Crane and heavy lift works rely on stable set-up areas, controlled access and the right support under load. Ground Nurse helps lift teams, contractors and site managers protect surfaces, support outriggers and create temporary access for cranes, pump trucks, EWPs and heavy equipment across changing site conditions.
Support The Setup
Support crane, pump truck, EWP and heavy equipment set-up areas with practical ground protection and load-support products.
Protect The Surface
Help reduce damage to asphalt, concrete, turf, pavers and finished surfaces during access, set-up and lift works.
Keep Lifts Moving
Create temporary access and set-down areas that help crews position equipment and keep lift activity moving.
When Ground Conditions Affect The Lift
Crane and heavy lift works often come down to what is happening at ground level. Soft ground, finished surfaces, uneven access, tight set-up areas and concentrated outrigger loads can all create risk before the lift begins. The right ground protection and load-support setup helps crews manage access, protect the site and create a more stable working area for the equipment involved.
Typical Applications
Outrigger Support: Support for cranes, pump trucks, EWPs and equipment with concentrated point loads
Crane Set-Up Areas: Temporary set-up areas for Frannas, mobile cranes, crane trucks and lifting equipment
Access To Lift Zones: Ground protection for equipment movement across turf, asphalt, concrete, gravel or soft ground
Surface Protection: Protection for finished surfaces, driveways, pavements, landscaped areas and sensitive sites
Custom Load Support: Custom pads and support products for unusual foot sizes, loads or site requirements
Top Products Used
Common product groups used to support crane set-up areas, protect surfaces and manage equipment access during lift works.
Outrigger Pads
Durable support pads for cranes, pump trucks, EWPs and equipment with concentrated outrigger loads.
Ground Nurse supported a crane set-up where the lift team needed practical ground protection and load support across a constrained work area.
Temporary mats and support pads were used to help manage access, protect the surface and support equipment positioning around the lift zone. The setup helped the project team keep work moving while reducing the risk of unnecessary ground or surface damage
