Attachment Point Component – Repair and Installation of Machinery and Equipment

Component Specifications

Definition

A structural interface component designed to connect outrigger pads or floats to mobile machinery such as cranes, aerial lifts, or construction equipment. It ensures proper alignment, load transfer, and secure fastening between the pad and the outrigger leg, optimizing stability during operations on uneven or soft terrain.

Working Principle

The attachment point functions as a mechanical interface that transfers vertical and lateral loads from the outrigger leg to the pad/float. It typically employs pin-and-clevis, bolted flange, or quick-connect mechanisms to allow for secure engagement while permitting easy installation/removal. Proper design ensures uniform pressure distribution to prevent ground penetration or tipping.

Materials

High-strength steel (e.g., ASTM A36 or A572 Grade 50), often with corrosion-resistant coatings (zinc plating or powder coating). May include hardened steel pins (SAE 4140) and wear-resistant bushings (bronze or polymer composites).

Technical Parameters

Weight 5 to 50 lbs
Load Capacity 10,000 to 50,000 lbs
Connection Type Pin-and-Clevis, Flange Bolt, Quick-Release

Frequently Asked Questions

What is the primary function of an attachment point in outrigger systems?

It securely connects the outrigger pad/float to the machinery, ensuring stable load transfer and preventing shifting or detachment during operation.

How do I select the right attachment point for my equipment?

Consider the machinery's weight, outrigger load capacity, terrain conditions, and compatibility with existing pad/float designs—refer to manufacturer specifications and standards like ISO 4309.
