Concrete Pump Outrigger Pads Saudi Arabia Selection Guide

Concrete Pump Outrigger Pads Saudi Arabia — Selection Guide

Concrete pump outrigger pads Saudi Arabia sizing starts with a key difference from mobile cranes: instead of a swinging, variable load, a pump truck applies a sustained, concentrated point load for the full duration of the pour, which is why pump-specific outrigger pad sizing matters.

Why pump trucks need different pad sizing

A mobile crane’s outrigger load shifts as the boom slews and the hook moves, so the peak load at any one point is often brief. A concrete pump holds a fixed position for the length of the pour, sometimes an hour or more, which means the ground under each outrigger pad carries close to its full working load continuously rather than in short bursts. That sustained loading is harder on soft or marginal ground than an equivalent peak load from a crane.

Sizing by boom class

Boom Class Typical Outrigger Load Recommended Footprint
28–32m boom 4–6 t/outrigger 600×600mm min
36–42m boom 6–9 t/outrigger 800×800mm min
47–62m boom 9–14 t/outrigger 1000×1000mm+

Site conditions that call for oversized pads

Backfilled trenches, recently poured slabs still curing, and sites with a shallow water table all reduce ground bearing capacity below what a standard-size pad assumes. On these sites, size up from the table above rather than relying on the minimum footprint for the boom class. OSHA’s ground conditions requirement for cranes and derricks (29 CFR 1926.1402) makes the same point for lifting equipment: the supporting material has to match the ground, not just the machine’s rated capacity.
