DESCRIPTION
This 2″ 24×24 Bigfoot Outrigger Pad, part number P242420, is for serious drilling tasks requiring maximum stability. It boasts an increased thickness of 2 inches, keeping its size at 24×24 inches (offering 576 square inches of surface area). While heavier at 40 lbs compared to thinner models, this pad prioritizes strength. It boasts an impressive vertical load capacity of 80,000 lbs and a 45-degree load capacity of 40,000 lbs. Most significantly, the 2″ 24×24 Bigfoot Outrigger Pad features a crush rating of 500, making it twice as crush-resistant than thinner Bigfoot pads. This increased crush rating makes it ideal for heavy-duty drilling applications where stability under extreme pressure is crucial.
Bigfoot outrigger pads stabilize vehicles used for water well drilling, coring, and other applications. They are made from a custom composite material that is guaranteed for life.

This company was started by Bill Steiner “Bigfoot Bill” while working in the concrete industry. Bigfoot was started from the ground up, with a hands-on approach to building and engineering outrigger pads for safety.
Bigfoot has designed a custom blend on our composite outrigger pads to maximize compressive loads & guarantee our outrigger pads for life. Working with engineers for compressive load ratings & GBC (ground bearing capacities), as well as being an American family manufacturer that started as an end user of our product, has allowed Bigfoot to build the best outrigger pads around the world.
Now Bill’s two sons run this business, maintaining the craftmanship & legacy of their father while working for him for over 20 years.
While building outrigger pads with Bigfoot, one of the son’s jobs included two years as a tree trimmer and 18 years as a Journeyman Lineman. Working with bucket/ digger derricks/ operating cranes from 15-40 tons as well as working with operators on 100-300 ton cranes on a daily basis. Working on the High line side of Linework was an experience that taught life lessons that would help build success.”
