Kran, insbesondere Bruecken- oder Portalkran

The description refers to a crane, in particular a bridge or a portal crane, comprising a crab running along the bridge or portal. A rigid or telescopic column fitted with a load lifting member is arranged on the crab. In order to achieve a high degree of positional accuracy of the transported load, the column (9) has a swinging attachment to the crab by means of joints. In particular, the column can be suspended from the crab in a universal joint.
