Outriggers (stabilizer legs) keep a truck stable when loads are lifted or the chassis is working. Choosing the right type and maintaining it properly prevents accidents and downtime.

Main types

• Manual outriggers: low cost, simple, suitable for occasional use.
• Hydraulic outriggers: powered extension, faster and easier to operate — the standard for working trucks.
• Linkage (synchronized) outriggers: legs deploy together at high speed, ideal for frequent lifting operations.

Selection factors

• Load capacity: match the outrigger rating to the maximum working load.
• Stroke length: leg travel must cover your working heights — common sizes include 780mm and 830mm.
• Mounting and model: OEM-compatible fit for your truck model avoids modification.

Maintenance basics

• Check hydraulic oil level and look for leaks at seals and hoses.
• Keep leg surfaces clean and lubricated — mud and grit accelerate wear.
• Inspect welds, pins and locking mechanisms during regular service.
