DESCRIPTION
The two section outriggers are used to provide stability for
the truck when the crane is in use. The outriggers can be
used in the fully retracted, at the mid-extended position, or
the fully extended position.
When the outrigger extension is activated, it extends or
retracts the outrigger beam and/or stabilizer cylinders. The
outrigger beams can be extended to the mid-extend position
by rotating the lock pin into the lock position. The spring
loaded lock pin is injected into the hole when the beam
reaches the mid-extend position.
A hydraulic cylinder along with internal cables extend and
retract the two section outrigger beams.
