DICA
DICA will highlight its expanded product line of ground protection and site access solutions designed for a variety of construction and lifting applications.
The exhibit will feature the new Ranger HD, Defender and Titan access mats, engineered to provide temporary jobsite support for equipment ranging from light machinery to heavy mobile and crawler cranes. Ranger HD mats measure four by eight feet and are intended for light-duty access and surface protection. Defender mats, three by six feet and one-inch thick, are designed for medium-duty applications, including boom trucks, concrete pump trucks and rough terrain cranes. Titan mats are two inches thick, covering 71 square feet and are suited for heavier lifting and ground stabilization needs.
In addition to the new mats, DICA’ s booth will include its existing line of engineered ground support products, such as SafetyTech outrigger pads, FiberMax crane pads, LevelRight leveling pads and updated WorkSafe hole covers.
Kris Koberg, CEO of DICA, noted that SafetyTech has been available for more than two decades and continues to be the top-selling outrigger pad in the industry. He added that attendees will have the opportunity to see why the product is widely used, describing it as dependable, easy to handle and trusted by operators in the field.
The company positions its ground protection and access solutions as designed to enhance safety and operational efficiency across multiple industries, including crane operations, utility work, tree care, concrete pumping and vegetation management.
DICA’ s exhibit will be open March 3 – 7 at booth F42066, providing attendees the opportunity to see the new access mats and full ground support product range in person.
