  • Patent number: 7523834
    Abstract: The invention relates to a harvester crane, which includes a set of booms, which are attached by means of a pedestal and rotating device to a chassis machine, in which the set of booms includes a main boom, which is pivoted at its lower end by a lower pivot to the pedestal; and an articulated boom, which is pivoted by an upper pivot to the opposite end of the main boom and which extends its path mainly forward from the main boom; operating devices, i.e. a lift device and a transfer device, operating the booms. The lower pivot of the main boom is located low down near to the rotating device and the pedestal is fork-shaped, the lower arm and the lift cylinder being located at least partly inside it.
