A crane may comprise a mast that includes a base end and a top end located opposite the base end, at least one support beam fixedly coupled to the mast adjacent the top end of the mast, a first runway beam fixedly coupled to the at least one support beam, and a second runway beam spaced from the first runway beam. In some embodiments, the first runway beam defines a first end and a second end, and the mast is located closer to the first end than the second end. The crane may also comprise a bridge movably coupled to the first runway beam and the second runway beam, a trolley movably coupled to the bridge, and a hoist coupled to the trolley. In some embodiments, the crane only comprises one mast.

WHEEL SYSTEM, IN PARTICULAR FOR A CRANE

The invention relates to a wheel system having a running wheel and a support body which at least partially surrounds the running wheel and in which the running wheel is mounted and from which the running wheel projects in order to come into contact with a rail. In order to allow predictive maintenance of the wheel system with a low inspection effort, it is proposed that a mechanical device for detecting and/or determining wear on the running wheel is mounted on the support body.
