- **Caution**: 
- **Caution**: 

### Q: What materials are best for outrigger pads on soft ground?
**A**: Polyurethane or rubber composite pads are ideal for soft ground as they distribute weight evenly and prevent sinking, while providing excellent traction and surface protection.

### Q: How do outrigger pads improve machinery safety?
**A**: Outrigger pads increase the ground contact area, reducing ground pressure and preventing tipping or sinking. This enhances stability during lifting operations and protects underlying surfaces like asphalt or concrete.

### Q: Can outrigger pads be used on all types of machinery?
**A**: Yes, outrigger pads are versatile and can be used with cranes, excavators, aerial lifts, and other heavy equipment with outriggers. Ensure the pad's load capacity matches your machinery's requirements.
