What happens here

Due to the unstable ground conditions, the crew must temporarily halt crane operations to stabilize the truck's outriggers. This involves using shovels to dig out mud and ice, creating a firmer base, and placing sturdy wooden or concrete pads underneath the stabilizer jacks to prevent further sinking. This meticulous preparation is crucial for safely resuming the heavy lifting process.

Goal: Ensure the crane truck's stability for safe operation on soft and uneven ground.
