The invention relates to a construction and/or material-handling machine, in particular a crane, comprising a movable functional element, in particular a functional element suspended in an oscillating manner, in particular in the form of a load receiving means, at least one drive device for moving the functional element, a detection device for detecting manual manipulation movements for moving the functional element, and a controller for actuating the drive device on the basis of the detected manipulation movement. The aforementioned detection device has an inertial measuring device, which is attached to the functional element and comprises an acceleration and rotational rate sensor means for providing acceleration and rotational rate signals, and a detection device for detecting the deflection of the functional element from the aforementioned acceleration and rotational rate signals of the inertial measuring device, and the aforementioned controller is de-signed to actuate the at least one drive device so as to compensate for the detected deflection.

Disclosed are systems, apparatuses, and methods for a load control system for use on or with respect to a main load bearing line, carrier hook, and or head block of a crane.

A lifting cabinet, comprises a cabinet body, wherein the cabinet body comprises a side plate in which at least two wire through-holes are configured, a trunking which is configured in the side plate for communicating with the two wire through-holes, and wires which are placed in the trunking and are respectively connected to electric parts in different spaces within the cabinet body through the two wire through-holes. The cabinet solves the problem of messy and unsightly appearance caused by unreasonable wire arrangement.

A powered handler for handling a workpiece, comprising: a body extending between a first and a second end; an input device adjacent the first end; a handling implement adjacent the second end, the handling implement operatively connected to the input device and operable to handle the workpiece; and a suspender having a proximate end mounted to the body at at least one pivot of the suspender defining a pitch axis of the powered handler, the body pivotable relative to the suspender about the pitch axis, the at least one pivot disposed between the input device and the handling implement and displaceable relative to the body to a balanced position located between a first and a second position closer to the second end than the first position, the suspender having a distal end spaced upwardly from the body for mounting the suspender to suspend the body from the suspender.

Described herein is a storage system for installation onto a surface, such as a horizontal or vertical wall, such as an interior garage ceiling, floor, or wall. The system can be used to move, lift, and/or store articles, such as bicycles, skis, storage containers, and the like. The system generally comprises a track defining a longitudinally extending path and a trolley assembly coupled to the track. The trolley assembly generally comprises a trolley body, a pair of opposing sidewalls extending from the trolley body, and a roller assembly positioned between the pair of opposing sidewalls. The trolley assembly may further comprise a carrier attachment to secure an article thereto. A drive member and drive unit can be used for effecting movement so as to shift the trolley assembly from one position to another. The system generally comprises simple and easy-to-install components, thereby providing advantages over prior storage systems.

A method for testing a rescue hoist that includes motor drive train. The motor drive train includes: a primary load brake, a secondary load brake and a cable drum comprising a cable. The method includes: reeling the cable out of the cable drum followed by reeling the cable in at a speed that is sufficient to disengage the primary load brake and verifying that the cable drum is rotating. When verified that the cable drum is rotating, the method further comprises the step of decreasing the motor torque output, before engaging the secondary brake. The method further comprises the step of verifying that said cable drum has stopped rotating, and if it is verified that the cable drum has stopped rotating, disengaging the secondary brake, restoring torque motor output and then reeling said cable is reeled into the homed position and the test is confirmed to have been passed.
