An upper turning body mounted on a lower body for a crane includes a turning frame mounted on the lower body to turn freely, and a boom provided to the turning frame to be raised and lowered freely. The turning frame includes a pair of attachment brackets to which a base end section of the boom is attached such that the boom is free to be raised and lowered, and a frame body to which the pair of attachment brackets are provided with an interval in a left-right direction of the upper turning body. The frame body is formed of a plurality of divided frames arranged side by side in the left-right direction of the upper turning body, adjacent divided frames of the plurality of divided frames being separably joined to each other.

The present invention relates to a control stand for controlling a crane, an excavator, a crawler, or a similar construction machine having a seat, a plurality of control element actuable from the seat for inputting control commands, at least one 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. The invention further relates to a crane having such a control stand that can in particular be configured in the form of a crane operator's cabin. It is proposed in accordance with a first aspect of the invention to configure the control elements and/or the display apparatus of the control stand and various further auxiliary units as individually configurable and to save and to reinvoke personal pre-settings when the control stand or the crane is to be controlled by a certain machine operator. The control stand comprises surrounding, large-area display interfaces and control interfaces and further comfortable input means to be able to carry out and adapt the configurations simply.

An operator cabin may include a frame; a seat assembly supported by the frame; and one or more operator controls to control one or more components of a pipelayer machine, the operator controls being supported by the frame. The frame includes a front surface; a rear surface opposite the front surface; a first lateral surface; and a second lateral surface opposite the first lateral surface. The front surface may comprise a first front support structure and a second front support structure opposite the first front support structure. The rear surface may comprise a first rear support structure and a second rear support structure opposite the first rear support structure. A first distance between the first rear support structure and the second rear support structure may exceed a second distance between the first front support structure and the second front support structure.

The vibration of a cab deck as well as the mass of a deck supporting member is suppressed. A slewing frame 10 of an upper slewing body 1 includes a front plate 17 connected to a second side plate 15B. A cab deck 30 is disposed on a front side X1 of an engine deck 20 with a gap S between the cab deck 30 and the engine deck 20. A deck supporting member 40 is connected to the second side plate 15B and the cab deck 30. When viewed along an up-and-down direction Z, a connection portion of the front plate 17 to be connected to the second side plate 15B is opposed to, in the lateral direction Y via the second side plate 15B, a connection portion of the deck supporting member 40 to be connected to the second side plate 15B.
