Outrigger pads and crane mats manufactured by Lifton's Inc. of New Richmond, WI, will be on display for the exhibits of both Grove Worldwide and National Crane at the CONEXPO in Las Vegas, Nev.

Of particular interest to the heavy crane user will be the opportunity to see Lifton's 48-inch pads used under the new Grove GMK 7550 (450 ton metric all-terrain) and the new RT9000E (90 metric ton rough terrain) units. Both cranes are making their official public debut at the event.

Lifton outrigger pads and mats supply strength and economy to users of heavy cranes. The 4.25-inch thick pads work well additionally as the capping piece on top of other cribbing.

Lifton's can supply square pads from 20 inches up to 36 inches and 12-sided pads from 30 inches up to and including 60 inches. Custom sizes are also available upon request.

The outrigger pads are made using a birch multi-laminate plywood. The pads are made using waterproof glue and pressed in 30-50 ton presses. The pads are further secured with lag screws that penetrate over 90 percent of the thickness of the pad from both sides. The pads are also fortified with Thompson's Advanced Water Sealer and are easily shipped.
