DICA LevelRight Adjustable Pads

Gold Award

LevelRight is an innovative solution designed for operators of boom trucks, cranes, concrete pumps, jacking applications and other equipment that requires a level setup with outriggers. Unlike standard wedges, LevelRight pads rotate to adapt to unlevel surfaces in multiple planes, ensuring optimal stability.

Constructed from SafetyTech material and featuring DICA’ s SafetyTexturing on both the top and bottom surfaces, LevelRight provides enhanced grip and safety. The adjustable pad can be used independently or placed between the outrigger pad and outrigger float to

guarantee a flat and level surface beneath the equipment’ s outriggers.

Equipped with a built-in bubble level, LevelRight gives operators instant confirmation of a level setup. It allows for angle adjustments from 0 to 10 degrees and can be adjusted in two planes. With a generous 24-inch diameter, it accommodates up to a 20-inch square or 24-inch round outrigger float and boasts a rated capacity of 350,000 pounds.

LevelRight addresses the common challenge of setting up on uneven terrain, eliminating the difficulties associated with standard wedges. By using this purposefully designed product, operators can ensure a safe and level setup every time, enhancing both efficiency and safety on the jobsite.
