<p>Extending ground support struts for a construction vehicle has a pair of telescopic arms (2) at each end of the vehicle, hinged from a common point at each end to extend in a V shape away from the vehicle. The first section of each arm slides in a clamp (7) at the bottom of a hydraulic ram (5) secured to the chassis so that the strut can be pressed against the ground.

The rams press directly on the chassis, which is reinforced by a frame (13).</p> |
