1. An outrigger pad for placement between an outrigger foot and the ground to improve the support given to an outrigger mechanism, said outrigger pad comprising:

  • a base having a generally planar lower surface;

    gripping means on the lower surface of said base for penetrating the ground to a short distance when force is applied from above, thereby restricting lateral movement of the outrigger pad over the ground contacted by said gripping means;

    a plurality of raised ribs on the upper surface of said base, said ribs having upper edges lying substantially in a plane that defines an oblique angle with respect to the lower surface of said base;

    said ribs having interfitting means for receiving said gripping means on the lower surface of another outrigger pad of like construction, so that a plurality of outrigger pads of like construction can be interfittingly stacked, one on top of another, and restricted from lateral motion with respect to one another.
