LevelRight is DICA’s newest solution for operators of boom trucks, cranes, concrete pumps, jacking applications and other equipment with outriggers that must be operated in a level condition. LevelRight users can adjust the overall angle from 0-10 degrees and adjust in two planes up to five degrees. The 24-in. diameter LevelRight will accept up to a 20-in. square or 24-in. round outrigger float. It has a rated capacity of 350,000 lbs.
Designed to maintain the same high standards of durability, easy of use, and safety, the DICA LevelRight Outrigger Pad product line is currently available in four sizes: 12-, 24-, 30, and 35 inches.
“Besides the risk of tipping, an out-of-level concrete pump truck can cause operational inefficiencies and increased wear on equipment. LevelRight simplifies the setup process, eliminating the need for wedges, digging, or shoveling. With this expansion, concrete pump truck operators can achieve a level setup regardless of the equipment’s size,” said Kris Koberg, CEO of DICA.
LevelRight is made from DICAs durable SafetyTech material and features its proprietary SafetyTexturing for enhanced grip. The built-in bubble level ensures precise adjustment and the expanded sizes can accommodate larger outrigger floats and other specialized equipment requirements. LevelRight can also be used as a base for DICA’s ProStack Cribbing Blocks to provide extra height while ensuring the cribbing setup remains level.
“With LevelRight, we wanted to make the right way of doing things an easy way of doing things. For crane applications, using supporting materials such as outrigger or crane pads as the base layer is required to distribute the load. LevelRight fits between the pad and outrigger float to ensure the outrigger is placed on a flat and level surface,” said Kerry Koberg, sales director at DICA. “In situations where cribbing blocks are needed for extra height, LevelRight can be used as the base under ProStack Cribbing Blocks to ensure the blocking is on a level surface,” he said.
The response from Scott Sutherland, the Canadian Concrete Pumper, with AJ’s Concrete Pumping in Vancouver, British Columbia: “Problem solved, just like that! No more wedges, no more digging, no more shoveling. This is brilliant for leveling in two different axes.”
