  • Patent number: 10781083
    Abstract: A mobile crane comprising a main boom, which is supported on the mobile crane in such a way that the main boom can be rocked and which can be put upright by means of an elevating cylinder, and a main boom extension, which is releasably connected to a main boom head of the main boom by upper and lower pins. The main boom extension, proceeding from a home position, can be angled in relation to the main boom about a rocking axis by means of an angle drive after the upper pins have been released, which angle drive acts on a base of the main boom extension, where a drive of the mobile crane provided for a different task provides the kinetic energy for the angle drive. The angle drive is designed in such that a telescoping cylinder of the main boom provides the kinetic energy for the angle drive.

  • Patent number: 10640340
    Abstract: A mobile crane having a tiltably mounted main jib which can be erected by a tilting cylinder, and having a main jib extension releasably connected to a main jib head of the main jib by upper and lower bolts. Starting from a normal position, after release of the upper bolts, the main jib extension can be angled about a tilting axis relative to the main jib by an angling drive that engages on a foot of the main jib extension, and a drive that is provided for another purpose supplies the kinetic energy for the angling drive. The angling drive includes a lever element having two lever arms, pivotably mounted on the upper chord of the main jib extension, with the first lever arm being connected to a lifting cable of the lifting gear for operation of the angling drive and engaging the main jib head by the second lever arm.

  • Patent number: 8739987
    Abstract: A method and a device for attaching and removing an additional device having individual elements to and from a main boom of a mobile crane using no auxiliary crane is provided. In the method, a partial piece of the additional device having partial pieces is raised into an inclined position while being rotated about an upper pivot point, and a head of the main boom is bolted to a lower end of the inclined end of the partial piece of the additional device facing the mobile crane so as to be able to rotate. Using a hoist cable, all partial pieces are raised in alignment with respect to each other and the main boom, and are bolted to each other in this position and to the main boom. A displacement device for carrying out the method is also provided.
