Summary:An outrigger assembly useful for supporting and stabilizing a mobile work machine, such as a vehicle-mounted telescopic belt conveyor, while the work machine is operating. The outrigger assembly includes a stationary support housing mounted to the vehicle body and a telescoping inner housing that is movable into and out of the support housing. A leg assembly, in turn, telescopes into and out of the inner housing and includes a leg member that is pivotally mounted to a mounting beam of the leg assembly. The leg member includes a support pad that contacts the ground when the leg member is in its ground-engaging position and covers the opening to the inner housing when the leg assembly is in its fully retracted position.
