Component Specifications

Definition
A structural interface component designed to connect outrigger pads or floats to mobile machinery such as cranes, aerial lifts, or construction equipment. It ensures proper alignment, load transfer, and secure fastening between the pad and the outrigger leg, optimizing stability during operations on uneven or soft terrain.
Working Principle
The attachment point functions as a mechanical interface that transfers vertical and lateral loads from the outrigger leg to the pad/float. It typically employs pin-and-clevis, bolted flange, or quick-connect mechanisms to allow for secure engagement while permitting easy installation/removal. Proper design ensures uniform pressure distribution to prevent ground penetration or tipping.
Materials
High-strength steel (e.g., ASTM A36 or A572 Grade 50), often with corrosion-resistant coatings (zinc plating or powder coating). May include hardened steel pins (SAE 4140) and wear-resistant bushings (bronze or polymer composites).
Technical Parameters
  • Weight 5 to 50 lbs
  • Load Capacity 10,000 to 50,000 lbs
  • Connection Type Pin-and-Clevis, Flange Bolt, Quick-Release
  • Corrosion Resistance ASTM B117 Salt Spray Test > 500 hours
  • Mounting Hole Diameter 1 to 3 inches
Standards
ISO 4309, DIN 15020, ASME B30.5
