Custom Size Outrigger Pads Saudi Arabia

A custom outrigger pad is worth fabricating when your crane’s outrigger footprint doesn’t match any standard size, or your site’s ground bearing capacity is low enough that even the largest standard pad doesn’t provide adequate load distribution. Custom pads are common on projects using less common crane models, non-standard outrigger configurations, or sites with particularly soft or uneven ground.

When to choose a custom pad over a standard size

Most cranes working across Saudi Arabia use one of a handful of common outrigger float sizes, which is why standard UHMWPE pads cover the majority of jobs. A custom pad becomes worthwhile when the outrigger float is an unusual shape or size, when ground bearing calculations show that even the largest standard pad would still exceed safe bearing pressure, or when a project needs extra thickness for rigidity on marginal ground.

What we need to quote a custom pad

  • Outrigger footprint dimensions from the crane manufacturer’s data
  • Maximum outrigger reaction force from the load chart
  • Ground bearing capacity at the site, if known
  • Required quantity and delivery timeframe

Material and turnaround

Custom pads are manufactured from the same UHMWPE material as our standard sizes, so there’s no compromise on wear resistance or load performance — only the footprint and thickness change to match your requirement. Lead times depend on size and quantity: smaller custom runs can often be turned around in days, while larger bulk orders need more time for material and CNC cutting.
