Oliver Technologies
Oliver Technologies manufactures foundation hardware for manufactured and mobile homes: injection-molded ABS pier pads, adjustable steel perimeter piers and heads, cap boards and wedges, rock and earth auger anchors, barbed drive anchors, shed and storm shelter anchors, tie-down connectors and straps, and all-steel foundation systems.
The company was founded in December 1995 in Hohenwald, Tennessee. Manufacturing is done in-house and covers injection molding, metal stamping, steel fabrication and welding. Oliver sells directly to dealers, installers and distributors across the continental United States, with distribution in Tennessee, Texas and Florida and shipping to the United States and Canada. It also runs its own trucking system for delivery to the installation site.
Products are specified by load. Square ABS pads come in 16-inch and 24-inch sizes, oval pads in six sizes, and three multi-pier configurations combine oval pads to span mating-line piers and large openings; load ratings are published per pad at 1,000, 2,000 and 3,000 PSF soil bearing. Steel perimeter piers come in fourteen heights from 10 to 36 inches with standard or locking heads and are rated for pier loads up to 6,000 lbs. The all-steel foundation systems are listed under RAD-1371, and pad installation instructions are to be used with RAD-1373 and applicable local requirements.
Oliver Technologies is part of a family of companies that also includes Oliver Travel Trailers and Oliver Fiberglass Products. Sizing and pricing are quoted by phone; the company asks installers to call for soil and load guidance and full spec sheets by pad size.

Common questions
- What is included in the ABS pier pad line?
- The line covers square pads, oval pads, multi-pier configurations, steel piers and heads, cap boards, and wedges for manufactured and mobile home foundation setups.
- What sizes do the ABS pier pads come in?
- Square pads come in two sizes, 16 inches by 16 inches and 24 inches by 24 inches. Oval pads come in six sizes. Oliver publishes full size and load tables on its square pad and oval pad pages.
- Can the pads be used with both steel piers and concrete block?
- Yes. Oliver states its ABS pier pads are compatible with both steel pier and concrete block installations. It also notes that concrete blocks are rated at 8,000 pounds, so a load of 8,001 pounds or more must be double stacked, and that higher capacities may require additional setup per local codes and Oliver's installation guidelines.
