A pad for supporting heavy equipment is disclosed, which is composed of a lightweight material to facilitate transportation and installation of the pad. The lighweight pad\s ability to support large weights is enhanced through its use of a multiplicity of sidewalls distributed beneath the top of the pad. The sidewalls are connected by multiple ribs, a fraction of the height of the sidewalls, to further increase the rigidity of the structure. The pad is capable of receiving hollow blocks which increase the support capabilities of the structure without adding considerable weight.

A pad for supporting heavy equipment, comprising: a one-piece molded body having a generally flat top and a plurality of upstanding support walls integral with the top; said support walls including a plurality of sidewalls formed along the perimeter of the top and defining and substantially enclosing and interior area, and a plurality of interior support walls traversing the interior area in an intersecting pattern forming a support grid; a plurality of support ribs, of substantially lesser height than said support walls and integral with and orthogonal to the top, traversing the interior area at predetermined intervals to junction for support with preselected ones of the support walls to subdivide the support grid for better support to the top.
