Who We Work For
Durable Outrigger Pads for Safe Lifting and Load Spreading
At Birketts, we supply high-strength outrigger pads and mats designed to distribute the weight of cranes, MEWPs, and other plant machinery safely over soft or uneven ground. Built from solid hardwood timber, our pads are engineered to offer reliable ground stability on construction sites, infrastructure projects, and heavy lifting environments.
Used across the UK by leading contractors, our outrigger mats provide the extra support needed to prevent sinking, tilting, or surface damage, especially when operating on soft or sensitive ground. Whether you’re handling heavy cranes or small lifting units, our pads are available in a wide range of sizes to suit your equipment and site conditions. All products are held in stock for next day nationwide delivery.
What Are Outrigger Pads Used For?
Outrigger pads (also referred to as outrigger mats or crane mats) are essential for any application where plant stability is critical. They are placed under the feet of lifting equipment to spread the load across a wider surface area and provide a stable base.
They are commonly used for:
- Supporting cranes, MEWPs, and cherry pickers
- Stabilising lifting platforms and aerial access equipment
- Providing safe support on soft or uneven ground
- Preventing damage to pavements, grass, or sensitive surfaces
Â
All our pads are made from high-grade hardwood and built to last. They are suitable for repeated use, offering long-term value for civil engineering, construction, and utilities sectors.
