Outrigger Pads

What you will find here

This section lists 17 outrigger pads. Prices currently range from $19.99 to $5,021.99 in US dollars, and every product page shows the complete table of sizes and options so you can compare without clicking through each listing.

Common uses

Buyers use outrigger pads for crane, hoist and rigging work, construction, industrial and shop rigging and pulling, positioning and load handling. Never exceed the rated working load limit for your hitch type and sling angle, and inspect gear before every lift.

How to choose outrigger pads

Compare the options and specifications in the table above and pick the size or configuration that matches your equipment and load.

Three steps to the right choice

1. Match capacity to the lift. Choose gear whose WLL exceeds the load in the hitch you will use.
2. Mind the angle. Sling angles under 60° raise leg tension sharply; use the capacity chart for your angle.
3. Inspect every time. Retire gear with cuts, heat damage, stretched links, distorted hooks or missing tags.

Materials compared

• UHMWPE (15 products) — High-density polyethylene is tough, light and does not rot or absorb water.
• Virgin UHMWPE (1 product) — High-density polyethylene is tough, light and does not rot or absorb water.

Specifications to compare

• Crush rating — how much load the item can bear before deforming.
• Thickness — thicker material resists abrasion and cutting better but adds weight.
• Basket / angled capacity — the rated load when the sling cradles the load or legs run at an angle. Lower angles increase the tension in each leg, so always use the rating for your actual angle.
• Vertical capacity — the rated load for a single sling leg hanging straight up and down.

Before you buy

• Know the load weight and the hitch you will use.
• Check the rated capacity for that hitch and the sling angle.
• Confirm fittings and pin sizes are compatible with your rigging.

Reading the option tables

Every product page in this section has a full table of options. Each row is one size, length, fitting or pack quantity you can order, with its own US dollar price and stock status. Use the table to compare prices across sizes before you click through — the cheapest listing price is often for the smallest size or single pack, so check the row that matches what you actually need.
