A positioning device for at least one pallet that is deposited on a deposit area of a raiseable and lowerable container having at least one open side, especially for unloading ships, whereby the deposit area is larger than the pallets by a predetermined amount. To permit automatic alignment of the pallets and their subsequent automatic removal by means of a horizontal conveyor, that the deposit area bordered on two opposite sides by two contact surfaces, which are arranged vertically parallel to each other and can be synchronously moved toward each other into a central position. The container is be insertable from above into a precentering opening of a centering frame, which precentering opening corresponds to the outer contour of the container cross-section, and placeable onto a horizontal support surface arranged thereunder, whereby the contact surfaces are automatically movable toward each other, up to pallet width, by deflection of the weight of the loaded container.

A lifting device constructed as a frame or gantry vehicle which is supported on four movable vertical supports. The gantry vehicle further comprises a crane trolley which is horizontally movable along a frame on a plurality of rails. Two vertically arranged lifting cylinders are rigidly fastened at the trolley in a plane parallel to the vertical longitudinal center planes of the load carrying means and trolley trolley such that at least their synchronously telescoping piston rods project into the space below the trolley and support a load carrying arrangement at their free ends.

A two-axle undercarriage for track-bound transport systems carrying freight and passenger traffic, especially for inseparable train units, is divided into two parts, each part housing a wheel set. The two undercarriage frame halves are connected to each other in an adjustably articulated fashion on the plane of travel and are axially movable relative to each other to a limited extent in the direction of travel. To provide a tensilely-strong connection of two adjacent car bodies of the track-bound transport system, a connecting rod is used that permits adjustment of the undercarriage frame halves. The connecting rod is arranged between the adjacent car bodies so that cardanic movement is permitted between each of the two adjacent car bodies so that cardanic movement is permitted between each of the two adjacent car bodies and the connecting rod.

A railborne mobile crane with an auxiliary car which is coupled to the crane car and has a supporting device for the head of the boom during transport, wherein the boom lies essentially horizontally and is articulated at the boom base at the pivoting frame of the mobile crane. The boom head which extends the boom in the longitudinal axial direction is connected with the boom so as to be articulated vertically and can be deposited on the supporting device which is fastened to the auxiliary car so as to be pivotable about a horizontal axle and is provided with a three-dimensionally articulated abutment for the boom head which is, in turn, displaceable on the supporting device transverse to the longitudinal axis of the boom.

The invention is directed to a load securing device for standardized transport vessels, such as containers, interchangeable containers or the like, on loading surfaces by securing pins which are swivelable upward from a rest position under the loading surface around a horizontal swiveling axle arranged below the latter into their vertical working position and which are lockable in this position so as to be retained in openings in the corner regions of the transported goods. For this purpose, a swivel bearing plate is arranged in the manner of a one-armed lever between securing pins and the swivel axle so as to be mounted thereon, the securing pins being fastened to the swivel bearing plate at a distance laterally from the swivel axle. A locking pin is guided in a lockable manner at the swivel bearing plate so as to be displaceable transversely to the swivel axle and parallel to the swivel bearing plate, this locking pin being displaceable by a piston cylinder unit which can swivel the swivel bearing plate into its working position and rest position and thereby locks the swivel bearing plate.

A locking device for standardized transport vessels, such as containers, interchangeable containers or the like, on loading surfaces of transporting devices includes clamping pins which are at least partially movable upward out of the loading surface from their rest positions below the loading surface into vertical working positions and which are lockable in this position by their clamping pin heads, which are provided at their free ends, in openings in the corner regions of the transport vessels. For this purpose, every clamping pin is part of a vertically acting piston-cylinder unit which is fastened below the loading surface to the frame of the transporting device. The vertical stroke of every piston-cylinder unit corresponds to the outward path traveled by the clamping pin with the clamping pin head upward out of the loading surface. The clamping pin head is designed as a hammer head, and a motor acts at the circumference of the clamping pin. The motor rotates the clamping pin with the clamping pin head by 90.degree. around its vertical axis.

A crane, in particular railbound mobile crane, with a luffing jib telescoping at both sides which can be swung up and down as well as raised and lowered with its base boom. The boom is supported in its end regions at the vehicle on a swivel bearing which can be raised and lowered. The luffing jib is swivelable about vertical axes in the region of the swivel bearings. For this purpose, every swivel bearing is supported at one of two separate multiple-axle traveling mechanisms so as to be displaceable traverse to the longitudinal axis of the mobile crane. The two traveling mechanisms are coupled with one another via the base boom of the luffing jib, which base boom is connected with the swivel bearings.

A track-bound mobile crane with a vertically-adjustable carrying device arranged on a vehicle frame and to which a guide carrier is attached. The guide carrier consists of two vertically-adjustable columns arranged across from one another at each end of the vehicle on both sides of the vehicle longitudinal axis. The guide carrier can be raised and lowered by the vertically adjustable columns.

Track-bound mobile crane

A crane, particularly a track-bound mobile crane, having a luffing jib located on a vehicle frame so as to be slewable upward and downward around a horizontal axis and rotatable around a vertical axis. In order to transport long and heavy loads in narrow areas, especially during the construction of bridges or tracks, the luffing jib is supported on at least one swivel bearing located on a vehicle frame end and is slewable upward and downward or liftable by a lifting drive arranged between the ends of the vehicle frame.

A crane for raising and lowering a load, which crane includes a vehicle frame with end areas and a slewing device arranged on the vehicle frame. The slewing device includes at least two basic slewing columns slewable by 360.degree., mounted on the vehicle frame in the vehicle frame end areas. Additionally, a separate articulated slewing arm having at least two elements is located on each basic slewing column.

A crane, particularly a railway crane, with a superstructure which is arranged on an undercarriage so as to be swivelable around a vertical axis, a jib and at least one counterweight which is movable as a function of the swiveling movement of the superstructure. The counterweight being arranged on the superstructure. The at least one counterweight is connected with the superstructure via an articulation which has a swivel axis aligned parallel to the vertical axis of the superstructure.

Cranes having multisection booms have an apparatus for interconnecting boom sections mounted at the ends of the boom sections. The apparatus for interconnecting the boom sections has: on a first boom section, an upper hook member with its concave portion being concave inwardly towards a central longitudinal axis of the boom section; on a second boom section, an upper fork member, having a pair of extending flange portions supporting a bolt member for being received within the upper hook member during interconnection; upper abutment surfaces, which are planar and are perpendicular to the central longitudinal axis of the boom sections, and which are located on the end of the upper hook member and between the pair of flanges of the upper fork member; and a lower strap member on a first boom section for being disposed within a lower fork member on a second boom section during interconnection.
