Patent ID: 11724922

Abstract:
The focus of the present disclosure is on portable cranes and cantilevered base systems. In particular, portable cranes and cantilevered base systems which are lightweight, easy-to-operate, safe, inexpensive, and have extended reaches with high-load capacities would be advantageous for a variety of applications. A cantilevered support to a pivotable arm that is provided by the present disclosure provides advantages when compared to other portable cranes, such as the ability to: 1) extend an arm and reach of a crane, 2) increase a load that can be lifted or lowered, 3) operate a portable crane and cantilevered base system freestanding without attaching a base to a floor, surface, or bed of a vehicle, and 4) augment the structural capacity of a portable crane and cantilevered base with mechanical devices to support a variety of applications.
