Logo Engraved Outrigger pads (UHMWPE)
Polyethylene is the most commonly used plastic in the world, but how do you know if it's the right yarn for your application? Consider the attributes of ultra-high-molecular-weight polyethylene (UHMWPE) - a very tough subset of polyethylene that has a strength to weight ratio 8-15 times greater than steel.
Outrigger pads are made in UHMWPE or HDPE material, an engineering material that offers a superior combination of impact strength, wear and chemical resistance. Each pad is equipped with a durable rope handle to allow for easy storage and mobility. UHMWPE/ HDPE Outrigger Pads are an alternative to wood pads due to their superior characteristics and performance which allows them to last longer.
As you can see UHMWPE has a diverse range of uses from manufacturing to medical as well as in wire and cable applications. This is due to its long list of benefits which meet specific requirements for many different jobs.
The advantages of UHMWPE include, but are not limited to:
- Excellent resistance to stress and high resistant to cracking
- Abrasion wear resistance - 15 times more resistant to abrasion than carbon steel
- Its 40% Stronger than Aramid yarns
- Its strong chemical resistance - highly resilient to most alkalis and acid, organic solvents, degreasing agents and electrolytic attack
- It's non-toxic
- Excellent dielectric properties
- Self-lubricating - very low coefficient of friction (comparable to PTFE)
- Non-staining
- FDA approved for use in food and medical applications
- Low specific gravity - will float in water
UHMWPE Outrigger Pads are an alternative to wood pads due to their superior characteristics and performance which allows them to last longer.
light weight, 1/7 th the weight of steel; withstands loads up to above 20 Mpa; retains its physical properties to -80ºC; will not corrode, rot or rust; high impact & wear resistance; can withstand over 450T of compressive load.
Outrigger pads can be used not only as crane leg pads, but also the trailer plates, sleeper of heavy machinery track mats of heavy trucks.
Why use UHMWPE instead of other materials
UHMWPE or Ultra High Molecular Weight Polyethylene offers wear resistant and sliding properties that make it an ideal choice for many industries such as materials handling, food, mining, transport and marine among others.
Known for excellent toughness and good sliding properties, UHMWPE is a lightweight material offering resistance to diluted acids, cleaning agents and numerous solvents. The material also provides benefits such as very good abrasion resistance, superior electrical insulation, and very low water absorption.
The material is ideal for creating chemical apparatus, chopping boards, conveyor parts, cryogenic parts, food processing equipment, liners, and wear strips.
