Dutch term or phrase: stempelplaten
Last question:

Again in the context of cranes - use thereof is advised to stop a crane toppling in the text but no further context.

By way of explanation, I've found:
Stempelplaten zorgen voor een veel betere stabiliteit van kranen. Deze platen voorkomen het wegzakken in de ondergrond.

together with pictures so I know what they do, I just can't find the English equivalent.

Help would be appreciated!

Thanks
