摘要:
A mobile lift crane (10) includes a carbody (12); a rotating bed (20); a boom (22); a moveable counterweight unit; counterweight movement structure; and a counterweight support structure attached to the counterweight unit. The counterweight support structure (810) includes at least two ground engaging members (820) that can provide support to the counterweight in the event of a sudden release of the load. The support structure comprises a telescoping structure (830) connected to and between the ground engaging members (820) such that the distance between the ground engaging members (820) can be adjusted between a first and second position.

A mobile lift crane (610) includes a carbody (612); moveable ground engaging menbers (614, 616); a rotating bed (620); a boom (622); a moveable counterweight unit (634); and a counterweight movement structure comprising a rack and pinion assembly (636). A method of operating the crane (610) comprises performing a pick, move and set operation, wherein the counterweight unit (634) is moved toward and away from the rotating bed (620) but is never supported by the ground during the operation, other than indirectly by the ground engaging members (614, 616).
