Nasty vid, Carl. The outrigger doesn't look sunk in??

Hoo yah!!!

I dodged a bullet one day, high wind, distracted, set up the bucket on an inclined roadway in a parking lot, went up, got the lower boom vertical, upper boom horizontal and fully over the side, felt kinda wobbly, looked down to see no outriggers down:\:

I don't worry cuz it is in the spec, as you say. They come up to a certain limit then stop, its just flex in the structure. If the truck is level to begin with, and on firm ground, y'all are fine. Ya know, I've seen far more pics of tipped over cranes than buckets, do you think buckets tipping...

Rich, opposite side outriggers on ALC and terex lift off ground when booms are far out as SOP, I figured all bucket trucks did. Willie, 6' sounds pretty huge but your yarder was guyed, true?

They are fine on level ground. On slopes, there is definitely the possibility of sliding in certain situations. They are a quick way to spread the weight more but if the CO won't use them just spend more time putting down timbers and 'regular' cribbing.
