The invention relates to a crane having an undercarriage with a swivel connection and having a superstructure rotatably supported thereon via the swivel connection and comprising at least one boom system arranged at said superstructure and luffable about a luffing axis or a self-climbing tower slewing crane rotatably supported thereon via the swivel connection. In accordance with the invention, the undercarriage has a pot as a central component which, on the one hand, receives the swivel connection. Furthermore, however, the pivotable supports can also be pivotally connected to it. Side members are present at mutually oppositely disposed sides and at least one traveling gear can respectively connected to them with at least one degree of freedom.

A track hitching structure is for a wheeled crane and the wheeled crane, and includes a vehicle frame and a connecting cross beam. The first end of the connecting cross beam is connected with a track. The second end of the connecting cross beam is connected with the vehicle frame. The second end of the connecting cross beam is higher than the first end of the connecting cross beam. The vehicle frame is connected with the track by the connecting cross beam with one high end and one low end, so the long-distance force transfer from the track to the race of the vehicle frame can be handled, then the shortcomings of tedious structure, large size, large weight and the like of the connecting device caused by a horizontal connecting cross beam are avoided, and the reliability and the working performance of the entire crane are improved.

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.

Provided is a working machine including a device to be maintained and a winch disposed thereover and enabling a maintenance operation. The working machine includes a base machine, at least one device to be maintained installed at the base machine, and a winch which is driven to wind an operation rope. The winch is attached to the base machine to be pivotable, about a winch support shaft, between a use position at which the winch is used while closing at least a part of a maintenance space over the device to be maintained and a maintenance position at which the winch opens the maintenance space upward to enable the maintenance operation to be performed.

A crane for lifting and transporting loads includes a base frame, for transferring the loads of the crane onto a support surface by a plurality of wheels having two steering wheels; and a steering system. The steering system includes a linear steering actuator, which is hinged, on one side, to the base frame and, on the other side, to a bar having two ends. Each end of the bar is hinged to a respective rotary element around a respective hinging axis. Each rotary element rotates around a respective rotation axis and is constrained in rotation to the respective steering wheel to steer it.

An upper body includes a bearing seat surface that is fixed by a bearing bolt to the upper surface of a swing bearing, a swing frame that includes an intersecting side plate intersecting the bearing seat surface and is fixed to the bearing seat surface, and a force dispersing member. The force dispersing member includes at least one vertical plate extending in the up-down direction. The at least one vertical plate is fixed to a region of the bearing seat surface other than a force dispersion target region.
