What should crane operators know about outrigger setup?
Proper outrigger setup requires level ground, full extension, float contact, and blocking. Always follow manufacturer specifications for setup procedures.
Outrigger setup is critical for crane stability and safe operation. Begin by positioning the crane on firm, level ground capable of supporting the combined weight of the crane and load. Inspect the ground for underground utilities, soft spots, or slopes that could compromise stability.
Remember: LEFB - Level ground, Extend fully, Float contact, Block properly
