Abstract: An ergonomic stabilizer pad and ergonomic assembly that stabilizes equipment—e.g., cranes or vehicles with outriggers—during use as well as protects the ground surface on which the equipment is placed. The stabilizer pad includes an ergonomic handle and arrangement. An ergonomic stabilizer pad assembly comprises modular components that divide the weight of the assembly between individual components. Each component can be separately transported and a stabilizer pad assembly quickly and easily constructed and deconstructed. Furthermore, the ergonomic stabilizer pad assembly compensates for deflection of the pad that occurs during use and may be used with existing stabilizer pads. The invention eases lifting tasks associated with transporting and positioning stabilizer pads and may reduce the incidence of user injuries. According to the invention, any size pad, even large sizes with a large weight, can be easily handled.

Abstract: A system and methods for stabilizer mat testing comprising a compressible material element and platen elements. Two stabilizer mats are positioned on opposing surfaces of the compressible material element and located between the platen elements. A force is supplied to the test system, i.e., a fluid supplied by a fluid supply component to the compressible material element, a load supplied by a load supply component to the compressible material element, or both. Displacement measurements from the stabilizer mat are obtained and evaluated. Stabilizer mat testing may be a standardized method used to validate design and manufacture, to test a simulated use that may occur in the field, to monitor life cycle, or to certify performance.

Abstract: A crane mat stand device comprises a base component with integrated moveable support components. The crane mat stand device organizes and stores a plurality of crane mats, minimizes damage to the load or forklift machine, and maximizes safety during transport.
