ABSTRACT:
A cleat that increases the adhesive friction between a base pad of a stabilizer and an unstable ground surface, for inhibiting the base pad from inadvertently moving relative to the unstable ground surface is provided. The cleat inhibits the stabilizer and its utility vehicle from becoming unstable, when the vehicle is positioned on an unstable ground surface, such as sand, snow, ice, mud, or several other well known unstable ground surfaces. The cleat of the present invention is adapted to be detachably coupled to the base pad of the stabilizer. The cleat can be quickly installed on the base pad or easily removed for cleaning. The cleat includes a base plate that is configured complementary to the cross-sectional configuration of the base pad and a base member coupled to a bottom surface of the base plate. The base member is configured to increase the adhesive friction, between the base pad and ground surface, for inhibiting the base pad from inadvertently moving relative to the ground surface. The base member consists of an openwork member that comprises a plurality of interconnected rod members with apertures formed between the rod members.
