Outrigger Pad Guide Updated

(November 14, 2024) - Since the introduction of the new member resource, A Guide to Outrigger Pad Materials, Selection and Usage, at the Crane & Rigging Workshop this fall, the Taskforce has updated the document. The Guide provides information and best practices to the construction industry on the types and selection of supporting materials, such as pads, dunnage, etc., to minimize the outrigger bearing loads imposed on supporting surfaces during load handling activities. The resource promotes awareness of existing standards and regulations, lift planning preparation, supporting materials and types, and jobsite requirements. Controlling entities, lift directors, site supervisors, or others who have responsibilities by standards or regulations for lift planning will find this Guide helpful.
