Abstract

Abstract A box frame reinforced by the walls of oil reservoirs has a prefabricated tubular core sleeve on which mast bearings are assembled in inherent alignment. The structure of the main and jib booms is such as to yield high ratio of strength in relation to weight and the tying of the hinge points of the boom and operating cylinder to each other as well as to the mast gives stability. A worm gear connected to the lower end of the mast provides for 360* rotation accommodated by swiveled hydraulic manifold connections. The stabilizer legs are not only strong per se but brace the hoist frame.
