A utility pole setting trailer includes a horizontal frame configured to carry utility poles to remote locations, a set of wheels supporting the horizontal frame, a hydraulic boom coupled to the horizontal frame and configured to load and unload the utility poles on to the horizontal frame, and a motor coupled to the hydraulic boom and configured to power the hydraulic boom. The hydraulic boom includes a first arm and a second arm, and a grapple is coupled to a distal end of the second arm. The grapple is configured to grasp a respective utility pole. In addition, the horizontal frame includes a front portion and a rear portion that are configured to extend apart from each other to increase a length of the horizontal frame.

A crane arrangement includes a base, a pillar boom, a lifting boom, a folding boom, a lifting cylinder, and a folding cylinder. The lifting boom includes a first pivot point for connecting the pillar boom to the lifting boom, a second pivot point for connecting the lifting cylinder to the lifting boom, and a third pivot point for connecting the folding cylinder to the lifting boom. The lifting boom further includes a hollow cast connecting piece arranged at the first end of the lifting boom, in which connecting piece at least the first pivot point and second pivot point are arranged. The invention also relates to a corresponding work machine.

The invention relates to a device for load handling. The device comprises a folding handling arm (BP), equipped with a handling head (HH) and at least two successive arm parts (BP1, BP2), in which the arm parts (BP1, BP2) are connected to each other by a folding fastening (RA), the device further comprising a suspension structure (HS) to suspend said handling arm (BP) for the purpose of supporting it, the device further comprising a rotating structure (RS) to turn said handling arm by turning the suspension structure in relation to the support frame located at the upper part of the cargo space in the device. The suspension structure (HS) of the handling arm (BP) is essentially a rotationally symmetrical, rotation ring structure disc that is rotatable in relation to its support frame (SF) with said rotating structure (RS) in order to suspend the handling arm (BP) for the purpose of supporting it.

In one aspect of the present invention is provided an attachment device (100) for attachment of a trailing arm (54a) to a track support beam (22) intended to be connected, via said trailing arm (54a), to a center beam (30, 32) or other structural element situated between two track assemblies (21) of a tracked vehicle (10). The attachment device (100) is secured to the track support beam (22) and configured to attach the trailing arm (54a) to the track support beam (22) via an axis (X2) running above and substantially centrally along an upper side of the track support beam (22), in the longitudinal direction of the track support beam. In this way, a robust, structurally strong, suspension-admitting attachment device that is easy to manufacture and assemble is achieved. In another aspect of the invention is provided a tracked vehicle (10) comprising such an attachment device (100) and in a further aspect of the invention a method of manufacturing a track support beam (22) comprising such an attachment device (100).

A crane includes a control interface to receive an operating instruction defining a target position, and a controller to determine movements of crane components and to generate driving instructions to be applied to a system of hydraulic actuators. The controller estimates a pressure level of a required working pressure of a hydraulic pump of each of the hydraulic actuators for the determined movements, and compares the estimated pressure levels and identifies the hydraulic actuators as a high pressure function, or as a low pressure function, based on the comparisons. The controller determines a time period during a movement from a current position to a target position, in which only the hydraulic actuators identified as a high pressure function or as a low pressure function is/are activated, and generates driving instructions for the hydraulic actuators to perform the determined movements, including activation of the determined hydraulic actuators during the time period.

An improved electronically controlled portable testing system provides one or more self-contained, automated testing skids configured to perform required tests on the exhaust output of a stationary engine. The testing skids are configured for easy transportation on a medium duty truck and in a preferred testing process, are deployed to the engine site (and reloaded on the truck after testing is complete) using a lift attached to the truck. Using these systems and methods, a single technician can concurrently test multiple exhaust stacks on engines separated by any distance, from 100 feet to miles apart. The testing skids provide the technician with wireless remote test control and monitoring. The disclosed systems and methods increase the efficiency, accuracy and repeatability of tests.
