An overload brake and method for trolley suspended on a flange of a load traveling apparatus girder prevents the displacement movement of a suspended load along a girder by clamping a brake between two symmetrical flange tabs of the girder. The girder is elastically deformed by the load which is applied to the girder by the contact between a surface of the girder and translation wheels that move the load along the girder. Upon sufficient elastic deformation, portions of the girder contact a brake to prevent movement of the load along the girder.

A trolley for a lifting device with lifting gear arranged on a support frame and wheels which are mounted on the support frame, via which the trolley can be moved on a support, and at least one first wheel of which is mounted on an axle. The axle can be driven together with the wheel by means of a drive motor. The trolley provides a reliable transmission of drive forces between the wheels and the rail with the drivable first wheel connected to at least one of the other wheels in a driving manner via a flexible drive such that the axle is arranged between the drive motor and the flexible drive and thus the flexible drive is connected downstream of the axle in a driving manner so that the flexible drive can be driven by the axle.

An article transport vehicle includes a travel body; a holding device that holds an article; and a lift device that is on the travel body, and that raises and lowers the holding device with respect to the travel body. The holding device includes: a connection portion connected to the lift device and an article support portion that supports the article; an elastic support mechanism that is between the article support portion and the connection portion, and that supports the article support portion against the connection portion while being elastic in a vertical direction, and a guide mechanism that guides the article support portion in the vertical direction with respect to the connection portion. The guide mechanism allows the article support portion to move parallel with the vertical direction with respect to the connection portion and restricts swinging of the article support portion with respect to the connection portion.

A gear-track-detachable driving device in a monorail crane for a steep slope includes a driving mechanism, a traveling mechanism, a four-bar linkage mechanism, a connection mechanism, a meshing track plate and transition track plates. The driving mechanism includes driving motors, meshing gears, a bearing rod, and a bearing plate. The traveling mechanism includes traveling wheels, clamping wheels, a shell and telescopic struts. The linkage mechanism includes first and second rockers, a linkage, and a cylinder. The connection mechanism includes fixation plates, a connection plate and connection bolts. When the crane travels to the slope front, the cylinder drives the linkage mechanism to send the meshing gears onto the transition track and adjusts the linkage mechanism into a dead point state, and the telescopic struts are locked. After the crane enters the slope, the meshing gears cooperate with the meshing track plate to provide an auxiliary drive for the crane.
