Portable extension boom cranes made of high strength steel are used for raising cargo on to and off of ships and trucks, e.g. loading equipment or food onto large cruise ships. Customers demand ever-increasing lifting capacity, while at the same time wanting the cranes to remain lightweight, versatile, mobile, and as small as possible when folded. Together with his students, Professor Jozef Predan from the Faculty of Mechanical Engineering at the University of Maribor, Slovenia, carried out a series of tests for the crane manufacturer Palfinger Systems using a Leica TS30 total station.
