Cribbing – Technical Specs
Active versus Static Cribbing Active cribbing is used when a person is working near the cribbing. Static (or passive) cribbing is used to keep material off the ground to allow a forklift to operate.
Design Strength Crossgrain bearing design strength for traditional wood cribbing varies by wood species and quality (evenness of grain, presence of knots, etc.) from 200 PSI to 1000PSI. Plastic cribbing can sustain up to 700-1200 PSI creating a safer, longer-lasting and more durable cribbing base.
