Abstract: A large mobile crane including an undercarriage. The undercarriage includes a middle section between tracks, wherein a distance between the tracks can be increased or decreased by the insertion or removal of expansion parts. The two tracks are connected on opposite sides of the undercarriage to permit movement of the large mobile crane. The undercarriage also includes a drive unit, a superstructure, one or more control stations, at least two main booms, at least one derrick boom, and at least two lifting devices and counterweights. The counterweights are either arranged separately of or mounted on the undercarriage. The large mobile crane further includes a circular track, and support rollers attached to the superstructure, wherein the support rollers ride on the circular track, and wherein the circular track is an integral part of the expansion parts.

Abstract: A connector is provided for connecting a first crane and a second crane, each crane having a boom, the connector includes a first connecting arm and a second connecting arm, the first connecting arm building the top of the boom of the first crane, the second connecting arm building the top of the boom of the second crane, the first connecting arm and the second connecting arm being hinged together about only one common pivotal axis within a common pivotal plane, and the booms of the first and the second cranes are linked up in motion in a common luffing plane, and the luffing plane is identical to the pivotal plane.

Abstract: The object of the invention is to reduce the amount of investment required for the usage-optimized configuration and installation of large cranes. This object is achieved by a large mobile crane having an undercarriage, a drive unit (16), a revolving superstructure (18), one or more control stations (17), at least two jibs (3), at least one counter-jib (4), at least two lifting arrangements (22) and counterweights arranged separately or on the basic structure, characterized in that the load-bearing parts of the crane (3, 4, 20) and the mobility-specific parts (5, 6, 7) are of modular design and can be supplemented by exchangeable and/or supplementary parts, wherein the structural units (modules) used essentially correspond, or are similar, to existing standard-crane components, and an increase in load-bearing capacity can be achieved by arranging a number of these in the large crane.

Abstract: A mobile crane includes an undercarriage with a middle section and two parallel crawler carriages; a superstructure on which a boom is mounted, the superstructure being connected to the undercarriage by a rotary joint; two longitudinal outriggers connected to the undercarriage and extending in the longitudinal direction between the crawler carriages; and two transverse outriggers connected to the undercarriage and extending outside the crawler carriages. One of the longitudinal outriggers has an end with a transverse beam supported by spaced apart outrigger cylinders which provide an extended tipping edge to further stabilize the crane.

Abstract: A large mobile crane includes a revolving superstructure, a main boom hinged to the superstructure, and a derrick boom hinged to the superstructure. A modular counterweight system includes a traveling counterweight and a non-traveling counterweight connected to a crossbeam suspended from the distal end of the derrick boom so that the non-traveling counterweight is activated before the traveling counterweight.
