Have any of you pumpers or owners put any of those Dica pads on your pumps.  I was on a job the other day and the crane had real thin ones doubled up under his outriggers. He informed me that they only weight about 20lbs a piece. He double them up for added support. anyway they looked liked the hot ticket for a big boom.

    Any info....

Yep great product and great company and a good sponsor of this site. please check them out.

on soft ground , wouldnt they bend and slipp out from under the outrigger?, whereas hardwood dunnage would not bend but push down evenly?

you would need alot of those pads to get some height too when required

The first picture is a text book application.

1. Stacked - 2 layers @90deg

2. No deflection - bending

= load correctly transfered to ground
