| 20110290751 | LATTICE BOOM - In a lattice boom, a first reinforcing lattice member includes a first reinforcing pipe which has a portion extending in the same direction as a first main member of a base boom and which is separated outward from a first side surface of the base boom and a first mounting part which is provided on the first reinforcing pipe and which is mounted to the first main member so as to transfer a load acting on the first main member in an axial direction of the first main member to the first reinforcing pipe, and a second reinforcing lattice member includes a second reinforcing pipe which has a portion extending in the same direction as a second main member of the base boom and which is separated outward from a second side surface of the base boom and a second mounting part which is provided on the second reinforcing pipe and which is mounted to the second main member so as to transfer a load acting on the second main member in an axial direction of the second main member to the second reinforcing pipe. | 12-01-2011 |
| 20110276261 | CRANE OPERATION EVALUATION DEVICE - A crane operation evaluation device for evaluating an operation status of an operator of a crane performing a crane work by using drive power of an engine. The crane operation evaluation device includes: a display device provided at a position of the crane that is visible to the operator and serving to display predetermined data; a detector for detecting a state of a given part of the crane; and a data control unit that, after a stopping operation of the engine, derives a first fuel consumption index for analyzing a fuel consumption efficiency of the crane work performed between the most recent start of the engine and the stop of the engine by the stopping operation and a first work index for analyzing content of such crane work, on the basis of detection data of the detector, and causes the display device to display the derived first fuel consumption index and first work index. | 11-10-2011 |
| 20110192815 | MOBILE CRANE HAVING COUNTERWEIGHT - Provided is a mobile crane capable of adjusting a counterweight height with no use of a costly hydraulic cylinder. The mobile crane comprises a lower propelling body, a upper slewing body, a boom pivotably attached to the upper slewing body, a mast which is at the rear of the boom and adapted to be raised and lowered so as to raise and lower the boom, a counterweight which is at the rear of the upper slewing body and hung from the mast through a guy line, and a counterweight-lifting cylinder attached to the counterweight so as to be extended to vertically push up the counterweight with respect to a ground surface. The counterweight-lifting cylinder has a cylinder body, a piston partitioning an internal space of the cylinder body into an upper head-side cylinder chamber and a lower rod-side cylinder chamber, and a rod extending from the piston downwardly beyond an lower end of the cylinder body. the counterweight-lifting cylinder is extended by supply of a hydraulic pressure into the head-side cylinder chamber and retracted by supply of a hydraulic pressure into the rod-side cylinder chamber. | 08-11-2011 |
| 20100264106 | SLEWING STOP CONTROL APPARATUS AND METHOD FOR SLEWING TYPE WORKING MACHINE - This invention provides a slewing stop control apparatus and method, capable of executing, while performing the control of determining the target slewing velocity based on a remaining slewing angle from the actual slewing motion position up to the slewing stop angular position, an automatic control of re-slewing the slewing structure having been stopped before the slewing stop angular position due to disturbance to move it to the slewing stop angular position without inconvenience. The apparatus executes slewing angular velocity control for deciding the slewing braking start timing to stop the slewing structure at a slewing stop angular position in accordance with a predetermined slewing deceleration and the subsequent target slewing angular velocity, based on the remaining slewing angle of the slewing structure. When the slewing structure stops before the slewing stop angular position due to disturbance despite the foregoing control, the target slewing angular velocity is corrected to be increased for generating slewing torque to restart the slewing. | 10-21-2010 |
| 20100263364 | BRAKING CONTROL APPARATUS FOR SLEWING TYPE WORKING MACHINE - Provided is a braking control apparatus for a slewing type working machine capable of giving a braking operation easily intuitively grasped. This apparatus includes: a flow control valve actuator increasing an opening of a flow control valve between a slewing hydraulic motor and a hydraulic pump according to an operation amount of a slewing operation member; pressure control valves limiting respective maximums of an inlet and outlet pressures of the hydraulic motor to a set value corresponding to a pressure command signal to be input; a motor-side pressure controller which retains a set pressure of the motor inlet sided pressure control valve to a pressure for motor driving and lets a set pressure of the motor outlet side pressure control valve be a set pressure for a braking torque corresponding to an operation amount of a braking operation member other than the slewing operation member; and a valve opening limiter reducing the opening of the flow control valve in correspondence with the operation of the braking operation member. | 10-21-2010 |

| 20090159547 | BOOM COMPONENT DISPLAY APPARATUS - A boom component display apparatus | 06-25-2009 |
| 20090159346 | CRAWLER CRANE - In a crawler crane of the present invention, a plurality of winches | 06-25-2009 |
| 20080302749 | COMBINATION CRANE - A combination crane A is formed by connecting two crawler cranes | 12-11-2008 |
| 20080217992 | CRAWLER VEHICLE - In a crawler vehicle according to the present invention, at the time of crane operation at a place where a grounding space of crawlers is limited, a land leveling preparation is suppressed as less as possible so as to improve efficiency of the operation. The crawler vehicle according to the present invention has a high performance. The crawler vehicle according to the present invention is provided with a pair of left and right crawler frames on the both left and right sides of a track frame. The crawler frames can be moved between an expansion position for maximizing a distance between centers of the crawlers and a contraction position for minimizing the distance. Further, the crawler vehicle according to the present invention can position the crawler frames to the track frame at an intermediate position in the middle of the expansion position and the contraction position. | 09-11-2008 |
