Resilient and durable cribbing timbers help ‘eliminate chaos’.

Iowa, USA-based outrigger pad manufacturer DICA has developed composite lumber cribbing timbers to support static loads inside or on the job site. Made from post-industrial recycled materials, DICA says its cribbing timbers will not splinter, break, or warp, providing predictable performance time after time to keep structures and equipment secure.

Workers often use lumber found on or around job sites to support materials, supplies, and components. This wood is hard to find in similar sizes, and it gets easily damaged by the surroundings, which requires frequent replacement. DICA says its cribbing timbers are a better option for securing equipment and materials on job sites. They are environmentally friendly and last longer.

“When you’re in the field, you need tools that are reliable and don’t create unnecessary chaos,” says Kris Koberg, CEO of DICA. “Workers should not be scrounging around job sites to find scrap that may or may not even support what they need. DICA’s cribbing timbers can do the job and easily be stored for the next site.” 

DICA claims its cribbing timbers offer more resilience and durability than wood, even in extreme environments. These are available in standard sizes, 4x4, 4x6, and 6x6, and can be used in any combination to create customisable structures.
