As an indispensable part in large machinery operations, crane leg pads play a vital role. It is usually placed under the legs of large machinery such as cranes, pump trucks, lifting machinery vehicles, and gives strong support to the legs by expanding the contact area between the legs and the ground, so as to ensure the support safety of the operating vehicles. The leg pad is generally composed of a plate-like body and a hand-held rope. The plate-like plate body is made of UHMW/HDPE polymer synthetic material, and the hand rope is made of nylon material, and its end is embedded in the plate body, which is convenient for carrying and arranging.
- Polymer Polyethylene Crane Support Mat
Polymer polyethylene gasket has many advantages. First of all, it has ultra-high wear resistance, which can withstand mechanical friction and is not easy to wear in the course of long-term use. Secondly, strong load-bearing capacity, good corrosion resistance, in a certain temperature, concentration range, with acid, alkali, salt and other corrosive media. In addition, it also has insulation anti-aging, strong impact resistance and other characteristics. It is easy to carry, only one seventh of the weight of the steel plate, and easy to operate by one person. At the same time, the service life is long, the service life is longer than the crane, and there is no need to replace it many times during the service life of the crane.
- The Role of The Crane Leg Pad
When the crane carries out lifting operations, its weight is transferred to the ground through the legs. If there is no leg pad, the contact area between the leg and the ground is small, and the pressure on the ground will be large, which will easily lead to the ground sinking or damage. After the use of leg pads, the contact area increases and the pressure on the ground decreases, which can effectively avoid problems such as ground subsidence and provide more stable support for the crane. At the same time, the leg pads prevent the tires from sliding. In some uneven ground or places with slope, tires are easy to slide, thus affecting the stability of the crane. The leg pads increase friction with the ground, prevent the tires from sliding, and ensure that the crane remains stable during operation.
This reliable support and stability is essential to improve the efficiency of the machine. When the crane is operated stably, the operator can operate more confidently, reducing the downtime and adjustment time caused by instability, and improving work efficiency.
