In a work vehicle (crane 1) which is provided with: a traveling body (2); a boom (7) supported by the traveling body (2); and a camera (61) supported by the boom (7), and which can guide a pivot operation of the boom (7) by means of a remote control terminal (70), an image display device (73) is provided in the remote control terminal (70) and a control device (20) is provided which is capable of recognizing the support direction of the camera (61) by the boom (7) and an angle of a location direction of the remote control terminal (70) with respect to the camera (61), whereby an image rotated on the basis of the angle () and cut in a circular shape is displayed on the image display device (73).

There is provided a crane including: a telescopic boom having an inner boom element and an outer boom element; a telescoping actuator that displaces the inner boom element or the outer boom element in the telescoping direction; a first coupling member that releasably couples the telescoping actuator to one of the boom elements; a second coupling member that releasably couples the pair of boom elements to each other; an electric drive source provided at the telescoping actuator; a first coupling mechanism that displaces the first coupling member or the second coupling member on the basis of motive power of the electric drive source, thereby switching a coupled state and a non-coupled state of the members that are releasably coupled by one of the coupling members; and a position information detection device that detects information relating to the position of one of the coupling members on the basis of output from the electric drive source.

The invention addresses the problem of providing a crane and a crane control method that can suppress load swaying when controlling an actuator on the basis of the load. The invention is provided with a turntable camera (7b) that detects the current position coordinates p(n) of a load W with respect to a reference position, wherein the invention: converts a target speed signal Vd to target position coordinates p(n+1) of the load W with respect to the reference position; calculates the current position coordinates q(n) of a boom (9) with respect to the reference position from a turning angle z(n), a hoisting angle x(n), and an extension/contraction length lb(n); calculates a feed amount 1 of the wire rope and the directional vector e(n) of the wire rope from the current position coordinates p(n) of the load W and the current position coordinates (n) of the boom (9); calculates the target position coordinates q(n+1) of the boom (9) with regards to the target position coordinates (n+1) of the load W from the feed amount 1 and the directional vector e(n) of the wire rope; and generates an actuator operation signal Md on the basis of the target position coordinates q(n+1) of the boom (9).

A lifter assembly includes a base having a top and a bottom surface. Connectors are attached to the base extending outwardly from the bottom surface. Each of the connectors includes at least one rail wheel rotatably attached thereto. The base includes traveling wheels rotatably attached thereto. A post is attached to the base extending outwardly from the top surface to a distal end. An arm is disposed on the distal end, rotatably attached to the post, extending outwardly to a terminal end. A support is movably attached to the arm and extends outwardly to a support end. A trolley is slidably disposed on the arm and movable along the arm between the terminal end and the post. Each of the traveling wheels includes a leg pivotably attached to the base connecting the traveling wheel to the base and move the traveling wheel between a transport and a storage position.

This overload preventing device is mounted on a mobile work machine, and is provided with: a storage unit which stores lifting performance data in which lifting performance is configured for each operation state, and performance region data in which switching angles are configured that define performance regions, including a front region, a back region, and a side region; and a work machine control unit which controls operation of the mobile work machine on the basis of the actual load and the lifting performance corresponding to the present operation state of the mobile work machine. The lifting performance includes a maximum deployment width performance configured for the front region and the back region, and the switching angles are configured for each operation state on the basis of stability calculations and strength factors such as jack strength.

A crane boom system includes a liftable and lowerable crane boom which is articulately connected to and movable in relation to the column by a second actuator. A support arrangement includes a stabilizer beam and two stabilizer legs, wherein the two stabilizer legs are arranged to be extended from the stabilizer beam and set to ground during operation of the crane boom system to support the stability of the vehicle and crane assembly. A battery arrangement includes a battery cell, and a battery circuitry unit provided with an electrical power take off, and a battery mounting assembly structured to fixedly mount the battery arrangement to the stabilizer beam. The battery arrangement is configured to electrically operate the first actuator and the second actuator via the electrical power take-off.

The present invention addresses the problem of providing a crane that can ascertain the state of an area surrounding a hook or a cargo suspended on the hook and that can simultaneously ascertain a braking distance during stopping operations. The invention comprises: drive devices 31-34 that move a boom 7; a control apparatus 20 that controls the operation state of the drive devices 31-34; a camera 41 that photographs, from the distal end portion of the boom 7, an area below said portion; and image display devices 43 and 65 that display the image photographed by the camera 41. For the purpose of stopping the movement of the boom 7, the control apparatus 20 filters basic control signals S for the drive devices 31-34 to create filtered control signals Sf, controls the drive devices 31-34 on the basis of the filtered control signals Sf, estimates the braking distance for the boom 7, and displays the same on the image display devices 43 and 65.

A device executes an actuation control process of causing the actuator to execute actuation corresponding to an operation signal in response to an output of the operation signal, a stopping process of stopping the actuation of the actuator in response to an output of a first over-winding signal or a second over-winding signal during the actuation control process, and a notification process of notifying whether or not the identification signal has already been output from an over-winding sensor in response to the first output of the operation signal corresponding to specific actuation of reducing a suspension length.

A lift crane includes a carbody and movable ground engaging members mounted on the carbody. A rotating bed is rotatably connected to the carbody and includes a counterweight support frame including a rack coupled directly to a lower surface of the rotating bed.
