A tooling making it possible to mount a module directly in an aircraft without making any modifications to the module. This tooling is made up of upper beams connected to the structure of the aircraft, lower beams secured to the module, lift elements connecting the lower beams to the upper beams and a drive system. The lift elements can move along the upper beams. The drive system makes it possible to convey the module to its functional location in the aircraft, by moving it along the upper beams via the lift elements. The principle of this tooling is to suspend the module in order to ensure and control its movement in the aircraft.

A level-controllable crawler crane includes two crawler supports with rotating crawlers, which crawler supports are connected by a transversal bridge. A superstructure of the crawler crane includes a crane jib pivotable about a vertical axis and connected to the transversal bridge. A pivotable articulation connects the transversal bridge to the crane superstructure. At least one of the crawler supports is connected to the transversal bridge by a double link having a lower and an upper link. The lower link is articulated on the crawler support by a crawler support lower pivotable axis and on the transversal bridge by a transversal bridge lower pivotable axis. The upper link is articulated on the crawler support by a crawler support upper pivotable axis and on the transversal bridge by a transversal bridge upper pivotable axis. A drive pivots the links about the pivotable axis associated therewith.

An arrangement of a gantry lifting device for handling containers, in particular ISO containers, having a sensor device for the navigation of the gantry lifting device and having a clearance profile which is formed such that the gantry lifting device can move across a container, and of a row of spaced-apart marking elements such that the gantry lifting device can be moved along the row of marking elements by means of raster navigation, where the row of marking elements can be read by the sensor device of the gantry lifting device. The sensor device, in an operating position, is arranged outside the clearance profile on the gantry lifting device so as, in the operating position, to read the row of marking elements for the navigation of the gantry lifting device, where the row of marking elements is arranged next to the clearance profile of the gantry lifting device.

A quay crane including auxiliary equipment, which is equipment other than main equipment for performing main operations of the quay crane. The auxiliary equipment includes: a main equipment cooling device for cooling the main equipment; a loading and unloading lighting device for lighting a loading and unloading operation range of the main equipment; a room cooling device for cooling a room; and a room lighting device for lighting the room. If an operating condition of the main equipment or a room condition satisfies a predetermined electric power reduction condition while the quay crane is in operation, the auxiliary equipment that is keeping the operating condition of the main equipment or the room condition is put into a power saving mode in which the auxiliary equipment consumes less electric power than in a normal operation.

The present invention relates to a crane, having a jib rotatable about an upright axis, at which jib a trolley is movably arranged, from which trolley a hoist rope connected to a load hook runs off, as well as a load hook position determining device for determining the position of the load hook. The load hook position may be determined optically by means of one camera only, which camera is mounted on the trolley of the crane and views from the trolley in a predetermined and thus known viewing direction downwards onto the load hook. In doing so, the position of the load hook in the camera image is determined by an image evaluator. To simplify detection of the load hook in the camera image, the image evaluator may include rope run determining means for determining the rope run of the hoist rope running off from the trolley.
