Boom/crane truck

[Lil Giants]

Intriguing project there Freddy.

I was thinking a rack & pinion design might work sweetly for sliding out your outrigger arms, one less hyd valve & cyls.

Did you see Krys's knuckle boom trk, he was using a nifty fork cradle for no hands on to load/unload the freight.

TC1,Next the trailer,then stuff it with runnin guts,do the body work,then the paint shop. It's gunna be a bit before she has some color in er cheeks.
Joe,I'm going to be a happy guy if it all works smooth.Once I'm happy,then comes the add ons.
Also the outrigger slides will move all 4 at the same time & only use one channel. Mechanical,not hydraulics.
Thanks Guys!
