Patent number: 10703612Abstract: A method for calculating a crane capacity for a crane having a variable position counterweight at a locked position includes determining a boom combination and determining a maximum capacity at a hook position for the boom combination. A maximum target value for an operating condition dependent on a balance of the crane is determined. An indication of the locked counterweight position is received. At least one new target value for the operating condition dependent on the balance of the crane between the variable position counterweight at the locked counterweight position is established. A new capacity of the crane is calculated by decrementing the maximum capacity of the crane proportionally to a difference in the maximum target value and the at least one new target value. Cranes and crane control systems may employ this method.Type: GrantFiled: November 10, 2017Date of Patent: July 7, 2020Assignee: Manitowoc Crane Companies, LLCInventors: Timothy James Albinger, Brian Nicholas Nysse

Patent number: 10641260Abstract: Valve assembly for a pump, the valve assembly including: a valve seat having a valve face (60), a flexible valve having a sealing portion for abutting the valve face (60), and at least a fluid pathway (66, 68, 70) from an interior of the valve seat to an exterior of the valve seat that serves as a leak flow path for fluid when the valve is in the closed position to reduce pressure build up on the valve. In this way, the vacuum inside the pump can be released when the value is in the closed position and the pump is stopped, thereby allowing the pump to start/restart due to reduced pressure build up on a side of the valve abutting the valve face. A pump or compressor including such a valve assembly is also disclosed.Type: GrantFiled: October 29, 2013Date of Patent: May 5, 2020Assignee: Parker-Hannifin CorporationInventors: Jonathan Mark Rowland, Brian Nicholas Ferry, Brett Alan Hall

Patent number: 10173868Abstract: A system and method for calculating a crane capacity for a crane having a variable position counterweight at an intermediate position is disclosed. In the method a boom combination is determined and a maximum capacity at a hook position is determined for the boom combination. A target value for an operating condition is established dependent on a balance of the crane between the variable position counterweight and a load on the hook. An indication is received of an intermediate counterweight position, and a load is calculated for the hook at the hook position for the boom combination and the intermediate counterweight position that results in the operating condition having the target value to determine an intermediate capacity. The intermediate capacity is compared with the maximum capacity and the lower of the maximum capacity and the intermediate capacity is output.Type: GrantFiled: June 10, 2016Date of Patent: January 8, 2019Assignee: Manitowoc Crane Companies, LLCInventors: Brian Nicholas Nysse, Timothy James Albinger
