About Bigfoot Outrigger Pads
Bigfoot Construction Equipment is an American Family Manufacturer that specializes in outrigger pads. We are the only major manufacturer of both wood & composite as well as the longest in-house manufacturer of Custom Composite.
Bigfoot uses American materials with veteran employees & ownership. We manufacture outrigger pads for the safety of hard-working personnel around the world. Building standard / custom / premium outrigger pads to maximize STRENGTH / STABILITY / SAFETY is our business.
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.

Why You Should Buy American Made Products
Workplace Safety
Qualifying your vendor is step one in ensuring safety in such a critical area for your hard working crews. Imported products do not guarantee the same high standards as American goods.
Quality
When you see a “Made in the USA” sticker or logo on a product, you know that you have your hands on a quality good. Companies that manufacture products in the U.S. have full control of the process from the materials used to the way products are constructed. Control over the manufacturing process results in a quality product that cannot be matched by outsourcing.
Jobs
The most common reason shoppers give for buying American is to help save or create jobs in the United States.
A Stronger Economy
Buying American-made goods doesn’t just support the workers who make those goods; its benefits also ripple out through the entire economy. When American factories prosper, they hire American construction firms to expand their buildings, American accounting firms to handle their money, and American energy suppliers to provide them with power. The EPI estimates that every U.S. manufacturing job supports an additional 1.4 jobs in other parts of the economy.
