Tim-

The cranes are rated up to 10,000 but that decreases as the boom is extended out (conservative rating). I would always use the outriggers with anything substantial. Bracing can be used with side lifts for added support. Several good diagrams in the -10 manual.

The soon to be mine M246 wrecker tractor has a weight plate in the crane cab which states the limits of the crane with and without the outriggers. Its on my other computer so I will try to post a pic of it tomorrow. 10,000lbs is the max with outriggers but I know the TM says you can go up to 20,000lbs with the boom supports that you put on the ground.
