CULTIVATION AND CONTAINER TERMINAL SYSTEM USED ON ROUND CONFIGURATION AREAS Russian patent published in 1996 - IPC

FIELD: hoisting-and-transport engineering. SUBSTANCE: beam crane has beam formed as beam or girder-type construction, rail-guided carts movable along crane beam, power supply, crane mechanism electromechanical control system using electronic facilities, operator's cabins with control panels and computer. Crane has single column allowing rotation of beam around central support provided with supporting ring. Crane beam construction consoles are additionally supported by special segment girder or beam passed through girder construction of crane beam in console and beam span adjoining site, with beam being supported through rail wheels onto rollers positioned in circular arrangement. Radius of circle is equal to length of span part of crane beam. Rail carts are fixed from below to lower belt of segment girder or beam. Supporting rollers are mounted on columns positioned in circular arrangement. Rail carts are formed as through shaft construction hanging over tilled area of circular field or over area of container terminal. Rail carts are provided with hanging equipment. EFFECT: increased efficiency, wider operational capabilities and enhanced reliability in operation. 2 dwg
