Implementations of cranes may include a first telescoping boom and a second telescoping boom coupled within the first telescoping boom. The second telescoping boom may be entirely within the first telescoping boom when the second telescoping boom is in a fully extended position.

Telescoping crane and related methods

A portable gantry crane formed of composite members includes a composite material I-beam. Two or more support members are formed of a composite material and each support member supports the I-beam when the portable gantry crane is in an upright position. Two or more end housings are included, each end housing enclosing a top end of one of the two or more support members and coupled thereto using adhesive. A plurality of latch structures are coupled with the I-beam, each latch structure including a latch, and each end housing having a latch receiver, each latch in combination with a latch receiver allowing one of the latch structures to be releasably fixedly coupled with an end housing. In implementations a plurality of latch structures are coupled with the I-beam, each latch structure having a latch structure enclosure and each latch structure enclosure at least partially enclosing one of the end housings.

A beam trolley having a width adjustment system includes a first side plate having two or more wheels configured to couple with a beam (which may have an I-beam, wide flange (W-type) I-beam, or standard (S-type) I-beam configuration). A second side plate having two or more wheels coupled thereon is configured to couple with the beam. A main load bar couples with the first and second side plates and includes a threaded shaft having a first alignment surface. A threaded hand wheel couples with the threaded shaft and is configured to move the threaded shaft relative to the first and/or second side plate(s) in response to manual rotation of the threaded hand wheel to adjust a distance between the first and second side plates. An aligner couples with one of the side plates and includes a surface engaging the first alignment surface to prevent rotation of the main load bar.

Beam trolleys with width adjustment system and related methods

A portable crane formed of composite members. A composite mast is coupled to a composite boom. A boom end housing removably couples at a top of the mast and includes an enclosure. A first end of the boom couples within the boom end housing. A boom pivot couples to the boom end housing and couples the boom to the mast. An angle adjuster releasably secures the boom at a desired angle relative to the mast. In implementations an end cap is included at a second end of the boom, coupled to a sheave with a pin, the end cap covering a terminal end of a second end of the boom and extending along both sides of a slot in an upper surface of the second end and along a portion of a first side of the second end and along a portion of a second side of the second end.
