An outrigger for supporting an elongate electrical conductor at a distance outward from a support. The outrigger includes a first elongate limb a first support device at a distal end of the first limb for suspending therefrom a length portion of the elongate electrical conductor and a second elongate limb. The outrigger includes a first connector attached to, or integral with, the second limb for connecting the second limb to a length portion of an elongate element of the support so that the second limb is rotatable about an axis that is parallel to a longitudinal axis of the length portion of the elongate element, when the second limb is connected to the length portion of the elongate element of the support. The outrigger includes a second connector spaced apart from the first connector. The second connector pivotably connects the first limb to the second limb. The first limb is rotatable with respect to the second limb about a pivot axis of the second connector when the second limb is connected to the length portion of the elongate element of the support. The pivot axis is transverse to both the first limb and the second limb. The outrigger includes a restrictor which permits rotation of the first limb with respect to the second limb about the pivot axis, but prevents relative rotation of the first limb in one direction of rotation toward the second limb beyond a limit position.
