A wire feeder includes an exterior housing and in interior housing that creates an interstitial spaced that is disposed between the exterior and interior housing. This housing structure reduces weight of the wire feeder while maintaining the structural rigidness required of a wire feeder. This housing structure also promotes improved cooling features for the wire feeder and the components disposed within the wire feeder. The exterior housing may be constructed of a materials that reduces the likelihood of being damaged. The wire feeder may be further equipped with a strain relief device for the incoming supply cables, and an interchangeable cable connector. The wire feeder may also be equipped with removable wire guides for the wire feeder mechanism that are toolless. The wire feeder may be equipped with accessory storage and attachment features, as well as a cost reduced repositionable control panel.

A suggested welding crane for welding of objects comprises an arm, a stand and a welding head. The arm includes at least a first and a second segment, which are arranged with their length axes essentially parallelly and are telescopically movable along their length axes in relation to each other so that at least a first segment of said segments at least partly slides into at least a second segment of said segments. The welding head is arranged in a distal end of an outermost segment of the arm while an innermost segment of the arm is suspended in the stand. A linear guide is arranged on at least a first segment of said segments. A co-operating part of said at least one linear guide is arranged on at least a second segment of said segments, wherein the at least one linear guide is adapted to provide said telescopic movement.
