Abstract: The disclosed pads are engaged with dumpster supports to spread the weight of the dumpster over a large surface area and provide a relatively soft ground contact interface to prevent damage to paved surfaces on which the dumpster may be placed. The pads define a cavity complementary to the dumpster support and may be affixed to the support by straps or fasteners. The pads can be constructed of flexible material and distorted to open the cavity to receive the support, then relaxed to grip the support. The pads have a ground contact surface greater than a contact surface of the dumpster support and may include grooves in the ground contact surface.

Abstract: A trailer landing gear support pad comprises a pair of plates and a block of support material configured to mount to the foot of a trailer landing gear. The landing gear foot has first and second toes received in respective first second slots defined by first and second plates. The first and second plates are secured to the block of support material, which extends from a bottom surface of the landing gear foot to the ground. One plate may include a pivoting arm spanning a slot, so the support pad may be secured to the landing gear foot by inserting one toe through a fixed slot, pivoting the support block to align the other slot, and closing the movable arm. The block of support material protects a concrete or asphalt ground surface from the weight of the trailer when the trailer is supported on jacks after removal of a tractor.
