  • Patent number: 11124394
    Abstract: A crane includes a crane body, a boom, a hoisting winch, and a rope holding device pressing a rope wound around a drum of the hoisting winch against the drum. The rope holding device includes an oscillating arm whose proximal end is attached to a base of the hoisting winch using a support shaft and distal end oscillates in a direction close to or away from the drum, and a rope presser which is attached to a distal end of the oscillating arm, extends in an axial direction of the drum between a pair of flanges, and abuts against the rope wound around the drum. A weight member, which biases a distal end side of the oscillating arm in a direction close to the drum by the gravity with the support shaft as a fulcrum, is provided at the proximal end of the oscillating arm.
