The set of outriggers reduces wear on outriggers by each having a single actuator disposed at or above a deck level, to prevent or reduce contaminants in the actuator. The utility vehicle also utilizes a new set of outriggers. In embodiments of the invention, the utility vehicle increases mobility through disaster regions by utilizing tracks. SUMMARYĮmbodiments of the invention solve the above-mentioned problems by providing a utility vehicle configured for use in emergency situations. Existing outriggers are therefore not suitable to these disaster scenarios. “Out-and-down” outriggers require two actuators (an “out” actuator and a “down” actuator) which places an actuator adjacent to the ground. Radial outriggers also have an actuator adjacent to the ground, which can allow mud and dirt to damage the outrigger. Radial outriggers have low ground clearance such that they cannot be emplaced around guardrails and other obstacles. In these and other scenarios, a stable utility vehicle prevents tipping or collapse.Įxisting outriggers, used to stabilize the vehicle, provide numerous disadvantages.
In the case of a crane, the boom assembly lifts and moves heavy loads. In the case of an aerial device, the boom assembly supports a utility platform in which one or more utility workers stand.
Utility vehicles typically include a boom assembly that aids in performing the task. Utility workers utilize aerial devices, cranes, and other utility vehicles to perform numerous tasks. Further, these natural disasters make maintenance of the utility vehicle difficult, due to the adverse conditions. However, these natural disasters can make maneuvering a traditional utility vehicle into and through the area very difficult. This not only returns the area to normalcy but can also assist in other relief efforts. The response to natural disasters often includes repairing power, communications, and other vital infrastructure. Response to natural disasters, such as floods and hurricanes, are becoming increasingly common. More specifically, embodiments of the invention relate to an emergency utility vehicle with high-clearance folding outriggers. Not suitable for submersible/ man overboard applications.Embodiments of the invention relate to the utility vehicles and the stabilization thereof.Not for use as a visual distress signal.Not for use as a personal flotation device.The package also includes a solder-free female UHF connector that allows the antenna to be spliced into existing coax cables on the boat. The pre-soldered PL-259 connector allows connection to a Fixed VHF directly or a handheld via the included SMA Adaptor. The connectors included in the package allow for versatile connection options. The antenna also features grommets on the top and bottom to facilitate hanging and securing to spreaders, masts, hard tops and other structures even in case the inflatable bladder becomes damaged. The antenna can be mounted with its hook and loop straps allowing for quick and easy installation in any weather to stanchions, outriggers or other vertical structures on board. Thanks to its inflatable design, the antenna can be deflated and stowed away safely in its easy-to-spot storage bag until it is needed again.

It is an inflatable antenna that can be rapidly deployed via a CO2 cartridge or a manual tube and inflates to 5 ft (1.6 m) to offer a full 3dB antenna with a range of up to three times greater than any existing helical emergency antenna. The GALAXY INFL8-5 by Shakespeare is the world’s first emergency antenna with the performance to earn the GALAXY name. Ideal for: Emergency Antenna, Backup Antenna, Kayaks, Jet Skis, Inflatables & Dingeys. 5’ (1.5m) Galaxy®-INFL8 VHF 3dB – Inflatable Emergency & Special Purpose Antenna.
