Abstract:
1. A truck-mounted crane, comprising: an elongated pole member having a first end section, a second end section, a midrange section, and a longitudinal axis, the second end section defining an aperture for receiving an elongated securing member, the elongated member having a threaded end; a pivoting arm that is pivotally attachable to the first end section of the elongated pole member; a support member secured to the midrange section of the elongated pole member, the support member comprising a longitudinal axis, a first plane-shaped member extending away from the pole member, and a second plane-shaped member secured to and abutting the elongated pole member, the first plane-shaped member being disposed in a generally perpendicular configuration relative to the second plane-shaped member, the longitudinal axis of the support member being generally perpendicular to the longitudinal axis of the elongated pole member; an extension member being secured to the first plane-shaped member and having an axis of extension in a direction away from the first plane-shaped member, the axis of extension of the extension member being generally parallel to the longitudinal axis of the elongated pole member and generally perpendicular to the first plane-shaped member, the extension member and the first and second plane-shaped member defining an intervening space; and an anchoring plate defining a threaded opening for receiving and being secured to the threaded end of the elongated securing member, when the elongated securing member is positioned within the aperture.
