business Development Co-ordinator at Outriggerpads, said: “The original Multi Mats have been a great success for us, as they offer mobile crane operators a lot of flexibility from pads that are easily assembled.

“With the interlocking design we take the benefits one stage further by reducing the time required to check for gaps in between pads and remove and debris. We have already had international interest and recently shipped our first order to a construction company in the Middle East.”

Interlocking Multi Mat System

Manufactured from heavy duty UHMW polyethylene, the water and corrosion resistant pads adapt to the contours of the terrain, yet spring back to their original shape after use. They are also a lighter weight than many equivalent pads made of metal or wood and are much less susceptible to splintering.

Outriggerpads is the UK’s leading supplier of high performance polyethylene spreader plates, outrigger pads and mats, with vertical load bearing capacities from 5 to 350 tonnes. These products are widely used by operators of cranes, powered access platforms and other mobile plant such as concrete pumps, as well as exhibition trailers. They spread the ground pressure of a machine’s stabilisers or outriggers on any terrain where load bearing capacity is an issue.

Outriggerpads are En Vogue for Fashion Brand’s Marketing Campaign

by

Spreader plates that are typically found on construction sites are now finding their way into the glamorous worlds of fashion and football.

Spreader plates are normally used to support the stabilisers on construction and plant equipment such as mobile cranes and powered access platforms. However, event marketing specialist The Events Structure has found another use for them, recently deploying pads from Outriggerpads at Westfield London shopping centre.

The Manchester-based company placed the pads under a stylish upcycled shipping container that formed a part of L’Oreal’s launch campaign for its Studio Pro hairstyling products. The pads spread the container’s weight evenly and ensured there was no damage to the pavement.

Tom Daly, Project Manager for The Events Structure, said: “The pads worked really well for us at Westfield. They are lightweight, hard wearing, waterproof, easy to store and very easy to manoeuvre. They did a great job of protecting the paving outside the shopping centre and providing a safe base for the container.”

The Events Structure is the UK’s only single source provider of exhibition trailers, roadshow trucks, mobile promotion vehicles, shipping containers and inflatable structure displays. It has invested in EcoLift 400x400x40 spreader plates from Outriggerpads, which weigh just 6.3kg each but have a 12 tonne load capacity.

Manufactured from high density polyethylene (HDPE), the water and corrosive resistant pads hold their shape under extreme vertical pressure and can adapt to the contours of the terrain. They are also a lighter weight than many equivalent pads made of metal or wood.

Following its success with the L’Oreal campaign, The Events Structure is supplying four of its experiential shipping containers – with spreader plates – to MasterCard. The upcycled containers will be in Milan for an event to celebrate the Champions League final, for which MasterCard is one of the sponsors.

“Increasingly our clients request a solution that doesn’t impact flooring or paved areas,” added Tom. “These pads are incredibly easy to ship and we have every confidence that they will do a great job for us in Italy.”

Outriggerpads Extends Hi-Viz Range

by

Outriggerpads has expanded its Hi Viz range of high visibility spreader plates to meet demand from customers with heavier plant.

With a distinctive fluorescent yellow colour, Hi Viz pads are designed to alert contractors and passing pedestrians to the potential trip hazard of outrigger pads. Manufactured from high density polyethylene (HDPE), they offer tough and stable support for outrigger feet and jack legs.

HDPE provides protection against water, corrosion and splintering. An HDPE spreader plate retains its shape under extreme vertical pressure and can adapt to the contours of the terrain. The Hi Viz pads are also lighter weight than equivalent pads made of metal or wood.

The original Hi Viz range provided load capacities of up to 20t, making them ideal for powered access and other mobile plant. The new 750mm x 750mm x 40mm pads weigh less than 22kg each and have a 30t load capacity.

Outriggerpads has also added a circular 1,000mm x 60mm pad with a 60t load capacity. Weighing just 45kg each, and with integrated handles, they are easy for the operator to handle and position. The first customer was J. Exley Ltd, based in Batley, West Yorkshire, which is using the pads with its truck loader crane fleet, which is mainly comprised of Fassi cranes mounted on Volvo HGVs, along with the latest addition, a DAF.

Andy Watmough, Manager of J. Exley Ltd, said: “Safety is an absolute priority in our business. These pads enable us to set up safely and quickly on rough ground, while the fluorescent yellow colour ensures they are highly visible.”

J. Exley Ltd is a fourth generation, family-run business specialising in dismantling, movement and installation of heavy industrial machinery. Its fleet includes rigid self-loading trucks up to 20t and articulated self-loaders up to 150t. It also provides cranes in a range of sizes and lifting capacities.

Outrigger pads – also known as spreader plates – are widely used by operators of cranes, powered access and other mobile plant such as concrete pumps. They spread the pressure of a machine’s stabilisers or outriggers on any terrain where load bearing capacity is an issue. Without their use, outriggers can puncture the ground, causing a serious accident if the equipment topples over.
