Our customers asked for complete safety solutions beyond whips and chocks. RhinoGuardTM outrigger pads extend our portfolio with ground protection and stability products they can trust.” - Jesica Dziekan, VP of Sales and MarketingPHOENIX, AZ, UNITED STATES, September 17, 2025 /EINPresswire / -- Driver Industrial Safety TM, a trusted provider of job site safety solutions, today announced the launch of its RhinoGuardTM composite outrigger pads . Designed to prevent crane accidents caused by ground failure, the new pads deliver long-term ROI for contractors across construction, utility, mining, and industrial sectors.

Industry data shows inadequate ground support causes 50% of crane accidents and contributes to 23% of OSHA crane-related violations annually. RhinoGuardTM pads address these risks while expanding Driver Industrial Safety's role as a leader in crane safety equipment, heavy equipment safety, and equipment stability solutions.

Traditional wood outrigger pads often warp, rot, and fail unpredictably, leading to costly replacements exceeding $500 per pad. RhinoGuardTM pads maintain consistent load ratings, resist chemicals and road salt, and pay for themselves within 6–12 months through reduced replacement costs and improved worker safety.

The new RhinoGuardTM composite outrigger pads deliver key performance advantages, including:

. Load capacities from 40,000–140,000 lbs
. Temperature stability –40°F to 180°F
. Non-conductive for electrical safety in utility work
. 10–20 years of service life vs. 1–2 years for wood pads
