It that your 63 shot rigged? You got Balls man! The company I used to work so sent me on a number of placements at a hydro dam with a 36. The truck barley fit on the dam. Front out riggers only down with the rears just out of the locks and down. Boom straight  up, turn and opened all the way out. No moving left or right. Crazy!

It is a good day when we can use all of the outrigger spread!

If the outrigger on the drivers side is extended all the way then the boom is safe where it is. It is a function of the OSS. I know it looks 'iffy' but it is pretty solid like that. Those front folding outriggers are very slick. They actually make much more sense than the "X" style. They are more versitle.

if this machine is equiped with o.s.s.the computer will not allow the boom to go past the safe point. but do you want to trust the computer?

your right you should never put your full trust into the machine that's where the experiance of the opperater comes in to it knowing whats right and what's wrong.but having the best equipment available help's a lot..
