Abstract: A device relocates an underlift/vertical arm assembly from the end of a sub-frame to the boom of a wrecker, and hence whole space of the end of sub-frame is used to design rear outriggers that will certainly exhibit an excellent performance. An advantage of a large space for this specific application is to design a wider span of rear outriggers, as completely extended, to match that of the front outriggers, and in the mean time, the tip of a rear outrigger has a sufficient strength to maintain a good stability. The increased length of overlapping part in each section of the three stage outriggers assists to achieve this goal. As the three stage outriggers are fully extended, the tip of each right/left side is additionally reinforced by a diagonal folding bar which bridges between an outer vertical barrel and the end of primary inner sleeve. Consequently, a combination of wider spans and higher stiffnesses at the tip of the rear outrigger provides the wrecker with a superior stability.

Abstract: The present invention provides an integrated boom/underlift assembly in which an underlift is integrated to a first section of a boom. In order to achieve multifunction of the assembly, the underlift/vertical arm assembly is installed with a hydraulic cylinder, an auxiliary winch, a guide pulley, etc. so that the underlift can be operated independently and work closely with the boom to increase both stability and balance during the lifting operation. Additionally, the invented underlift can extend a much longer distance at a higher position than those currently in the art to catch a wrecked object and then works together with the boom.
