A lifting device on a heavy goods vehicle is described, for lifting and emptying waste collection containers, having a telescopically extensible boom, which has a coupling tool for coupling to a waste collection container. An extensible support is attached on a rotating platform and has at least one interleaved, telescopically extensible profile, wherein the boom is provided at the upper end of the support with a pivot element between boom and support, so that the boom is pivotable in a vertical plane about a pivot axis. The extensible profile is designed as an internal runner having a fixed tube and runners having a polygonal footprint, and a carrier head is provided at the end of the support, which is formed as L-shaped having an overhanging carrier plate in relation to the support, which carrier plate has the pivot axis of the boom and a support for the pivot element.

Vehicles are disclosed for the internal transport of heavy-load coils. The vehicle may include a drive unit and a loading device coupled thereto. The loading device may be configured to hold a plurality of heavy-load coils. An articulated steering system may be formed between the drive unit and the loading device. The vehicle may include separating elements connected to the loading device, which may be movable parallel to a vehicle longitudinal direction. The separating elements may be configured to secure heavy-load coils of different widths against tilting.

A mobile working machine comprising: a chassis (5); stabilizer legs (10) connected to the chassis; a hydraulic crane (20) carried by the chassis and comprising a crane boom (25) articulately connected to a rotatable column (22) and a lifting cylinder (26) for pivoting this crane boom; and an electronic control device configured to establish a maximum allowed working pressure for the lifting cylinder while taking into account the contribution to the stability of the mobile working machine against tipping from each stabilizer leg (10) that is in an active supporting position.

The electronic control device prevents a manoeuvring of a stabilizer leg away from the active supporting position if the working pressure of the lifting cylinder is higher than a threshold value corresponding to the value of the maximum allowed working pressure for the lifting cylinder that would ensue in case the stabilizer leg is made to leave the active supporting position.

A field-mountable winch assembly comprising a boom, boom mount, motor, drum, rollers for supporting a line, base, rotating drum and a clamp is disclosed. The field-mountable winch assembly may rotate a drum pulling a line over rollers raising a power line to be attached to a utility pole. The winch may be clamped to the crossbeam of the utility pole freeing a utility platform of the tools necessary to raise the power line.

The invention relates to a suspendable scale for weighing a bundle, comprising: a first part for suspending the scale from a structure; a second part for suspending an implement from the scale; a third part joining the first part and second part, the first part, second part, third part being at least partly radially nesting relative to one another; at least two strain gauges connected to the third part; a wireless transmitter for sending the measurement data to an operator; a self-powered power supply for feeding an electric current to the strain gauges and the wireless transmitter; a first space formed in the scale to integrate the wireless transmitter inside the scale; and a second space to integrate the power supply inside the scale. The invention also relates to an arrangement for hoisting a bundle.

A support system includes supporting legs, adjustable at least vertically in their longitudinal extent, to provide support on a substrate, a controller for controlling drives of the supporting legs using control commands, and an inclinometer for sensing an inclination of a carrier vehicle and/or of a lifting apparatus relative to at least one predetermined or predeterminable spatial direction and/or spatial plane. A method for supporting the carrier vehicle, parked on the substrate, for a lifting apparatus with a support system includes a calculation method step in which a sequence of control commands is calculated, and a levelling method step in which sequential and time-limited control of individual drives of the supporting legs takes place so as to minimize the inclination. The calculation method step and the levelling method step being repeated in a loop.

A tower for a material handler includes a housing surrounding an interior space. The tower has an interior mounting system including a base plate through which a plurality of interior mount openings pass. The interior mount openings are located at positions of the base plate that are interior of the housing. In some embodiments, the tower is part of a material handler that also includes two stabilizers located on opposite sides of the tower, a platform located above the tower, and a boom projecting away from the platform.

A crane arrangement includes a base, a pillar boom, a lifting boom, a folding boom, a lifting cylinder, and a folding cylinder. The lifting boom includes a first pivot point for connecting the pillar boom to the lifting boom, a second pivot point for connecting the lifting cylinder to the lifting boom, and a third pivot point for connecting the folding cylinder to the lifting boom. The lifting boom further includes a hollow cast connecting piece arranged at the first end of the lifting boom, in which connecting piece at least the first pivot point and second pivot point are arranged. The invention also relates to a corresponding work machine.

A crane includes a control interface to receive an operating instruction defining a target position, and a controller to determine movements of crane components and to generate driving instructions to be applied to a system of hydraulic actuators. The controller estimates a pressure level of a required working pressure of a hydraulic pump of each of the hydraulic actuators for the determined movements, and compares the estimated pressure levels and identifies the hydraulic actuators as a high pressure function, or as a low pressure function, based on the comparisons. The controller determines a time period during a movement from a current position to a target position, in which only the hydraulic actuators identified as a high pressure function or as a low pressure function is/are activated, and generates driving instructions for the hydraulic actuators to perform the determined movements, including activation of the determined hydraulic actuators during the time period.

A field-mountable winch assembly comprising a boom, boom mount, motor, drum, rollers for supporting a line, base, rotating drum and a clamp is disclosed. The field-mountable winch assembly may rotate a drum pulling a line over rollers raising a power line to be attached to a utility pole. The winch may be clamped to the crossbeam of the utility pole freeing a utility platform of the tools necessary to raise the power line.
