A cargo container crane includes a body, having a bottom and top, the body including at least one drive wheel and a turning wheel at the bottom, and a horizontal cantilever at the top, the cantilever and the top of the body including a turning device, a drive motor that drives the at least one drive wheel, a lift motor, a lifting rope, a lifting rope drive device, wherein the lifting rope runs through the turning device, with one end of the lifting rope connected to a hook and the other end of the lifting rope connected to the lifting rope drive device, and a control handle, having a first button that causes forward and backward movement of the cargo container crane, and a second button that causes raising and lowering of the hook.

The invention relates to a drive device for supplying power to multiple engine pumps (4, 5), provided in the superstructure (3) of a mobile crane for superstructure functions, by way of a drive motor (2) arranged in the undercarriage (1) of the mobile crane, comprising a hydraulic motor (7) which is arranged in the superstructure (3) and hydraulically driven by the drive motor (2) and which comprises a first mechanical output which couples at least one first engine pump (4) to the hydraulic motor (7) and a second mechanical output which couples at least one second engine pump (5) to the hydraulic motor (7). The invention also relates to a mobile crane comprising this drive device.

A power transmission control method and device for a crane and the crane includes setting the maximum working displacement of a secondary element corresponding to each gear of the crane; determining the current gear state and specific gear of the crane; determining the working mode of the secondary element from the gear state, and setting the maximum allowable displacement of the secondary element as the maximum working displacement corresponding to the specific gear. In the power transmission control method and device for the crane and the crane of the present invention, the maximum displacement of the secondary element is controlled for various gears, which can reduce power impact. A buffer mode is added to avoid influence on a vehicle due to loss of instant power generated at the moment of energy release completion and avoid vehicle jitter due to instable power resulting from the vehicle at low speed or a system suddenly disconnected.

A securement for crawler cranes and system and method for use of the same are disclosed. In one embodiment of the system, a pair of structural securements are spaced at approximately a track-distance apart with respect to the crawler crane and coupled together by multiple transverse support members. When the crawler crane is driven onto the structural securements and fastened thereto, the tipping fulcrum of the crawler crane is shifted, thereby requiring a greater tipping force to tip and adding stability during high wind events.

A work vehicle includes: an operation tool that is operated by an operator; and a controller that determines a target flow rate for hydraulic oil fed to a hydraulic device on a basis of the amount of operation of the operation tool. The controller calculates a bleed-off target flow rate on a basis of the flow rate of hydraulic oil fed from a hydraulic oil pump and the target flow rate for hydraulic oil fed to the hydraulic device, calculates a bleed-off throttle differential pressure on a basis of a pressure of hydraulic oil fed from the hydraulic oil pump and a pressure of hydraulic oil in a hydraulic oil tank, calculates a bleed-off target opening area on a basis of the bleed-off target flow rate and the bleed-off throttle differential pressure, and controls a hydraulic oil control valve such that the bleed-off target opening area is achieved.

A boom assembly includes a lower boom, an upper boom, and an actuator assembly. The lower boom has an upper end and a base end. The base end is configured to be pivotally coupled to a lift device. The upper boom has a lower end pivotally coupled to the upper end of the lower boom. The actuator assembly has (i) a first end coupled to at least one of the upper end of the lower boom and the lower end of the upper boom, and (ii) an opposing second end coupled to the upper boom. The actuator assembly includes a first actuator and a second actuator. The second actuator is rigidly joined to the first actuator at the first end of the actuator assembly and flexibly joined to the first actuator at the opposing second end of the actuator assembly.

A container trailer crane has an apparatus that includes a base, a crane arm, an outrigger, and a mechanical ram that is used in both positioning the outrigger and the crane arm.

A hydraulically actuatable jib for a loading crane includes at least two jib extensions, the first jib extension being designed as an outer jib extension and the second jib extension being designed as an inner jib extension. At least two feed cylinders extend and react the at least two jib extensions. A hydraulic circuit for a working fluid includes a retraction line for retracting the feed cylinders in a pressurized manner, and the retraction line opens into the feed cylinder of the outer jib extension. A tank is provided for releasing the working fluid, and a control valve can be switched into an open position when the outer jib extension reaches a defined retraction position, particularly when the outer jib extension is substantially fully retracted. The valve thereby supplies the feed cylinder of the inner jib extension with pressurized working fluid.

A marine knuckle boom crane includes a crane housing which is rotational relative to a pedestal about a vertical rotation axis and a knuckle boom assembly attached to the crane housing. The knuckle boom assembly includes a main boom, the inner end of which is connected pivotably about a first horizontal pivot axis to the crane housing; and a jib, the inner end of which is connected pivotably about a second horizontal pivot axis to the outer end of the main boom, wherein the jib is pivotable at least between an extended position in which the tip extends mainly forward from the main boom, and a folded position in which the jib is folded back, essentially parallel along the main boom. In order to position the jib with respect to the main boom, a tensioning member is provided extending between the crane housing and a curved extension guide connected to the jib.

A mobile crane has an undercarriage, a superstructure arranged on the undercarriage, a slewing gear by which the superstructure may be rotated relative to the undercarriage, a slewing gear brake that acts on the slewing gear to brake a rotation of the superstructure, and a jib mounted on the superstructure as to be adjustable in luffing angle and/or in length. The mobile crane additionally contains a dolly coupling arranged on the jib and by which the jib is coupled to a mobile crane dolly during dolly travel with the superstructure in an extended position. The mobile crane further has a sensor interface for connecting a dolly coupling sensor, and a controller that is adapted to ascertain during dolly travel, in dependence on a signal received from the dolly coupling sensor, whether the jib rests on the mobile crane doll, and to activate the slewing gear brake if it does not.
