ABSTRACT:
A selectively positionable pad assembly for the stabilizer of a material handling implement is disclosed wherein the pad assembly includes multiple ground-engaging surfaces. The pad assembly includes a mounting bracket which is pivotally connected to a free end of a vertically movable stabilizer arm for relative movement with respect to the arm about a first axis. The assembly further includes a pivotal pad member pivotally connected to the mounting bracket for relative pivotal movement with respect thereto about a second axis which extends at an acute angle with respect to the first axis. The pivotal pad member includes first and second pad portions which respectively define first and second ground-engaging surfaces. The first ground-engaging surface is provided in a grouser-like configuration for use on relatively soft ground, while the second surface is defined by resilient elastomeric elements for use on relatively hard ground such as asphalt or concrete. A lock pin arrangement is provided for maintaining the selected one of the pad portions in position for use, thus permitting very convenient repositioning of the pivotal pad member for use of the ground-engaging surface which is best suited for the material handling operation to be performed.
