EcoMax Crane Pads from DICA combines the strength of steel with the long-lasting durability of engineered composite materials to deliver exceptional load distribution, reliability and safety for crane operations. Designed to serve as a cost-effective and performance-driven alternative to timber mats and solid steel pads, EcoMax leverages an innovative hybrid design that addresses the needs of crane operators working in diverse environments.
EcoMax's hybrid construction creates a true engineered alternative to traditional wood and steel pads. Unlike timber mats held together with through-bolts, EcoMax features a rigid body where composite timbers and I-beams work as a unified structure to improve load distribution and prevent internal shifting. EcoMax provides a longer service life and better long-term ROI compared to traditional options.
The 24 sq. ft. crane pad is rated for a maximum capacity of 160,000 lbs. (80 tons), and is designed for cranes up to 150-tons. The pads are constructed with a combination of structural steel I-beams and engineered composite timbers. The pads also include a built-in center plate to guide outrigger float placement and integrated lifting lugs for secure handling and stacking. A non-slip SafetyTexture coating on the steel components improves grip and surface safety. EcoMax supports two rating conditions: a standard capacity for fully supported applications and a Bridge Rating for scenarios where support is limited beneath the center of the pad.
