Comparison of different material outrigger pads

Wooden outrigger pad:

Wood has the disadvantages of poor pressure resistance, easy breakage and easy corrosion. However, due to the low density of wood, the quality of the backing plate will be lighter, easier to carry and low in cost, but the wood can not be recycled, resulting in waste of resources and financial resources.

Steel outrigger pad:

Steel materials are resistant to pressure, corrosion, cracking, and recyclable. However, its cost is too high, its quality is heavy, and it is not easy to carry.

Polyethylene outrigger pad:

Made of HDPE ultra-high molecular polyethylene, it has the characteristics of strong pressure resistance, no corrosion, no breakage, light weight, easy to carry, medium cost and recyclable. It can be used normally in harsh environments, and it can be used without overloading. The carrying rope is made of nylon, and the end of the carrying rope is embedded in the body of the pad to facilitate carrying and arrangement.
