Latest pad from DICA combines steel and composite materials

DICA has announced its new EcoMax crane pad, which features a combination of steel and composite materials, offering DICA’s standard level of performance and durability at a lower cost.

The EcoMax combines the benefits of both of its materials to maximize load distribution, leveraging the stiffness and strength of steel with the durability and longevity of composite materials.

The debut EcoMax model is sized at 24 square feet, with a maximum capacity of 160,000 lbs. The pad is also rated for a “bridge rating” capacity, where the ends of the pad are supported by the ground with a gap beneath the center.

The pad is designed to allow its single, rigid body to move uniformly. The design also features a center plate built into the pad, which creates a designated operating area to assist operators with outrigger float placement and making it easier to optimize load distribution through the placement of the float.

Additional features include built-in lifting lugs, along with a non-slip coating finish on the pad’s steel components for improved friction.
