Claims13
A system for a vehicle, the system comprising:
- an outrigger assembly configured to be coupled to a chassis of the vehicle, the outrigger assembly including a pair of outriggers;
- wherein each outrigger of the pair of outriggers includes an arm and a support foot;
- wherein the arm is selectively extendable laterally outward at a fixed, downward sloping angle relative to a horizontal;
- wherein the fixed, downward sloping angle is a first angle;
- and
- wherein the support foot is extendable relative to the arm at a second angle that is different than the first angle.
