A self-contained truck-mounted brick laying machine can include a frame that can support packs or pallets of bricks placed on a platform. A transfer robot can pick up and move the brick(s). A carousel can be coaxial with a tower. The carousel can transfer the brick(s) via the tower to an articulated and/or telescoping boom. The bricks can be moved along the boom by, e.g., linearly moving shuttles, to reach a brick laying and adhesive applying head. The brick laying and adhesive applying head can mount to an element of the stick, about an axis which is disposed horizontally. The poise of the brick laying and adhesive applying head about the axis can be adjusted and can be set in use so that the base of a clevis of the robotic arm mounts about a horizontal axis, and the tracker component is disposed uppermost on the brick laying and adhesive applying head. The brick laying and adhesive applying head can apply adhesive to the brick and can have a robot that lays the brick. Vision and laser scanning and tracking systems can be provided to allow the measurement of as-built slabs, bricks, the monitoring and adjustment of the process and the monitoring of safety zones. The first, or any course of bricks can have the bricks pre machined by the router module so that the top of the course is level once laid.

An apparatus includes a height-adjustable gantry assembly configured to be securely connected to a gantry load resting on a working surface. The height-adjustable gantry assembly, in use, lifts and supports the gantry load vertically above the working surface. A movable frame assembly is configured to move and support the height-adjustable gantry assembly.

A vehicle crane system includes a vehicle crane having a detachable attachment part, in particular a main jib, and an attachment part transporting unit which is designed to receive the attachment part when the latter is detached from the vehicle crane and comprises a mobile transporting device for transporting the attachment part. To remove and mount the attachment part of the vehicle crane and to transport it, the transporting device is equipped with at least one loading arm, the free supporting end of which is provided for at least indirect temporary coupling to an attachment part which is to be received or is already received. The loading arm is mounted pivotably on the transporting device such that an attachment part to be loaded or unloaded can be moved down onto the transporting device or from the transporting device.

A vehicle may be configured with an adjustable horizontal planar platform for receiving a load, such as a boom arm of a crane and transporting the load to a new location. In some cases, the platform is configured to swivel and tilt in order to maintain an alignment with a second vehicle during transport of a load.

A vehicle for carrying a camera crane has wheels or treads on a chassis. A battery pack assembly on the chassis, includes an AC to DC converter and plurality of batteries wired to a battery charger within a housing. The batteries collectively may have an output voltage of 30 to 36 VDC when fully charged. At least one input connector on the housing is wired to the AC to DC converter for charging the batteries. The battery pack assembly replaces and is used instead of a camera-equipment-generator.
