Abstract

This paper will present a model, which will allow operation of mobile cranes without counterweights. The model is based on utilization of atmospheric pressure – one of the greatest forces of nature. The model accomplishes this by replacing the base plates of crane’s outriggers with simple patented mechanism. Appropriate calculations will also be demonstrated.
