Abstract
An outrigger pad holder is provided. The outrigger pad holder includes a pocket for receiving an outrigger pad and at least one connection point for attaching the outrigger pad holder to an outrigger. The outrigger pad is coupled to an outrigger, such as to an outrigger cylinder, such that the outrigger pad holder moves with the outrigger. Accordingly, when the outrigger is deployed, the outrigger pad holder is moved outwardly from the vehicle. When the outrigger is pulled in, for example overnight or during travel, the outrigger pad holder (and outrigger pad held therein) is pulled into the body of the vehicle.
