The stability of the crawler crane is one safety precaution that you consider when you are driving a crawler crane.
as crawler cranes are normally on steel treads ( Caterpillar type) they are on a very steady footing with l00% of the load suspended- there are minimal hazards of tipping or overturning. In comparison rubber tired truck cranes require outriggers for the maximum capacity and cannot move fore and aft (they can swing-on the turret- of course) while lifting. the Crawler crane does not have this handicap, but is on a solid steel footing. Accidents are rarer with this type.
