Many types of materials are commonly stacked into a “cribbing” configuration and used in equipment repair, and often the crib stack is used in conjunction with other stabilization equipment, such as pneumatic or hydraulic shoring. Expressions such as “lift an inch, crib an inch” and “pack as you jack” are used to remind operators of the importance of cribbing to safely secure and protect the equipment and technician.
Historically, wood has been used for cribbing or material storage. We know wood cribbing is not tested. Wood absorbs liquids and pathogens leading to a dangerous work environment.
