摘要

A crane having outriggers that can be extended transversely of the main frame of the crane, and a vertically positionable jack is located at the outer ends of the outriggers and include a vertical, threaded shaft having a ground engaging pad at its lower end and which is non-rotatably carried by the outer end of the beam. A power drive is located within the beam for rotating a large nut that is engaged by the shaft and which is carried by the interior portion of the beam. This power drive includes a hydraulic motor which drives a speed reducer which in turn furnishes power to the sprocket and endless chain connection between the speed reducer and threadably driven nut.
