ABSTRACT:
A crane vehicle has a movable vehicle body and a pair of outriggers expandable outwardly from opposite sides of the vehicle body in widthwise opposite directions and bearing against the ground to support load weight applied to the vehicle body in stationary state. A column is mounted vertically on the vehicle body and rotatable around its vertical axis. A hydraulic motor effects rotating movement of the column at variable rotation speed in clockwise and counterclockwise directions. A telescopic boom has a free top portion and a bottom portion mounted pivotably at a top portion of the column such that the telescopic boom is angularly movable along a vertical plane containing the vertical axis of the column. The telescopic boom is linearly movable along its axis. A first hydraulic cylinder effects angular movement of the telescopic boom at variable angular speed in upward and downward directions. A second hydraulic cylinder effects linear movement of the telescopic boom at variable linear speed in forward and rearward directions. A hook is disposed at the free top portion of telescopic boom for lifting a load. A pair of detectors are disposed on the pair of outriggers and operative during the rotating movement of column and the angular and linear movements of boom for detecting respective load weight components applied to the respective outriggers and for producing a control signal proportional to unbalance between the detected load weight components. A controller is responsive to the control signal for controlling the hydraulic motor and cylinders to reduce the rotation speed of column rotating movement, the angular speed of boom angular movement in the downward direction and the linear speed of boom linear movement in the forward direction when the load weight unbalance is increased.
