The Proper Tools to Keep Your Equipment Moving...
SECURING THE LOAD & CRIBBING
FEATURES OF ESCO CRIBBING
Active –vs– Static Cribbing
Active cribbing is used when a person is
working near the cribbing.
Static (or Passive) cribbing is used to keep
material off the ground to
allow a forklift to operate.
Design Strength
Cross grain bearing design strength for
traditional wood cribbing varies by wood
species from 200 PSI to 1000 PSI.
For example using:
500 PSI; Strength 500 x 3.5 x 3.5 x 4 =
24,000 lbs.
Plastic cribbing can sustain up to 700-1200
PSI. Creating a safer, longer lasting and more
durable cribbing base.
