A boom system includes a base assembly and a boom assembly. The boom assembly includes a boom including a plurality of boom sections. The plurality of boom sections includes a lower boom section coupled to and extending away from the base assembly and defining a proximal end of the boom and an upper boom section defining a distal end of the boom. The boom assembly further includes an attachment coupler assembly coupled to a boom section other than the upper boom section and configured to receive a first implement. The boom assembly further includes an implement connector positioned at the distal end of the boom, the implement connector configured to receive a second implement.

A remote controlled luggage handler apparatus for loading and unloading luggage from tour buses includes a carrier body having a pair of drive tracks. A multi-axis arm has a base pivot unit coupled to a body top side, a proximal segment coupled to the base pivot unit, a distal segment, and a head pivot unit. A jaw comprises a jaw support coupled to the head pivot unit, a fixed mandible coupled to the jaw support, and a sliding mandible slidably coupled to the jaw support to secure a suitcase between the fixed mandible and the sliding mandible. A CPU, a first transceiver, and a battery are coupled within the carrier body. A remote control is in operational communication with the first transceiver to control the drive tracks and the arm. A charging port is configured to be installed within a storage bay of a tour bus to charge the battery.

Disclosed is a knuckle boom crane for offshore application, wherein the crane includes a knuckle boom, carried by a support structure and equipped with an operating unit. The knuckle boom includes a main boom and a terminal boom. The operating unit of the knuckle boom include at least one downstream linear actuator, arranged between the main boom and the terminal boom, for the rotational operation of the terminal boom about a downstream articulation axis. And the at least one downstream linear actuator is fastened to one of the lateral faces of the main boom and to one of the lateral faces of the terminal boom, in order to provide an improved lever arm between the main boom and the terminal boom.

A vehicle crane having a superstructure with a jib system including a main jib mounted in a luffable manner on the superstructure, with a jib head and a luffable additional jib and at least one luffing support supported in the region of a luffing axis of the additional jib. At least one guying support of the jib system is arranged in such a manner that a tensioner starting on the one hand from the superstructure and/or from a counterweight and connected on the other hand to the additional jib is guided via the at least one guying support and the at least one luffing support. A main jib extension is incorporated between the jib head and the additional jib with the at least one guying support supported at the main jib extension to obtain a longer design of the jib system with the highest possible permissible bearing load.

The invention relates to a telescopic boom comprising a coupling section, on the side of which at least two luffing-cylinder mounts are provided for fastening luffing cylinders to the telescopic boom. The bearing plates of the luffing-cylinder mount transition into a metal-plate box structure, the metal-plate box structure being composed of three partial luffing-cylinder boxes.

A mobile crane includes an undercarriage, a superstructure having a crane boom and a crane cable, and a plurality of support carriers for stabilizing the undercarriage in a correct operating state. In order to set-up the mobile crane, a support carrier is disposed in a disassembled state separately from the mobile crane in a waiting position. The support carrier is connected to the crane cable of the crane boom and is shifted between the waiting position and a receiving position which is disposed on the undercarriage. The support carrier is moved by the crane boom between the receiving position and a coupling position in a support box of the undercarriage in such a manner that the support carrier is guided in the support box at least in a substantially tension-free manner. A controller is configured to carry out the set-up method.

A crane includes a jib which is mounted on the crane structure so as to be rotatable about a bearing point, a counterweight arrangement which can be positioned variably in relation to the bearing point, and a hoisting cable which runs out from a hoisting winch and is guided via the jib. A counterweight adjustment device, which is coupled to the counterweight arrangement, includes a lever element mounted rotatably about a pivot point, a hoisting cable guide arranged in the course of the hoisting cable between the hoisting winch and an upper jib section, with a first deflecting pulley arrangement mounted on the jib and a second deflecting pulley arrangement mounted on the lever element, wherein the hoisting cable is guided in an alternating manner via the first and the second deflecting pulley arrangement, and a coupling element acting on the lever element and connected to the counterweight arrangement.

A crane for lifting and transporting loads includes a base frame for transferring the loads of the crane onto a support surface by a plurality of wheels. The wheels are capable of rotating relative to the base frame so as to change the camber angle of the wheels.
