A modular crane, with a pot-shaped element on which an upper carriage of the crane can be mounted such that it can rotate about a rotational axis, multiple support carriers hinged to the pot-shaped element such that they can each pivot about a pivot axis for support on the ground, and a separable driving base on which the pot-shaped element can be secured.

Modular crane, transport unit for a modular crane and method for operating a crane of this type

A crane includes an under carriage, an upper carriage, a rotary connection, by means of which the upper carriage is connected with the under carriage to rotate around an axis of rotation, a jib to be connected with the crane and erected around a jib axis, and a device connecting the upper carriage with the under carriage with at least one force-transmitting element. The at least one force-transmitting element is designed passively in such a way that it transmits forces between the upper carriage and the under carriage when a pre-determined load condition of the rotary connection is reached.

Crane, device and method for deflecting forces on a crane

A crane comprises an undercarriage, an upper carriage arranged on the undercarriage, a rotary connection for rotatably mounting the upper carriage on the undercarriage about an axis of rotation, as well as a support unit attached to the upper carriage for increasing the distance of a tilting edge from the axis of rotation, so that the crane has an increased structural stability and an increased load capacity.
