Within the safe range (barely). First time stacking the dunnage under this machine. Got it as high as I could on the front. 

150 yards pumped and no issues. just wondering if I got lucky, or if setup was okay. What say you?

Looking for advice as to what you pro's would do. Thanks!

I would say  NOT!!! I have allways made the base of my pump (deck) LEVEL. Some times    I will even get up on the deck to walk back and forth .   If  I can not tell by looking  on the ground. I'm able to tell by walking on the deck. That brand of pump that you are operating  I beleave comes with a bubble level next to your outrigger stack vaules. Looking at your pump the cab looks low.But your slab was between your outriggers. Your pour could of went different if your boom was over the front bumper. I have learn that if you don't like it  DON'T do it  Don't Chance safty !!!!  O'' Ive had many boom wheeels in the air some that I was able to walk under. Please be safe and get more wood or the contractor to help make you set up as safe!!!

StreamLine Pumping, For argument sake, I, myself don't see a problem with the set up part of your pump. from the pictures, the ground looks good. Most would ignore the wheel clocks, so good on you for taking that extra step. I find those bubble levels that are provided by the manufacturers never seem to last long anyways. A torpedo level works fine for us. Keeping in mind how far the boom needs to be stretched out would be my deciding factor on this set up, as to how much left and right rotations I would want to introduce to the turret! JMO. In a perfect world,,, level, of course.

I myself I think you need to start with making your ground level under your outriggers.... little shovel work then put your dunage down, you might be a little low in front I would hate to see it walk forward.... Jmo

The biggest problem I see is the outrigger pad being out of level. I like to have my pump higher on the side I'm Working on, but the manufatures say as long as you are within 3 degrees you are fine... I just don't like to test the limits. Good looking pump though.

yeah i agree with the above post. Make sure your pads are level :) helps to bring a ladder too!

looks to me like he's within 3 degrees and the pads and outrigger foot is pretty level also, I hate stacking dunnage high in that small of a area , I think he did a pretty good job , but would like to see that dunnage on a bigger scale when stacking that high
