Picture
The above photo depicts a mobile crane that just toppled over it self, this accident was caused by improperly used outrigger arms and/or outrigger pad supports and is completely avoidable. Due to the increased amount of safety and awareness that crane operators need to exhibit, I have compiled a list of links related to crane outrigger pad placement and lifting safety.

If you read one of these link this one is a must: The ABS's of Foundation Loadings Under Cranes. This thorough article will give you the knowledge to correctly select the correct outrigger pad and analyze your ground surface safely.
