A crane system, a crane, and a mobile unit capable of easily coping with a case where electrical equipment such as an obstacle light fails are to be provided. A crane system includes a crane body and a mobile unit movable around the crane body. The mobile unit includes an obstacle light and functions as an obstacle light for the crane body.

Provided is a port cargo handling device capable of reducing the carbon dioxide emissions at a container terminal and a method of controlling the same. A power generation mechanism 9 and an inverter 8 are connected by a cable 11 that carries DC electricity, and a storage battery 10 is connected to the cable 11. The power generation mechanism 9 is switched from a first power generation mechanism 9a to a second power generation mechanism 9b by disconnecting the first power generation mechanism 9a from the cable 11 and connecting the second power generation mechanism 9b to the cable 11, the first power generation mechanism 9a being mounted as the power generation mechanism 9 on the port cargo handling device, the second power generation mechanism 9b having a fuel different from that of the first power generation mechanism 9a.

A boom assembly for a lift device includes a plurality of telescoping boom sections. The plurality of telescoping boom sections include a base boom section, a mid boom section, and a fly boom section. The plurality of telescoping boom sections define an inner volume. The boom assembly also includes a push tube coupled to the base boom section and a support member positioned within the inner volume. The support member includes sidewalls having an inner surface and an outer surface. The boom assembly also includes a power track positioned within the inner volume that includes a plurality of movable links, a first supported portion that interfaces with at least one of the inner surface of the support member and a surface of the push tube, and a second supported portion that interfaces with the outer surface of the support member.

The shoe derailment device for use in derailing a conductor shoe assembly of a bridge crane from a conductor rail assembly generally has a wedge head provided at a longitudinal end of a body made of an electrically insulating material, the shoe derailment device being securable to the conductor rail assembly in a derailment position in which the shoe derailment device is positioned outside an operating zone of the bridge crane, with the wedge head facing the operating zone in a manner that if the conductor shoe assembly is moved outside the operating zone, into the area occupied by the shoe derailment device, the conductor shoe assembly is derailed from the conductor rail assembly as the conductor shoe assembly engages the wedge head and is maintained in a derailed state by the electrically insulating material when the conductor shoe assembly is engaged with the body.
