Disclosed are an integral lifting system and lifting method for assembled members. The integral lifting system includes fixing mechanisms and more than four vertical stand columns. The four vertical stand columns are located at four corners of a building, the building is located in a region encircled by the vertical stand columns, a transverse rail beam is disposed between every two vertical stand columns, one end of the transverse rail beam is mounted at the top of one vertical stand column, and the other end is mounted on the top of the other stand column. The transverse rail beam is provided with an operation trolley, a jib crane is disposed on an upper surface of the operation trolley, and a lifting mechanical arm is disposed on an outer side surface of the operation trolley. A hydraulic jacking mechanism is disposed at the bottoms of the vertical stand columns.

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 boom extension device for a dockside container crane. A boom comprises a rear boom section (11) and a front boom section (12). The extension device comprises: an extension trolley tool (2) which is disposed below the rear boom section (11) and the front boom section (12) during an extension operation, and which comprises a wheel set (21), a trolley frame (22), a construction platform (23), and a movement track (24) disposed on the construction platform; a fits support frame trolley (31) disposed on the movement track (24) and used to carry a boom extension section (41) and guide the boom extension section (41) to move in a first direction; and a second support frame trolley (32) disposed on the movement track (24) and used to carry the front boom section (12) and guide the front boom section (12) to move in a second direction perpendicular to the first direction in a first plane. Further included is an extension method for a boom of a dockside container crane. The invention reduces usage of heavy-duty equipment.

A service vehicle moves on a rail system including a first set of parallel rails arranged in a horizontal plane and extending in a first direction and a second set of parallel rails arranged in the horizontal plane and extending in a second direction which is orthogonal to the first direction. The first and second sets of rails form a grid pattern in the horizontal plane including a plurality of adjacent grid cells. The service vehicle includes a container handling vehicle part for storing a container handling vehicle operating on the rail system, and wheels for allowing movement of the service vehicle along the rail system during operation. The service vehicle further includes a displacement mechanism, and a hoist arrangement connected to the displacement mechanism. The displacement mechanism and the hoist arrangement are configured for moving the container handling vehicle between an operational position on the rail system and a loaded position within the container handling vehicle part.

There is provided a transport control system assigning multiple jobs to an overhead hoist transport (OHT) based on the availability of linkage transporting and the likelihood of transport congestion. The transport control system includes: a plurality of transports, each of the plurality of transports transporting a carrier with a wafer loaded thereon; and a transport control apparatus controlling the plurality of transports and determining one of the plurality of transports as a target transport to which multiple jobs are to be assigned. The transport control apparatus determines one of the plurality of transports as the target transport based on a first element, which is the availability of linkage transporting, and a second element, which is the likelihood of transport congestion.

The hoist track adapter is configured for use with a hoist. The hoist track adapter is configured for use with an I-beam. The hoist track adapter attaches the hoist to the I-beam. The hoist track adapter enables the hoist to move along the track formed by the I-beam while the hoist is under load. The hoist track adapter comprises a cross beam, a plurality of beam trolleys, a plurality of brackets, and a plurality of bolts and nuts. The plurality of bolts and nuts: 1) attach the plurality of beam trolleys to the cross beam; and, 2) attach the plurality of brackets to the cross beam. The plurality of beam trolleys attaches the cross beam to the I-beam. The plurality of brackets attaches the cross beam to the hoist.

A cylinder is included that has a plurality of tracks integrated into the cylinder. A drive unit is integrated into the cylinder and the drive unit has a pair of drive wheels that each engages the crane track. The drive unit rotates each of the drive wheels in a first direction or a second direction. A carriage extends around the cylinder and a plurality of rollers is each rotatably coupled to the carriage. Each of the rollers engages a respective one of the tracks on the cylinder thereby facilitating the carriage to travel along the cylinder. A transport unit is integrated into the carriage and the transport unit engages the cylinder. The transport unit is actuatable to urge the carriage to travel along the cylinder in either a primary direction or a secondary direction.
