OUTRIGGER REACTION SIMULATOR

What hits
the ground?

Pick a machine, set the load and radius, and see the estimated worst-case reaction on a single outrigger - then check the resulting ground pressure against your surface and size the right pads or cribbing before the crane shows up.

Typical allowable bearing values. Slabs on grade and elevated floors need engineering verification - see the floor-loading guide.
Planning estimate only.Actual reactions vary with slew angle, boom configuration, outrigger setting, and counterweight. Every CLE rental is verified against the manufacturer's point-loading data before dispatch.

Estimated pressure exceeds what this surface can take. Increase the grounding area with pads or cribbing, improve the surface, or call CLE to plan the setup.

WORST CASE · BOOM SLEWED OVER ONE OUTRIGGER

The heaviest reaction lands on the outrigger under the boom. Estimated split at this load and radius:

PAD UNDER BOOM5,490 lbs
ADJACENT PADS (EACH)485 lbs
OPPOSITE PAD306 lbs

Reactions rotate with the boom - every pad sees the max as you slew. Crib all four the same.
