Abstract
An improved structural support for attaching an outrigger to a mobile equipment platform is provided that facilitates assembly of the outrigger and platform to the frame of a truck, and establishes a secure yet flexible joint between the outrigger and the platform. The structural support hereof preferably includes a pair of laterally spaced apart, vertically oriented, elongated brackets attached to and depending from the equipment platform for receiving an associated ground-engaging support member of the outrigger, and a bolt assembly for securing the outrigger to the brackets. The support may be employed to bolt an outrigger to a platform pre-positioned on the frame of a truck, with the truck frame interposed between the outrigger and the platform. Spacers may advantageously be interposed between the outrigger and the truck frame so that the structural support may readily accommodate attachment of an equipment platform and outrigger to truck frames of varying dimensions. The bolt assembly serves to securely attach the outrigger to the equipment platform, thereby tightly engaging the truck frame between the platform and outrigger and eliminating the need for welding between the outrigger and platform or truck frame.
