Embodiments of the present invention are generally directed to davits for raising, lowering, and transporting loads. In general, davits described herein are portable and are capable of attaching to various mounting locations. The portable davit 100 includes a base mount 102 and an intermediate mount 104 for mounting the portable davit 100 to a mounting location. The base mount 102 and the intermediate mount 104 are couplable to a mast 106 for supporting the portable davit 100 when generally carrying a load L. The portable davit 100 also includes a jib 108 hingedly coupled to the mast 106 through a coupling 118. The jib 108 is configured to rotate about the coupling 118 such that the jib 108 is positionable at a lifting angle 120.

The present invention relates to a crane, in particular in the form of a revolving tower crane, having a jib (3) and a counter-jib (4), which are articulated on a jib articulation piece (8), wherein the jib (3) comprises an outer jib part (3a), which is articulated on an inner jib part (3i) in a hinged manner and is held by a guy (10). According to the invention, the inner jib part (3i) is in the form of a cantilever, which is fastened to the jib articulation piece (8) in a flexurally rigid manner and held, wherein the outer jib part (3a) is articulated on the cantilever in a hinged manner and is held by the guy (10).

A crane extension and installation device includes an extension device, a winch, a pulley and a cable. A main arm includes a vertical slide rail, the main arm is inclined relative to vertical, and three second pulleys at different heights of the slide rail are installed in the vertical direction of the slide rail, and the second pulley can slide vertically along the slide rail and can be fixed at a certain position of the slide rail. The extension device includes a number of cantilever beams connected end to end. The front end of the extension device is a cantilever beam, and a fixed pulley is installed on the lower peripheral surface of the extension device. The end face of the cantilever beam is equipped with a vertical lower arm through a joint, and the bottom end of the lower arm has a first pulley fixed by the joint.

The present disclosure generally relates to jack-up units employing a multi-purpose derrick structure for drilling, plug, abandonment, and decommissioning operations. The multi-purpose derrick structure includes a mast that may be vertically oriented in a first configuration to facilitate drilling, plug, and abandonment procedures, or may be pivotably positioned in a second configuration for decommissioning operations or other procedures. In the pivoting position, the mast functions as a heavy lift crane. One or more selective pivoting structures at the base of the multi-purpose derrick structure, and one or more actuators, facilitate the multiple uses of the multi-purpose derrick structure.

The disclosure relates to a crane comprising an undercarriage, a uppercarriage mounted rotatably on the undercarriage, a boom connected to the uppercarriage, a derrick boom connected to the uppercarriage, via which the boom is braced, a guide connected to the uppercarriage, and a derrick ballast comprising at least two ballast elements that can be stacked on top of one another and a cross member, which is connected to the derrick boom via a ballast bracing and to the uppercarriage via the guide. The cross member can be connected to a stack of ballast elements via a retaining element comprising first connecting means for releasably connecting the retaining element to second connecting means of the ballast elements of the stack. The retaining element can be connected to a partial stack of ballast elements of the stack by moving the retaining element and/or the cross member relative to the uncoupled stack.
