Saudi Aramco GI 7.028 Compliance — What It Means for Outrigger Pads

Saudi Aramco’s General Instruction GI 7.028 sets the safety requirements for lifting equipment on Aramco-
operated and Aramco-contracted job sites, including requirements around ground bearing protection for
mobile crane outriggers. It does not certify individual products — it obliges contractors to select outrigger pads
with adequate load rating, material traceability, Outrigger Mats Supplier In Saudi Arabia and documentation, verified by the site’s lifting authority
before each job.

What GI 7.028 requires from ground protection equipment

• Documented load rating appropriate to the crane’s maximum outrigger reaction force
• Material traceability — a Material Test Certificate (MTC) tied to the specific batch supplied
• Physical condition free of cracking, delamination, or excessive wear
• Sizing appropriate to the ground bearing capacity at the work location

How to verify a supplier meets these expectations

Ask any prospective outrigger pad supplier for the MTC for the specific batch, the pad’s rated load capacity,
and confirmation of material and thickness. Diode Trading EST provides all three as standard with every order.

FAQ

At minimum: a Material Test Certificate (MTC), the pad's rated load capacity, and material/thickness
