Vehicle Crane Attachment Transport Unit
Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
The transportation and transfer of additional attachment parts for vehicle cranes are complex and require separate apparatuses for transport and displacement, leading to inefficiencies and increased costs.
Innovation Solution
A vehicle crane system with a mobile attachment part-transport unit equipped with a tilting device and pivotable loading arms that can couple to the attachment part, allowing for simultaneous transport and transfer without the need for additional apparatuses, using a tilting drive and loading arms to move the attachment part between the transport unit and the telescoping jib.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Ease of operation
If separate transport apparatus and mobile lifting apparatus are used to transport and transfer attachment parts, then the attachment part can be transported and transferred, but the device complexity and operational costs increase
Solution Approach 1:
The patent combines the transport apparatus and mobile lifting apparatus into a single integrated vehicle crane system. The attachment part transport unit is integrated into the vehicle crane, allowing the same equipment to perform both transport and lifting functions, thereby reducing device complexity while maintaining operational capability
Solution Approach 2:
The vehicle crane is designed with multi-functionality to serve both as a transport apparatus for moving attachment parts and as a mobile lifting apparatus for transferring them. This universal equipment performs multiple functions that previously required separate specialized devices
2Productivity
If separate transport apparatus and mobile lifting apparatus are used, then the attachment part can be transferred, but time and operational efficiency are reduced
Solution Approach 1:
By merging transport and lifting functions into a single integrated system, the patent eliminates the sequential operations and transition time between separate apparatuses. The attachment part can be transported and transferred in a continuous operation, significantly reducing total time and improving productivity
3Ease of operation
If multiple separate apparatuses are used for transport and transfer, then the attachment part can be moved, but operational costs increase
Solution Approach 1:
The patent reduces the quantity of equipment units by merging multiple separate apparatuses into a single integrated vehicle crane system. This consolidation maintains full operational capability for attachment part handling while reducing the total number of equipment units required
Solution Approach 2:
The vehicle crane serves as universal equipment that performs multiple functions previously requiring separate specialized apparatuses, thereby reducing the quantity of equipment needed while maintaining ease of operation for attachment part handling

AI summary
A vehicle crane system includes a vehicle crane with an attachment part, in particular a bracing device, which can be mounted on and removed from the telescopic jib of the vehicle crane, and to an attachment part transporting unit for transporting an attachment part of a telescopic jib of the vehicle crane. A mobile transporting device is provided for transporting the attachment part and has at least one loading arm, the free supporting end of which can be coupled to the attachment part carried or to be carried on the transporting device. The loading arm is arranged movably on the transporting device such that the attachment part can be moved between the transporting device and the telescopic jib. Furthermore, the transporting device has a tilting device which is designed for raising and lowering one side of the attachment part carried or to be carried on the transporting device.
