Abstract: This disclosure relates to an improved type of tension supported boom crane which uses a load distributor to provide a plurality of attachment points for the tension support, thereby allowing a load or loads to be connected to a corresponding plurality of support points, giving rise to a particular improvement in control for bulky loads.This disclosure further relates to an improved method for controlling a bulky load with a tension supported boom crane by incorporating a load distributor in the supporting tension line allowing attachment of load cables to a bulky load at a plurality of points, and further allowing each of those load lines to be independently controlled.
