This invention relates generally to a method for making a deck for use in construction. In one embodiment, the method includes, but is not limited to, positioning a first box tube substantially parallel to a second box tube; attaching a plate to the first box tube and the second box tube, the plate extending between the first box tube and the second box tube; coupling a hydraulic cylinder to the plate; slidably inserting a first extension member at least partially into the first box tube; slidably inserting a second extension member at least partially into the second box tube, the first and second extension members having a beam extending therebetween; coupling the hydraulic cylinder to the beam; positioning a platform having one or more wheels on the plate and over the hydraulic cylinder such that the platform is rollable relative to the plate; attaching the platform to the beam such that the platform is operable to retractably extend beyond an edge of a floor of a building in conjunction with the first and second extension members in response to actuation of the at least one hydraulic cylinder; and forming a rectangular cuboid basket comprised of six faces with a connecting mechanism on a top face.

The invention addresses the problem of providing a crane and a crane control method that can suppress load swaying when controlling an actuator on the basis of the load. The invention is provided with a turntable camera (7b) that detects the current position coordinates p(n) of a load W with respect to a reference position, wherein the invention: converts a target speed signal Vd to target position coordinates p(n+1) of the load W with respect to the reference position; calculates the current position coordinates q(n) of a boom (9) with respect to the reference position from a turning angle z(n), a hoisting angle x(n), and an extension/contraction length lb(n); calculates a feed amount 1 of the wire rope and the directional vector e(n) of the wire rope from the current position coordinates p(n) of the load W and the current position coordinates (n) of the boom (9); calculates the target position coordinates q(n+1) of the boom (9) with regards to the target position coordinates (n+1) of the load W from the feed amount 1 and the directional vector e(n) of the wire rope; and generates an actuator operation signal Md on the basis of the target position coordinates q(n+1) of the boom (9).

A confined-space davit, including a vertical, elongate mast provided by at least one annular tube; and, a boom that is pivotally connected to an upper end portion of the mast and that extends forwardly from the mast. The tube comprises a forward wall and an opposing rearward wall and comprises left and right opposing lateral sidewalls that each connect the forward wall to the rearward wall.

A mobile crane comprising a main boom, which is supported on the mobile crane in such a way that the main boom can be rocked and which can be put upright by means of an elevating cylinder, and a main boom extension, which is releasably connected to a main boom head of the main boom by upper and lower pins. The main boom extension, proceeding from a home position, can be angled in relation to the main boom about a rocking axis by means of an angle drive after the upper pins have been released, which angle drive acts on a base of the main boom extension, where a drive of the mobile crane provided for a different task provides the kinetic energy for the angle drive. The angle drive is designed in such that a telescoping cylinder of the main boom provides the kinetic energy for the angle drive.

A mobile crane having a tiltably mounted main jib which can be erected by a tilting cylinder, and having a main jib extension releasably connected to a main jib head of the main jib by upper and lower bolts. Starting from a normal position, after release of the upper bolts, the main jib extension can be angled about a tilting axis relative to the main jib by an angling drive that engages on a foot of the main jib extension, and a drive that is provided for another purpose supplies the kinetic energy for the angling drive. The angling drive includes a lever element having two lever arms, pivotably mounted on the upper chord of the main jib extension, with the first lever arm being connected to a lifting cable of the lifting gear for operation of the angling drive and engaging the main jib head by the second lever arm.
