When the light tower is in the operating position it is
located in the middle of a three-point outrigger system
for optimum balance and stability. This system was
engineered to allow the light tower to remain operational
in sustained winds of 60 mph (97 km/h) with the light
tower extended to full height and the outriggers in position
on a firm, level surface.
