It’s a common misconception that outrigger spreader pads are only needed on visibly soft or waterlogged ground. The surface may appear firm, but what lies underneath can significantly affect stability.

Hidden voids, loose fill, uncompacted aggregate and changes in ground condition can all influence how outrigger loads are transferred.

Before setting up a spider lift or other MEWP using outriggers:
✅ Assess the ground conditions
✅ Check for underground services, voids or weak areas
✅ Use suitable spreader pads where required
✅ Follow the manufacturer’s guidance for setup and loading
✅ Reassess conditions if the ground or weather changes

A stable setup starts from the ground up.
Never assume that a dry-looking surface is automatically capable of supporting the load.

A minute spent checking can save hours of disruption.

When schedules are tight, routine pre-start checks can sometimes feel like something that slows the job down. In reality, they are an important part of keeping both people and projects moving safely.

A quick inspection before operating a MEWP can help identify visible damage, leaks, tyre issues, control problems or other concerns before they develop into a breakdown or a more serious safety issue.

At AFI Rentals, we encourage operators to make pre-use checks part of every shift.

60 seconds of prevention could help avoid a day of downtime.
