FIELD: transport.

SUBSTANCE: invention relates to aerospace engineering and may be used in preparing carrier rockets for launching at highly-automated lunch pad. Proposed device comprises frame resting on starting structure, boom pivoted to frame and provided with boom drive hydraulic cylinder, hydraulic and electrical equipment. Frame is composed of a base secured with concrete starting structure and two triangular-box-section beams interconnected by crossbar. Bosses to secure boom drive hydraulic cylinder lower axle are welded in lengthwise beams while ears are made at top ends of said beams to secure boom rotational axles. Said boom is composed of lengthwise beams, tail beam and crosswise beams. Bosses to secure hydraulic cylinder top axle and bosses to secure boom to frame are welded in lengthwise beams. Carriage composed of frame and two bars is mounted at crosswise beams. Said bars are integrated into rigid frame structure to make carriage guides.
