re:imagine stability
For years, fire departments, industrial plants, mining and construction workers have used wood to crib, block or stabilise
equipment, products and vehicles. A lot of cribbing used today is wood. Wood is relatively inexpensive, but comes
with knots, is absorbent, cracks, splits and splinters. The only guarantee with wood is that you will eventually need to
replace it.
dura crib and dura stat plastic cribbing products do not contain knots, do not split, crack or splinter. They do not
absorb blood, oil or most commonly used chemicals and are slip resistant. This saves you time and money in the long
run.
Using dura crib and dura stat recycled plastic cribbing and blocking products is an ethical and ecologically sustainable
important statement. By using these products for your stabilising tasks, you help support a solution to deforestation,
