Placing outrigger from aerial lift on a raised curb for operation.

[Phil]

Scenario: You are going to work off the passenger side of your aerial lift truck. You are close to a curb and when the outrigger is lowered, it rests on the outrigger pad which is placed on curb itself. The outrigger and pad are centered on the curb and the curb concrete is in good condition. Is this acceptable and stable?

We’ve always added some cribbing to any overhang to distribute weight better.

Same. If there was a height difference between the curb top and soil, I would put cribbing on the soil to make even with curb. This was usually a small difference if any.

I would think you'd want cribbing on the soil and the gutter.

The outrigger foot, centered on the curb, would overhang both sides, I would Guess.
