Systems and methods for a mobile crane are provided. In particular, systems and methods are provided for a mobile crane that is designed to enable easy transportation on a railcar to and from a job site. The mobile crane facilitates quick changing between a transport configuration and a work configuration to enable increased productivity. The mobile crane is configured to be modular and thereby be configured to include various lifting and object manipulating features, as required by a specific application.

The present disclosure provides a novel multi-purpose adjustable hanging beam and a hanging method. The novel multi-purpose adjustable hanging beam includes two parallel main beams, two ends of each main beam are respectively connected with end beams, a plurality of displacement hangers sliding relative to the main beams are arranged on the main beams, screw rods are arranged between the two main beams, the displacement hangers are in threaded connection with the screw rods, a first motor is arranged at one end of each screw rod, reduction gearboxes are arranged between the first motors and the screw rods, one end of each screw rod is connected with the corresponding reduction gearbox, and the first motors and the reduction gearboxes are mounted on the end beams.

A side lift spreader (20) for lifting an upper intermodal transport container (10) and a lower intermodal transport container (10) stacked on each other comprises a container locking arrangement (30) arranged at a first longitudinal end of the spreader, the container locking arrangement (30) comprising an upper male lock insert configured to be connected to a bottom corner casting of the upper container (10) and a lower male lock insert configured to be connected to a top corner casting of the lower container (10), wherein said container locking arrangement (30) comprises an indicator configured to provide an indication if an attempt is made to connect the lower male lock insert to the bottom corner casting of the upper container (10).

There is provided herein a lifting and inversion bar especially configured for repositioning cable spools which typically comprise fragile end stop annuli. The present cable spool lifting and inversion bar is configured for repositioning a cable spool comprising a length and radius between horizontal (that is wherein the axis of the cable spool is horizontal) and vertical (that is wherein the axis of the cable spools vertical) orientations. The inversion bar comprises a straight frame and an orthogonal shaft bisecting the frame into long and short ends. Furthermore, for the vertical orientation, the spool is able to freely rests atop the frame without additional support which negates the requirement for horizontal spacers as does the prior art. In this way, the spool may be conveniently lifted from the inversion by using a forklift, a convenient procedure not made possible by the prior art arrangements.

A system, method and apparatus for transferring bulk material for transport, the method includes placing a first quantity of bulk material in a soft-sided bulk material container, extending a first hold-in across the container from a first side of the container to a second location, the second location being substantially toward a second side of the container, wherein the first hold-in is secured to the first side of the container, securing the first hold-in to the second location and placing a second quantity of bulk material in the container, the second quantity covering the first hold-in and securing the first hold-in to the second location with a weight of the second quantity of bulk material.

A hanger with automatic triggering mechanism for lifting big-bags with multiple handles which includes a plurality of inverted hooks provided in the ends of the respective arms by a simple drive of the individual closing lever over the arms, thus achieving the closing of the bottom opening of the inverted hooks and holding the big-bag handles, and allowing to disengage the big-bag handles with a simple operation gesture of resting the hanger arms against the load, or shaking of the hanger, or pulling a manual lever, in that order of convenience, so that the automatic triggering mechanism triggers in an automatic way and then the retraction of the sliding latches is achieved thus releasing the handles.

Provided are weight distribution hoisting brackets and methods of using such brackets that offset a lifting position to an upper lifting mechanism off a center line of a heavy load to be lifted enabling sharing of the weight of a load to be lifted between at least two lifting mechanisms such as cranes such that lifting mechanisms may be employed that have a lower lifting weight capacity than the weight of the load.
