Westley Plastics manufacture Cribbing Blocks in the UK, designed to replace traditionally used timber supports with a high integrity, load tested alternative.

Tested to 200T, the cribbing block system is the safest way to block, jack and support machinery during maintenance. The tough, high impact material has been designed specifically for the use of cribbing, jacking and supporting quarry vehicles, heavy machinery, trains, trams, cranes and even temporary buildings.

Due to its interlocking design, the blocks can be easily adjusted to the desired height and the whole system is lightweight, meaning it can be installed and removed quickly without a crane or forklift.

Timber supports are untested and can crack, rot or split, meaning working underneath a vehicle supported in this way can be dangerous and potentially fatal. In contrast, each cribbing block has been tested to 200 tonnes; ensuring workers are safe whilst giving peace of mind to health and safety officers and managers.

Westley Plastics are able to offer a variety of bespoke caps (Axle V, jack stand, rubber caps) making the system adaptable to a variety of applications, whilst still retaining its load rating certification. Company names can also be engraved on request.
