Telescopic cylinders require careful design as they are subjected to large side forces especially at full extension. The weight of the steel bodies and the hydraulic oil contained within the actuator create moment loads on the bearing surfaces between stages. These forces, combined with the load being pushed, threaten to bind or even buckle the ...
In 1959 crane expert R.H.Neal, hydraulics specialist F.Taylor, and design director Bob Lester, integrated all three and modernized cranes. The Coles Hydra Speedcrane appeared in 1962, further modified with the 10-ton fully telescopic hydraulic boom in 1966, followed in 1968 by the 30-ton "Husky" military versions with four-wheel drive .
A level-luffing crane is a crane mechanism where the hook remains at the same level while luffing: moving the jib up and down, so as to move the hook inwards and outwards relative to the base. [ 1 ] Usually the description is only applied to those with a luffing jib that have some additional mechanism applied to keep the hook level when luffing.
A telescopic handler, also called a lull, telehandler, teleporter, reach forklift, or zoom boom, is a machine widely used in agriculture and industry. It is somewhat like a forklift but has a boom ( telescopic cylinder ), making it more a crane than a forklift, with the increased versatility of a single telescopic boom that can extend forwards ...
A Safe Load Indicator (SLI) or an Automatic Safe Load Indicator (ASLI) is a device which is installed on mobile or portal cranes to alert the operator if the lift is exceeding the safe operating range of the machinery. [1] In some cases, the device will physically lock the machinery in circumstances it determines to be unsafe.
The telescoping column is formed by a pair of interlocking stainless steel bands. One band has a vertical rectangular profile and the other horizontal, much like an oversized Slinky . The vertical band spirals up on itself into a stacked helix , forming the wall of the column, while at the same time, the horizontal band interlocks the ...
The Associated General Contractors of America (AGC) joined with members of the Coalition for Crane Operator Safety (CCOS) and urged Congress to finalize the rule. Most of the crane industry has been against the inclusion of a rated operating capacity (ROC) as well as a provision that the employer evaluate operators concerning their ability to ...
Telescoping in mechanics describes the movement of one part sliding out from another, lengthening an object (such as a telescope or the lift arm of an aerial work platform) from its rest state. [1] In modern equipment this can be achieved by a hydraulics , but pulleys are generally used for simpler designs such as extendable ladders and amateur ...
