Described herein is a lifting beam system and method for using the same. The lifting beam system includes an elongate platform, a block, and a first and second cable for suspending the elongate platform from the block. The block for connecting the lifting beam system to a lifting device. The length of the second cable extending between the elongate platform and the block being adjustable by a winch. By adjusting the length of the second cable, the elongate platform may be leveled after a load is applied to one end of the elongate platform.

The present invention relates to a tower crane, in particular a revolving tower crane, comprising a crane tower composed of a plurality of tower pieces, a main boom arranged at the tower tip, and a counter-boom, wherein at least one main hoist rope is guided over the main boom to take up the load and at least one counter-boom hoist rope is guided over the counter-boom to take up a balance weight.

The present invention relates to a lifting assembly (1) for elevating components to a wind turbine (5). The lifting assembly comprises a plurality of tower segments (13) which together form an elongated tower (9), a support frame (11) for supporting the tower (9), a securing assembly (32) securing the tower (9) to the wind turbine (5). The lifting assembly (1) further comprises an upper platform (7) provided with and a crane (21) and vertically movable along the tower (9), and a lower platform (8) provided with a storage area (16) for supporting components and vertically movable along the tower (9) between the upper platform (7) and the support frame (11). The crane is adapted to move components to and from the storage area (16) of the lower platform (8).

A gantry system has at least one crane assembly, at least one support post, and at least one hoist. The crane assembly has a stationary base, a rotating base, and a crane arm. The rotating base is attached to both the stationary base and the crane arm in such a ways as to allow the rotating base and the crane arm to rotate while the stationary base remains stationary. The crane arm is supported on its far end by a support post. The crane assembly is configured such that the support post rests on an in-place girder. A hoist is attached and can move along the crane arm to position a railway component, such as a replacement girder and/or a precast panel.

The invention relates to a mobile crane having at least one ballast receiver that is vertically adjustable via one or more ballast cylinders and having a coupling for connecting the ballast cylinder or cylinders to the energy supply of the crane, wherein the energy supply can be releasably connected to the at least one ballast cylinder via at least one coupling part.

A rotary tower crane with a tower, which carries a jib and a counterjib, with a jib stay being guided from a tower top to the jib and to the counterjib. The jib stay tensions only an inner jib portion, the length of which is less than 40% of the total length of the jib, and an outer portion, the length of which is more than 60% of the total length of the jib, forms an untensioned bending beam jib which includes at least one jib piece which tapers in height and which is adjoined on the inner side by at least one jib part of greater height and on the outer side by a jib piece of smaller height.
