Outriggers / shoes / floats provide a turnkey solution by incorporating the pad and attachment head into a single casting. Combined with Bigfoot custom composite outrigger pads, a total work solution is achieved. These pads are cast from Almag (aluminum magnesium) which has the highest strength to weight ratio of any as-cast aluminum. This reduces operator fatigue and stress when handling pads and machine capacity is maximized because total weight is lowered.
