Abstract: A wear pad for a telescoping boom assembly includes a wear pad body having a first surface and a second surface oppositely positioned from the first surface and spaced from the first surface by a height of the wear pad body, a groove formed in one of the first surface and the second surface, the groove extending along a length of the wear pad body, and an insert positioned in the groove such that a portion of the insert projects outwardly from the groove. The telescoping boom assembly includes an inner boom section and an immediately adjacent outer boom section. The wear pad is configured to be installed between the inner and outer boom sections.

Abstract: A variable span A-frame outrigger includes a support having a first pivoting mount and a second pivoting mount. The first pivoting mount is pivotably connected to an outrigger leg having an upper segment and a lower segment that extends from the upper segment. The lower segment has a first plurality of connection points for connection to an intermediate member. The second pivoting mount is pivotably connected to the intermediate member having a second plurality of connection points. A connector connects a connection point of the first plurality of connection points to a connection point of the second plurality of connection points.

Abstract: A transportable machine includes a frame that may be part of a motorized carriage and a machine for transport. The frame has, for example, one or more gaps defining an interface specially designed for engaging the machine. The machine includes elements adapted to fit within or otherwise engage the gaps of the frame. Fasteners join the machine and the frame, thus creating a transportable machine.

Abstract: The present invention relates to a method for climate control in an operator's cabin of a construction machine, in particular a crane, wherein the actual temperature of the air in the cabin is detected and the characteristics—in particular the volume flow, direction and/or temperature—of the air supplied to the cabin are automatically controlled on the basis of the detected actual temperature and a particular target temperature, wherein the target temperature is automatically determined on the basis of at least one variable which affects the thermal comfort of the cabin personnel. The present invention also relates to a climate control device for the cabin of a construction machine, in particular a crane comprising such a climate control device, which is configured to perform such a method.
