Outrigger Assemblies for Crane Trucks, Boom Trucks & Heavy Equipment
Outrigger assemblies are complete support-system packages for crane trucks, boom trucks, aerial lifts and other heavy equipment. At Custom Truck One Source, our “Outrigger Assemblies” category offers fully engineered assemblies — including beams, center posts, jacks/legs, pads, and mounting hardware — designed to provide stability, safety and proper load support for lifting and stabilization operations.
What Is an Outrigger Assembly and Why It Matters
An outrigger system transforms a mobile crane or truck-mounted lift into a stable, ground-anchored lifting platform by extending support structures outward and downward to create a wide, stable base. Without outriggers, cranes rely solely on their tires or tracks — significantly reducing lifting capacity and increasing risk of tipping.
An “Outrigger Assembly” bundles all necessary structural components — beams, center posts/tubes, hydraulic jacks/legs (or mechanical supports), pads/feet and mounting hardware — into a ready-to-install kit. This packaged approach simplifies installation or retrofit, ensures component compatibility, and helps maintain structural integrity and safety compliance.
Key Features & Specifications to Consider
When selecting an outrigger assembly for a crane truck or heavy equipment, make sure it includes and meets:
-
Full system components: beams (outrigger spreaders), center posts/tubes, jacks or legs (hydraulic or mechanical), outrigger pads/feet, mounting brackets and hardware.
-
Structural strength & duty-rating: Components fabricated from structurally rated steel or equivalent materials; weld quality, wall thickness, and load-rating capacity should match or exceed equipment lifting requirements.
-
Proper geometry and fitment: Assembly must match truck/chassis dimensions, mounting points, jack spacing, and overall footprint needs for the vehicle or crane model.
-
Hydraulic/ mechanical reliability (if applicable): Jacks or legs should be rated for heavy loads, have appropriate stroke length/extension, seal and seal-housing to resist weather, and be compatible with the vehicle’s hydraulic or control system.
-
Ground support capability: Outrigger pads or feet should distribute load appropriately (especially on softer or uneven ground), and assembly should include or recommend proper support mats/pads when required.
-
Complete mounting hardware & alignment assistance: Proper bolts, weld brackets or flanges so the assembly integrates securely with the chassis/frame, ensuring safety and longevity.
Safety, Maintenance & Use Guidelines
To ensure safe and effective operation:
-
Always deploy outriggers fully before lifting — improper or partial deployment is a leading cause of crane tipping accidents.
-
Use appropriate outrigger pads or mats under feet — this distributes ground pressure, especially on soft or uneven terrain, minimizing risk of sinking or instability.
-
Inspect the entire assembly before each lift — check welds, beams, posts, legs/jacks, pads/feet, bolts and mounting hardware for cracks, deformation, corrosion or wear.
-
Confirm hydraulic or mechanical components (if included) are functioning properly — jacks should extend/contract smoothly, seals intact, legs lock securely, and load per jack should not exceed rating.
-
Keep records of inspections, maintenance, load-history and any repairs — helps maintain safety history and supports preventive maintenance planning.
