If you had an X frame and four outriggers the trailer would only have to support the trasport weight of the crane and none of the big weight implied by a load 17' out. A lot of Mogs have this when a big crane is mounted...they're just a powered wagon for crane mobility.
BTW, that trailer is a...
Thanks for the pics!!! [thumbzup] Mine has the square 4 bolt backing plate but nothing else outboard from it. I'm at the crossroad where I either make up something like the stock set up or cut it all out and put a rectangular outrigger arm in the tube like it would be if it were originally...
Holy smokes! Anytime a load swings it can get the heart pumping! I just repicked my knuckleboom off my 5 ton the other day to do other work to it...they're BIG in the air. Is it possibly you could take a couple of pics of the outriggers and mounts where they bolt onto the crane base for me...

I see you have the typical outrigger set up for these that just unpin and drop down without telescoping out. I hope they clear your tank/truck width...

Nice! There doesn't seem to be much market for the roller chassis on those though. I think it's pretty neat how they could scoot themselves front to rear on a flatbed trailer hauling block. 23' will be fine on a deuce...you WILL always want more at times, but they're very handy. I'm probably...
