Hoists, platforms and davits are described as well as methods of securing same to telecommunication and other towers. The hoists, platforms and davits may be secured to the towers on a temporary basis using clamps. The clamps may include brackets and cables. The cables may be attached to the brackets, may wrap around the outer surface/perimeter of the tower pole/leg and may use tension to keep the bracket in place.

There is provided a crane that is assemblable and disassemblable and is capable of changing a monitoring range for periphery monitoring according to an assembly state of the crane.

The invention relates to a method of weathervaning a work machine in out-of-operation mode, in particular of weathervaning a revolving crane/revolving tower crane or a concrete spreader mast, wherein the work machine comprises at least one slewing part that is rotatable about a substantially vertical axis by means of a slewing gear, and wherein in a first step one or more wind data are measured by means of a measurement system arranged at the work machine; an optimum position of the slewing part is determined for an optimum weathervaning in dependence on the detected wind data; and the slewing gear drive is subsequently correspondingly actuated to bring the slewing part into the determined position

The present disclosure relates to engineering machinery and a dynamic anti-collision method, device, and system for operation space thereof. The dynamic anti-collision method for operation space includes: receiving obstacle information of an obstacle around a boom of engineering machinery and boom motion information of the engineering machinery; determining obstacle coordinates according to the obstacle information and the boom motion information; deciding whether the obstacle coordinates are located in a predetermined early warning area or not; and indicating an execution device to send out collision warning information in case where the obstacle coordinates are located in the predetermined early warning area.

A method for securing a luffing jib crane includes: acquiring a lifting/lowering setpoint; piloting a lifting motor by a converter that applies a motor command speed as a function of the setpoint; driving, in lifting or in lowering, the jib by a lifting cable under the action of the lifting motor; calculating, by a control/command system, a lifting/lowering theoretical angular speed from the motor command speed or from the setpoint; calculating, by the control/command system, a lifting/lowering actual angular speed from a jib angle measured by an angle sensor; comparing the actual angular speed and the theoretical angular speed; and commanding the stopping of the lifting motor according to the result of the comparison.
