Abstract
An extender assembly is provided for the lifting foot of a mobile crane used to lift trailers and the like. The extender is comprised of left and right extender pads attached to and spaced apart along a frame such that when the frame is rotatably coupled to the lifting foot via a clevis joint, the extender pads are disposed adjacent each side of the food pad. The lifting foot is capable of being used with the extender pads in either the raised or lowered position depending on the access for foot pad engagement available on the trailer being lifted. The extender assembly is adapted to allow it to be maintained in the raised position once it is manually placed therein and to be automatically rotated into the lowered position by resting the lifting foot on the ground.
