Especially not with the tiny outriggers the first truck had. I'd avoid
all but the lightest side lifts with outriggers like that.

It looks like the first trouck *could* have done the job if the operator
had a little more sense. It seems like the boom had enough capacity,
other wise an overload check should have stopped it from lifting. I
think if the truck had been backed up so the rear tires were a few feet
from the edge and the heavy front of the truck was oposite the lift it
would have worked. Probably need a couple ropes to the car being lifted
to keep it parallel to the wall.

Lifting sideways is not good when you're near capacity.
