A connecting device connects a first attachment and a second attachment constituting a working machine with each other. The connecting device includes a first connected member, a second connected member, and a connecting member (connecting pin 15). The first connected member extends outward from a first side surface of the first attachment, the first side surface extending in a longitudinal direction of the first attachment. The second connected member extends outward from a second side surface of the second attachment, the second side surface extending in a longitudinal direction of the second attachment, the second connected member facing the first connected member when the first attachment and the second attachment come into a connection state. The connecting member connects the first connected member and the second connected member with each other.

The present disclosure relates to a method for the control and/or the data acquisition of a crane, wherein at least one measuring device at the crane supplies one or more measured values for determining the position of at least one load lifting device, in particular a crane hook, wherein a calculation of the position of the load lifting device is effected on the basis of the one or more measured values of at least one measuring device and one or more data characterizing the stiffness of the crane. The present disclosure also relates to a crane controller and a crane for carrying out the method according to the present disclosure.

Disclosed is a base assembly for supporting a crane pedestal. The base assembly comprises four base units, each having a first end and a second end, and each base unit being of an L-shape with an outside beveled corner. Fastening devices connect each base unit at their first and second end to respective first and second ends of another of the four base units. The four base units are dimensioned so that, when connected by said fastening devices, they form an octagonal-shaped base structure. The four base units are also dimensioned to support four pads that each rest on a face of 14 each unit adjacent to its beveled corner when the four base units are assembled in the octagonal-shaped base structure. Also disclosed is a method for assembling a base assembly for supporting a crane pedestal and a fastening device for connecting the ends of two units together.

This invention relates generally to a method for making a deck for use in construction. In one embodiment, the method includes, but is not limited to, positioning a first box tube substantially parallel to a second box tube; attaching a plate to the first box tube and the second box tube, the plate extending between the first box tube and the second box tube; coupling a hydraulic cylinder to the plate; slidably inserting a first extension member at least partially into the first box tube; slidably inserting a second extension member at least partially into the second box tube, the first and second extension members having a beam extending therebetween; coupling the hydraulic cylinder to the beam; positioning a platform having one or more wheels on the plate and over the hydraulic cylinder such that the platform is rollable relative to the plate; and attaching the platform to the beam such that the platform is operable to retractably extend beyond an edge of a floor of a building in conjunction with the first and second extension members in response to actuation of the at least one hydraulic cylinder.

The present disclosure concerns a crane, in particular a tower crane, with a jib from which a load hook can be raised and lowered via a hoisting cable, and with an electric power supply to the load hook and/or to a trolley that may be movable along the crane jib. According to the disclosure, the electric power supply to the load hook and/or to the trolley is at least partly conducted by a running cable which transmits tractive forces for the crane operation.
