Abstract: A crane with a boom, on which running tracks for cable carriers are disposed, having two running tracks for the cable carriers, which engage into one another with a positive lock. One running track is connected with the crane or the boom, and the other running track is displaceable on the crane or the boom.

Abstract: The invention relates to a multiple trolley container crane having at least two trolley tracks (6, 7) disposed one on top of the other, on which trolleys (8) having running wheels, drive devices, and lifting devices move. Characterized in that running wheels (20) that can be laterally retracted and extended, and an integrated lifting system (21, 22, 24, 25, 26) are disposed on the trolleys (8) on the trolley tracks (6, 7), with which they support themselves on or next to the trolley tracks (6, 7) and thereby get from the lower to the upper trolley tracks (6, 7) and vice versa. The invention is suitable for fast loading and unloading of container ships, where several containers are supposed to be loaded and unloaded from them at the same time (Figure).

Abstract: A biased support for booms that can pivot about a pin, for pivoting travel tracks for vehicles that run on rails, such as trolley travel tracks on booms. The booms are mounted to pivot via pins, the lock on the boom and slide plates on the upper and lower bearing points of the lock. At least one of the two slide plates in the upper bearing point is mounted elastically, so that when the boom is pivoted into the operating position, the entire lock is biased vertically and the pin is relieved of stress.

Abstract: A straddle loader for lifting a load includes an upper frame having a spreader for grasping the load, a compartment for an operator, at least two traveling frames for receiving the load, and a lifting system connected to the upper frame and the plural traveling frames. The lifting system varies the distance between the upper frame and the plural traveling frames by uniformly transferring the load to the traveling frames so that the upper frame and the traveling frames remain parallel and perpendicular. The straddle loader further includes a plurality of telescoping beams associated with the lifting system so that at least two telescoping beams are connected to each of the traveling frames. Each telescoping beam is capable of extension and retraction. Stationary pivot shafts connect each end of each of the telescoping beams to the respective upper frame or traveling frame and to a pressure cylinder associated with each of the telescoping beams.

Abstract: A device for contactless cargo load control for shipping container crane installations, by x-raying the containers in the course of loading and unloading of transport vehicles. An X-ray device for contactless control of the shipping container is mounted on the crane, and the shipping containers are driven through the X-ray device. This offers the advantage that shipping containers can be checked in a quick and safe manner.

Abstract: A method for determining the position of a vehicle, preferably of a portal stacking truck in relation to a container crane, in which a sensor serves for determining the position of the stacking truck, and evaluating devices are coupled to a detection device, and in which the posts of a container crane are detected as positioning aids in terms of angle and distance by means of a scanner mounted on the stacking truck and transmitted to an evaluating computer, which compares the signals with signals provided in its program and determines the exact position of the stacking truck in relation to the posts of the container, and drives the stacking truck from this position into an exactly predetermined position in relation to the posts of the container.

Abstract: The invention relates to a transporter container-loading bridge comprising a two-armed traveling support, a lifting gear, a traveling mechanism and at least one portal, characterized in that at least two trolleys travel on individual tracks of the traveling support on the transporter container-loading bridge with their paths crossing. According to the invention, the running track of one trolley is located above and inside the track of the other trolley, wherein both trolleys travel along both sides of their running tracks. The invention provides the advantage that several trolleys can travel independently from each other without having to transfer, rotate or surrender their load.
