To resist side deflection and buckling of the top and side plates in larger size multi-section telescopic crane booms, top plate lateral supports for the movable boom sections in the fully extended and fully retracted critical zones are provided to supplement the action of bottom lateral wear pads. The top plate lateral supports include adjustable spring bars on the sides and forward ends of the boom sections and coacting cam pads on the top plates of the boom sections at their forward ends and in the socketing zones when the boom sections are fully extended.
