Product information "Turtle Plastics - Half Slab Pad™"
The Half Slab Pad™ is a heavy-duty stabilization pad crafted from high-impact recycled plastic. Specifically designed to complement the Half Slab® cribbing block (Part # S612‑12), it enhances load distribution in narrow or confined working areas while reducing the risk of point-load failures during lifting operations.
Performance Requirements
1. Dimensions & Weight
Size: 6″ × 12″ × 12″
Weight (empty): ~3.63 kg (8 lbs)
2. Load Support & Construction
Engineered with interlocking channels to securely mate with the top or bottom of the Half Slab blocks.
Delivers 3,000 PSI load support, offering super-heavy duty pad performance.
Enhances stability, distributing load to protect against point-source failures from sharp or concentrated loads.
Includes a lanyard for safe handling and retrieval.
Not suitable as a medium or heavy‑duty crane pad.
Functional Objectives
Augment crib stack stability, especially when used with Half Slab blocks in heavy lifting or rescue scenarios.
Mitigate point-load stresses, guarding against material puncture or structural failure under concentrated weight.
Provide modular stacking protection by fitting seamlessly with Half Slab’s interlocking geometry.
Support operational flexibility by enabling secure stacking even in restricted or narrow workspaces.
Ensure safe and convenient handling via integrated lanyard features.
