New cribbing and jacking blocks boost workshop safety

Outriggerpads has released a new range of cribbing and jacking blocks to help improve workshop safety.

The EcoCrib range of heavy-duty interlocking cribbing blocks is designed to support and stabilise heavy objects during a lifting or lowering operation. The blocks are said to be ideal for vehicle workshops, as well as manufacturing and engineering applications.

EcoCrib is made from high density polyethylene (HDPE), so is resistant to water damage, corrosion and splintering.

Telford-based Outriggerpads has more than three decades of experience in providing load-bearing pads, spreader plates, and crane mats to the construction equipment, caravan and events sectors.

Charles Grizzle, business development manager for Outriggerpads, says: “Our products are typically used to stabilise construction equipment during its operation. However, it became very clear to us that our customers also needed something equally as safe and durable for their workshops.

“Wooden cribs can snap and splinter without warning, causing catastrophic failure during service, maintenance and repair activities. EcoCrib is a much safer alternative to wood, offering long-lasting performance, with minimal maintenance required.”
