What is the Difference Between A Stabilizer and Outrigger? (For Trucks)
A stabilizer is a device used to reduce the lateral sway of a vehicle, especially during sudden turns or winds. An outrigger is an extension arm that provides support and stability to a truck, crane, or other heavy equipment during lifting or stabilizing operations. In simple terms, a stabilizer works to keep the truck from tipping over, while an outrigger helps support the weight of a load being carried.
