Abstract
Abstract A device for actuating the swingable boom of a truck crane. The boom is swingably supported at the top of a hollow post secured to a crane truck. A pair of series connected hydraulic cylinders are disposed between the boom and the hollow post, while guiding the movement of the hydraulic cylinders by the hollow space of the post. Thereby, when the boom is actuated by the hydraulic cylinders, the hydraulic cylinders are prevented from moving toward a baggage frame of the crane truck and from reducing the effective floor space of the baggage frame.
