hi guys,
i am a building trades welder and not a rig welder, and was wondering the swing out thing behind welder on a lot of rigs is that for fabbing and rollouts? please give me a little info on setup of a rig truck.

I'm by no means a big "pipeliner" but put a hoosier pole on my truck. Been many times I've been working off the back and swung the pole and umbrella out and thought, dang, this is great! Have also taken several breaks for lunch under that umbrella.
