Provided is an outrigger pad hoist apparatus that raises and lowers outrigger pads on a mobile crane. The outrigger pad hoist apparatus includes a frame having two arms that form an angle such that frame conforms and may be coupled to a rear end of an elevated deck of a mobile crane system. The outrigger pad hoist apparatus includes a winch mechanism, a chain, and an outrigger pad holder coupled to the chain. The outrigger pad holder moves along the frame via movement of the chain by the winch mechanism. Outrigger pads may be placed on the outrigger pad holder. The outrigger pads may be moved to a lower position for easier removal by operating the winch mechanism. Mobile cranes having the outrigger pad hoist and methods of operation and manufacture are also provided.

The invention relates to a drive device for supplying power to multiple engine pumps (4, 5), provided in the superstructure (3) of a mobile crane for superstructure functions, by way of a drive motor (2) arranged in the undercarriage (1) of the mobile crane, comprising a hydraulic motor (7) which is arranged in the superstructure (3) and hydraulically driven by the drive motor (2) and which comprises a first mechanical output which couples at least one first engine pump (4) to the hydraulic motor (7) and a second mechanical output which couples at least one second engine pump (5) to the hydraulic motor (7). The invention also relates to a mobile crane comprising this drive device.

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.

Methods and apparatus to power a crane on a work truck using an engine-powered service pack are disclosed. An example auxiliary power system for a vehicle includes an engine, a generator configured to convert mechanical energy from the engine to electrical energy, and power conversion circuitry configured to provide electrical power to a crane to enable the crane to lift at least a portion of a rated load, and configured to convert the electrical energy from the generator to output DC power.
