Lower Boom Crotch Support Gussets Customer requested a custom truck that replaced the usual “A frame” outriggers with

the modified “H frame” outriggers Since the modified outriggers are now the primary outriggers, the lower boom

crotch support would needed to be mounted. The lower boom crotch support needed custom gussets to ensure they would

stay in place

ANSI Standard Changes ANSI (American National Standards Institute) now requires the primary

section of the lower control valve to change to a spring center section. Created valve assemblies to take off the old valve and put on the

new. Changed over 1,000 configure BOM numbers to reflect the new

ANSI standard.
