Vessel and crane for offshore operations involving energy consuming equipment or tools
Providing energy to an energy consuming piece of equipment and/or tool during offshore operations. Use is made of a crane including a substructure, a boom mounted on the substructure, one or more hoist winches and cables, as well as an object suspension device suspended from the boom by the cables. A piece of equipment or tool is suspended from the object suspension device. An energy storage unit is provided on the object suspension device and has an input connector. The boom may be provided with an output connector of an energy charging unit and in a lower supply position of the object suspension device it is disconnected from the input connector of the energy storage unit. The piece of equipment or tool is then run on energy supplied by the energy storage unit. Moving the object suspension device to a charging position thereof by employing the hoist assembly of the crane brings the input connector of the energy storage unit in close proximity of the output connector of the energy charging unit which are then interconnected to charge the energy storage unit from a separate energy source.

HANDLING DEVICE AND METHOD FOR GRIPPING AND INSERTING A PILE TUBE INTO A BOREHOLE
The invention relates to a handling device for gripping and inserting a pile tube into a borehole in the ground to form a foundation pile, comprising a base frame, a gripping device for gripping and holding the pile tube, and a holding element for releasably connecting the base frame to a hoist, in particular a suspension rope. According to the invention, it is provided that at least one inlet device for supplying a curable medium is arranged on the base frame in an upper region and at least one outlet device for the curable medium to the pile tube is arranged in a lower region.
Crane and device for controlling same
The invention relates to a crane, in particular a rotary tower crane (1), comprising a crane boom (3), from which runs a hoisting cable (6) connected to the load hook (7), as well as comprising a load hook positioning device (8) for determining the load hook position, wherein the load hook positioning device (8) has at least three electromagnetic radio modules (9) exchanging radio signals with one another, of which at least one radio module is attached to the load hook and at least two further radio modules are attached to the crane structure and/or in the environment of the crane in a spaced apart manner, as well as an electronic evaluation device for evaluating the radio signals and determining the position of the load hook from the radio signals.
PIPE LAYER ATTACHMENT FOR AN EXCAVATOR
A pipe layer attachment for an excavator includes a winch configured to wind and unwind a cable having a hook attached thereto. The pipe layer attachment also includes a pipe layer boom configured to mount onto a boom of the excavator as a cantilever with the pipe layer boom extending beyond an end of the boom. The pipe layer boom is configured to be connected to an arm attachment pin connection of the boom and an arm cylinder pin connection of the boom.
Spreader for lifting intermodal container
A spreader for lifting an intermodal transport container includes a main beam extending in a longitudinal direction, the main beam formed of a first, upper C-beam of a relatively thicker material thickness and a second, lower C-beam of a relatively thinner material thickness; and an indicator configured to provide an indication if a distance in a transversal direction between a pair of twist-locks is set in a wide-body position when lowered onto respective lifting castings provided with top openings separated by a transversal distance corresponding to a standard position.
