Stack Pads
Forankra offers a comprehensive range of one-piece skids designed for equipment handling and stabilization. These products are ideal for construction and work sites where operational safety and floor protection are key priorities.
Stabilizing Machinery in Challenging Conditions
One-piece skids are designed to ensure the stability of cranes, aerial work platforms, drilling rigs, and other equipment subjected to heavy loads. They provide secure footing on a variety of surfaces, even when the ground is uneven or has limited bearing capacity.
Distributing the load across the ground helps minimize the risk of sinking and maintains the equipment’s stability during operation.
Adaptability to varied and unstable ground conditions
Stabilization solutions can be used on a wide range of surfaces, including soil, asphalt, concrete, paving stones, and unpaved areas. Their design ensures reliable support, even in difficult or uneven terrain.
This adaptability makes them particularly well-suited for mobile operations and evolving job sites.
Floor Protection and Damage Prevention
In addition to stabilizing machinery, one-piece skids help preserve floor surfaces. The pressure exerted by loads is distributed evenly, reducing the risk of scuffing, crushing, or sinking of the floor.
This protective function is part of a strategy to maintain existing infrastructure, even with repeated use of heavy equipment.
Ergonomics and Ease of Handling
One-piece skids stand out for their compact design and built-in handles, which make them easy to set up and move. Their size allows for quick deployment on the job site, while ensuring precise positioning under the machine’s support points.
FAQ – One-piece pads
When should one-piece pads be used?
One-piece pads are used to:
- Stabilize equipment
- Protect delicate floors
- Distribute heavy loads
Why choose a one-piece HDPE pad?
A one-piece pad offers:
- Greater strength
- Superior durability
- A seamless structure, making it more reliable
How do you distribute a heavy load on a delicate floor?
Using one-piece pads helps distribute pressure and minimize the risk of the floor sinking or becoming damaged.
Questions & Answers
How do I calculate the capacity of a stack pads?
There are two ways of calculating the capacity of the monobloc skid depending on the number of outriggers on the crane: - For two outriggers: 2/3 of the unladen weight + maximum load capacity = capacity in kg/skid | - For four outriggers: (2/3 of the unladen weight + maximum load capacity)/2 = capacity in kg of the skid. Example for a 50T crane with a load capacity of 10T on 4 outriggers: (50T x 2)/3 = 33330kg + 10T = 43330 /2 = 22T per skid.
Are there different sizes of stack pads?
Yes, there are square, round and notched one-piece skids.
Are there storage boxes for stack padss?
Yes, we have storage boxes for one or two skates. Please note that these storage boxes correspond to one skate size. See our technical data sheet for more information.
Is it possible to have a central print?
Yes, on request, in which case the diameter and thickness of the print must be supplied.
Is it possible to have special dimensions?
Yes, on request
What material are stack pads made from?
They are made of HDPE (high-density polyethylene)
