Do you plan on taking your arm past the point shown in your 3rd view?
Also, I hope you are using the wide configuration when you do this - meaning the dimension of the chassis from wheel to wheel shown in this picture should be your widest allowable limit.
Tipping is always possible and will happen even when manipulating something as lightweight as a tube.

Also, to get maximum arm height you can start your purple arm piece more in the configuration of the second view but still inside the invisible limit box of the starting position. Just a thought.
