Product information "Turtle Plastics - Slab Pad™"
The Slab Pad™ is a heavy-duty stabilization plate engineered from high-capacity recycled plastic. Designed to interface seamlessly with Slab® crib blocks (Part # S612‑24), this pad ensures efficient load distribution across crib stacks, reduces the risk of point-load failures, and enhances safety during heavy lifting or emergency rescue operations.
Performance Requirements
1. Dimensions & Weight
Size: 2″ × 12″ × 24″
Product Unit Weight: approximately 6.8 kg (15 lbs)
2. Load Distribution & Design
Constructed with interlocking channels to mate with the top or bottom of Slab® crib blocks, ensuring stack integrity.
Promotes uniform load dispersion, mitigating risks associated with sharp point sources.
Equipped with a reflective lanyard for ergonomic handling.
Rated at 3,000 PSI performance under standard ambient conditions.
Not intended for use as a crane pad—optimized specifically for crib-stack stabilization.
Functional Objectives
Serve as a stable load-transferring interface between lifting loads and the crib stack, especially when sharp or concentrated forces are present.
Enhance crib stack performance and longevity by preserving structural integrity under heavy loads.
Enable rapid deployment and retrieval, thanks to the integrated handle-lanyard design.
Comply with industrial hygiene and sustainability goals, being fully compatible with zero-wood usage policies and offering easy cleaning.
