UHMWPE Cribbing Blocks are durable, lightweight, and high-strength supports manufactured from ultra-high-molecular-weight polyethylene. They resist moisture, chemicals, corrosion, and rot, and unlike traditional wood cribbing, they do not splinter, crack, or absorb water. Their long service life and low maintenance requirements make them a cost-effective solution for lifting, rigging, and heavy-load support applications.
Advantages:
1. Lightweight and easy to handle
2. Strong and resilient: They are designed to withstand high compressive loads (up to 3000 psi) and will bend rather than break under extreme loads. They won't splinter or mushroom and retain their shape over time.
3. Corrosion-resistant: UHMWPE is resistant to water, oil, and other chemicals, and it will not rot, swell, or weaken when exposed to the elements.
4. Cost-effective: Their long lifespan means they don't need to be replaced as often as other materials, making them a more cost-effective choice in the long run.
5. Easy to clean: They have a non-stick surface that is easy to clean and are anti-static, so that dust can be easily removed with water.
6. Ideal for aboveground storage tank lifting, tank bottom replacement, annular plate replacement, and foundation repairs.

Ekki or Azobe Jacking Timbers
Disadvantage
Irizar UHMWPE Poly Cribbing Blocks provide a durable, reusable, and low-maintenance alternative to traditional Ekki or Azobe wood cribbing. Their consistent manufactured dimensions help create more uniform and stable cribbing stacks for tank jacking and heavy lifting applications. Unlike wood, UHMWPE poly cribbing does not absorb significant moisture, rot, splinter, warp, or develop grain-related cracks. The blocks are also resistant to impact, abrasion, oils, hydraulic fluids, and many industrial chemicals. Their nonporous surface makes them easier to clean, inspect, transport, and reuse across multiple lifting projects. Integrated handles and permanent identification markings can also improve job-site handling and inventory control.
