Abstract
An outrigger device for wheel-mounted working machines includes a fixed box secured to a wheel-mounted traveling body, an extensible beam storably fitted in the fixed box, and a jack cylinder having a float on the lower end thereof and pivotally connected to the front end of the extensible beam, the jack cylinder being swingable around the axis of the pivot between a vertical position and a stored position where it is inwardly drawn into the extensible beam. Thus, when the outrigger is stored, the jack cylinder is drawn toward the extensible beam while turning around the axis of the pivot at its upper end until it is stored in the beam in an inclined state. This arrangement minimizes the amount of projection of the jack cylinder above the machine and makes it possible to receive the float within the machine width while providing protection of the rod of the jack cylinder and increased durability of the cylinder.
