Abstract: Unit cranes consist of three jointed arms (13-15), the middle arm (14) being in the form of a polygon comprising a number of units jointed together, the mobility of the units being arranged by influencing the units internally. The object of the invention is to achieve improved traction curves and speed curves, and this is effected by influencing the movement of the units from the outside by means of a hydraulic mechanism.
