Abstract: An articulated boom of a large manipulator includes a plurality of boom segments connected to one another via articulated joints. At least one of the boom segments has a welded assembly forming a box profile in which an upper belt and a lower belt are connected to one another via lateral web plates. At least one of the web plates, the upper belt, and/or the lower belt is formed at least by one sheet metal section, which has at least one bending running essentially in a longitudinal direction of the boom segment. The at least one bending ends at a distance from an end of the sheet metal section so that the end of the sheet metal section is unbent.

Abstract: The present disclosure relates to a frame assembly of a heavy duty vehicle including an operator cabin. The frame assembly may comprise a superstructure frame having a first flange at least partially protruding from the cabin supporting frame mounting portion and having a collar and a plurality of first flange bores. The frame assembly may further comprise a cabin supporting frame having a first mounting section including a plurality of first mounting section bores, a first guiding member, and a second guiding member. The first and second guiding members may be configured to engage the collar for safely guiding the cabin supporting frame relative to the superstructure frame into a final assembling in which the plurality of first flange bores may be aligned with the plurality of first mounting section bores.
