Product information "Turtle Plastics - Jack Pad"
The Jack Pad is a durable stabilization plate crafted from high-capacity recycled plastic. Engineered to sit beneath a cylinder jack, it protects crib stacks from damaging point loads generated during lifting operations. Ideal for extrication scenarios and vehicle stabilization, it offers enhanced safety and load distribution.
Performance Requirements
1. Dimensions & Weight
Size: 2″ × 10″ × 10″ (approx. 5.1 cm × 25.4 cm × 25.4 cm)
Unit Weight (empty): ~3.17 kg (7 lbs)
2. Load Distribution & Construction
Features smooth profiles on both sides to evenly spread the jack's load across the crib foundation.
Designed specifically to mitigate point-source load failures from sharp jack contacts.
3. Performance Rating
Rated at 3,000 PSI for localized load support.
Includes a reflective (cushioned) lanyard for ergonomic handling and safety.
Not intended for crane pad applications; optimized for jack support use only.
Functional Objectives
Provide reliable protection to crib stacks by distributing point loads from jacks.
Ensure safe load transfer, reducing risk of structural damage or collapse during jacking.
Enhance operational ergonomics, with smooth surfaces and an intuitive lanyard for quick access and deployment.
Maintain consistency and durability even under repetitive use, in high-pressure scenarios.
