A stabilizer pad or crane mat comprising lifting components configured to cooperate with, guide into position, and securely hold a strap or rod used to lift or hoist the pad, and stacking components configured to cooperate with, guide into position, and securely hold an accompanying stabilizer pad when stacked together.
An ergonomic stabilizer pad and ergonomic assembly that stabilizes equipment—e.g., cranes or vehicles with outriggers—during use as well as protects the ground surface on which the equipment is placed. The stabilizer pad includes an ergonomic handle and arrangement. An ergonomic stabilizer pad assembly comprises modular components that divide the weight of the assembly between individual components. Each component can be separately transported and a stabilizer pad assembly quickly and easily constructed and deconstructed. Furthermore, the ergonomic stabilizer pad assembly compensates for deflection of the pad that occurs during use and may be used with existing stabilizer pads. The invention eases lifting tasks associated with transporting and positioning stabilizer pads and may reduce the incidence of user injuries. According to the invention, any size pad, even large sizes with a large weight, can be easily handled.
A system and methods for stabilizer mat testing comprising a compressible material element and platen elements. Two stabilizer mats are positioned on opposing surfaces of the compressible material element and located between the platen elements. A force is supplied to the test system, i.e., a fluid supplied by a fluid supply component to the compressible material element, a load supplied by a load supply component to the compressible material element, or both. Displacement measurements from the stabilizer mat are obtained and evaluated. Stabilizer mat testing may be a standardized method used to validate design and manufacture, to test a simulated use that may occur in the field, to monitor life cycle, or to certify performance.

A visor shield for shielding a marine electronic device from sunlight, weather and spray includes a visor body having a base portion for attachment to an electronic device, and a protruding portion extending from the base portion and sized to extend out from the electronic device to shade a front face of the electronic device. The base portion and the protruding portion can be formed of a unitary plastic part. The base portion can comprise a wall continuous with the protruding portion. A compressible seal can be attached to a surface of the wall and arranged to be compressed against a housing of the electronic device when the base portion is attached to the electronic device.
A propeller shield apparatus for mounting to a trolling motor having an exposed propeller with a horizontal axis includes a vertical fin and an arcuate propeller shield. The arcuate propeller shield is oriented concave downward and fixed to the vertical fin. The vertical fin is carried by the trolling motor. The vertical fin spaces the propeller shield above the propeller. A curved bracket is provided, connected to the vertical fin, and is clamped to the trolling motor. Angular fins can be provided at opposite ends of the propeller shield which extend substantially radially from the horizontal axis.
