Jim - put an eye bolt in whatever you're using. Then get a push broom handle and screw a hook into the non-threaded end. Use the handle to place or retrieve your pads

Then since you have that long broom handle with the threaded end not doing anything, go buy a squeegee to put on it for cleaning that tall windshield.

My pads were three layers of 5/8 plywood, 24" square. Original use was on blacktop driveway to spread the load. I have used them on grassy sites and they flat out did not sink in. They are now however getting a bit 'funky'. They will be replaced with 12" square 2" thick rubber pads.

While on the subject, get a pair of wheel chocks. Sort of a 'belt and suspenders' approach.

The advantage of bigger ones mine our about 2 feet long - (I use 2/6 with layers of plywood on both sides) is that they distribute the weight and the jacks do not settle into the ground or gravel


Although I think these pads are a nice deal there for sure is time and place no doubt
If you have a need for jack pads to be 2 feet long your definitely in very severe odd territory for sure

Trackrig, they stay on the jacks all the time so would get water when driving.

I'm not really sure what they'd be good for except lightening strikes????

I use homemade 16" x 16" pads to provide extra support on soft ground or leveling on uneven ground. These are barely larger than the metal pad on the end of the jack and they aren't thick enough or stackable to use on uneven ground. As far as self draining, how do they fill up with water when they're under the MH?
