Abstract
A load transfer assembly is used on a vehicle which has one or more outriggers. The load transfer assembly consists of an axle assembly mounted proximate the outer end of at least one of the outriggers. The axle assembly bears at least one ground-engaging wheel and is selectively pivotable between a first axle support and transport position, with the wheel in engagement with the ground (outrigger retracted), and a second axle storage position, with the wheel out of engagement with the ground (outrigger extended).
