Provided is an eco-friendly wind power generation apparatus that can perform power generation using wind by providing the blades of a wind power generator on a jib of a tower crane, and can perform wind power generation at the optimum altitude and in the optimum direction by automatically or manually performing the lifting or lowering and swing operation of a jib even when wind speed is insufficient because wind is not blowing, or perform wind power generation using artificial wind power generated by the operation of the jib, thereby generating a lot of electricity in necessary places and supply the electricity to all industrial sectors regardless of location and environment.

An operator seat is arranged in a cab. An air-conditioning unit is arranged in front of the operator seat. A lower window through which the outside can be seen from the inside of the cab is arranged in front of the operator seat and laterally to the air-conditioning unit.

The present invention relates to a crane with a height-adjustably mounted control or personnel stand that can be lifted and lowered by at least two lifting elements, wherein the two lifting elements are articulated to a balancing rocker that is mounted on a rocker bearing head connected to the control or personnel stand so as to be luffable about a horizontal pivot axis, wherein a monitoring and/or safety device is provided to monitor and/or ensure the safety of the control stand. According to the invention, the pivot axis is configured as a measurement axis for detecting the load state of the luffable bearing of the balancing rocker and for providing a load signal to the monitoring and/or safety device.

A control stand is disclosed for controlling a crane, an excavator, a crawler, or a similar construction machine having a seat, control elements actuable from the seat for inputting control commands, a display apparatus for displaying information, and a control unit for generating adjustment signals in dependence on input control commands and/or for providing information to the display apparatus. A crane is disclosed having such a control stand that can be configured in the form of a crane operator's cabin. The control elements and/or the display apparatus of the control stand and various further auxiliary units can be individually configurable. Personal pre-settings can be saved and can be reinvoked when the control stand or the crane is to be controlled by a certain machine operator.

A system and method for indicating to an operator a forward direction of travel of a machine having a ground-engaging traveling device, a superstructure rotatably mounted to the traveling device and an operator station defining an operator point of view are provided. The system includes a system controller, a rotation-sensing system connected to the system controller for determining a rotational relationship of the superstructure with respect to the traveling device, and a singaler mounted to the operator station and connected to the system controller for indicating to the operator the forward direction of travel of the machine in accordance with the operator point of view. The method includes receiving a rotational relationship of the superstructure with respect to the traveling device, and indicating to the operator the forward travel direction of the machine in accordance with the operator point of view.

An allocation method for allocating an available maximum power from at least one power supply source to electrical equipment of a crane, in which the electrical equipment are powered with the available maximum power, includes selecting between: a raw mode in which the available maximum power is allocated over predefined actuation equipment and on accessory equipment predefined among the electrical equipment, the actuation equipment being defined according to a configuration of the crane, and an optimized mode in which the available maximum power is allocated over the predefined actuation equipment, and also over the accessory equipment but according to the cut-off conditions of the accessory equipment, so that according to the cut-off conditions the actuation equipment are powered or not.
