A method for controlling a hydropneumatic suspension of a mobile crane having at least four wheels that are each allocated a spring cylinder, having at least four spring circuits in which at least one spring cylinder is incorporated in each case, each spring circuit being allocated a pressure measurement sensor and a path measurement sensor, in which signals of the pressure measurement sensors and of the path measurement sensors are processed by a control unit, and the spring cylinders are actuated. To optimize control of a hydropneumatic suspension for road travel operation of the mobile crane the mobile crane is levelled using preset suspension height set values of the spring circuits, then, in the control unit, on the basis of pressures detected by pressure sensors, pressure set values are calculated per spring circuit and pressures in the spring circuits are readjusted with the aid of pressure set values.

A mobile gantry for transporting heavy loads includes first, second, and third booms which are supported on the ground by respective wheel sets. The booms are spaced from one another so to present a generally triangular configuration when viewed from above. First, second, and third lift legs telescope to extend and retract the booms, and the lift legs are interconnected to one another and can raise and lower a load. The load can be maintained level by individually adjusting the length of each boom by extending and retracting the lift legs. A pivot axle, attached to each one of the wheel sets, allows each of the wheel sets to pivot about an axis that is at least generally parallel to the ground, thus maintaining a uniform load while the mobile gantry encounters changes in slope or other surface irregularities.

Motorized carriage (1) that is able to move in translation along a longitudinal axis (X) along a horizontal rail, said carriage (1) comprising at least one wheel (4), in particular of the friction wheel type, that is driven in rotation by an electric motor (5) and is mounted so as to pivot about a transverse axis (Y) on a holder (3) which carries said motor (5), said carriage (1) comprising a chassis (2) incorporating guide means (23, 24) mounted so as to slide on the chassis (2) along a vertical axis (Z) orthogonal to the longitudinal axis (X) and transverse axis (Y) and cooperating with elastic stressing means (25, 26) that are designed to move the guide means (23, 24) in the direction of the rail, where the holder (3) is in sliding contact with said guide means (23, 24) along the longitudinal axis (X) and vertical axis (Z), this sliding contact being designed to convert a movement of the holder (3) along the longitudinal axis (X) into a concurrent movement of the holder (3) along the vertical axis (Z) in the direction of the rail. Said carriage (1) can be used in video surveillance systems.

Provided is a crane which can suppress deformation and vibration of a crane structure in travel and stop of the crane. Inverters are installed respectively in travel devices which are arranged on the opposite sides with a gap in a transverse direction. Each of the inverters independently measures a torque generated in a motors to which the inverter is connected and reduces the rotation speed in the command from a controller to the motor such that the greater the measured torque is, the greater a ratio of reduction is.
