A passive sway arrest system for dockside cargo container handling cranes which includes mounting on the load-carrying trolley a pivotable platform which oscillates when a load being carried by the trolley sways with pendulum motion when the trolley is moved along the boom and girder of the crane, the oscillation of the platform providing a means to arrest sway.

Integrated passive sway arrest system for cargo container handling cranes

Method and apparatus for reduced radius turning for large cranes mounted on curved sections of rails or track which is effected by lifting the outboard sets of wheels of the crane supporting bogies which are located at the corners of the cranes disposed over the rails having the shortest radius of curvature on the inside of the turn and then lowering the bogies when the crane is on a straight section of track.
