The present invention relates to a structural frame of a crane, lifting device, material handler or a similar machine, comprising at least one elongate structural-frame strut. The invention also relates to such a machine comprising such a structural frame. According to a first aspect, it is proposed not to weld or screw a separate doubled panel or separate retaining lugs to the structural-frame element as a reinforcement, but rather to provide the structural-frame strut with integrally formed, seam-free reinforcement layers in the required, highly loaded region, in order to achieve an organically produced increase in wall thickness and/or cross section in a smooth and harmonious manner. These reinforcement layers are produced using 3D printing.

An industrial machine includes a frame having a base and a boom, an arm movably coupled to the boom, an attachment, a conduit, a first member, and a second member. The boom has a first end coupled to the base and a second end opposite the first end. The arm includes a first end and a second end. The attachment is coupled to the first end of the arm. The conduit extends from the frame to the arm. The first member is pivotably coupled to the frame and supports a first portion of the conduit as the arm moves relative to the boom. The second member is pivotably coupled between the first member and the arm, and supports a second portion of the conduit as the arm moves relative to the boom.

In several aspects, a system and associated method may be used to estimate a load weight carried by an implement of a work vehicle. In doing so, the system and method may allow for the implement load weight to be estimated by taking into account operator-initiated control commands that may impact the accuracy or reliability of the estimated weight.
