Abstract

A lifting apparatus, especially a cable traction mechanism, comprising a base frame that has at least two base plates, further comprising at least two longitudinal beams that interconnect the base plates and are spaced apart from each other, and at least one attachable cross-member for cable reeving parts that is fastened to the base plates and extends substantially parallel to the longitudinal beams. Multiple mounting points, to which the attachable cross-member for cable reeving parts can be alternatively and detachably fastened, may be arranged on each of the base plates to promote modularity of the lifting apparatus.

Claims (21)

1. Cable winch having a base frame comprising at least two base plates, having at least two longitudinal beams connecting the base plates together and being at a spaced disposition with respect to each other, and at least one mounting cross-beam for cable reeving parts, attached to the base plates and extending essentially in parallel with the longitudinal beams, wherein the cable reeving parts are formed as cable pulleys or cable fixed points which are attached to the mounting cross-beam, wherein a plurality of attachment locations are disposed on each of the base plates, wherein the attachment locations are formed as first apertures on the first base plate and second apertures on the second base plate and at which attachment locations the mounting cross-beam for cable reeving parts can be releasably attached as desired, wherein the mounting cross-beam for cable reeving parts can be releasably attached to the base plates via first and second reception plates, and wherein the first and second reception plates can be placed into the first and second apertures and have an attachment part projecting beyond the contour of the first and second base plates.

2. Cable winch as claimed in claim 1 , wherein the base plates are formed in a substantially square or rectangular manner and the attachment locations are disposed on at least two different edges of the base plates.

3. Cable winch as claimed in claim 1 , wherein three attachment locations are disposed per base plate.

4. Cable winch as claimed in claim 1 , wherein a cable drum is mounted between the base plates and the attachment locations are disposed outside the regions of the base plates concealed by the cable drum when seen in the direction of the rotational axis of the cable drum.

5. Cable winch as claimed in claim 1 , wherein the attachment locations are disposed on the inner sides of the base plates.

6. Cable winch as claimed in claim 1 , wherein the mounting cross-beam is suspended in an oscillating manner on the respective attachment part of the first and second reception plates.

7. Cable winch as claimed in claim 2 , wherein three attachment locations are disposed per base plate.

8. Cable winch as claimed in claim 2 , wherein a cable drum is mounted between the base plates and the attachment locations are disposed outside the regions of the base plates concealed by the cable drum when seen in the direction of the rotational axis of the cable drum.

9. Cable winch as claimed in claim 3 , wherein a cable drum is mounted between the base plates and the attachment locations are disposed outside the regions of the base plates concealed by the cable drum when seen in the direction of the rotational axis of the cable drum.

10. Cable winch as claimed in claim 7 , wherein a cable drum is mounted between the base plates and the attachment locations are disposed outside the regions of the base plates concealed by the cable drum when seen in the direction of the rotational axis of the cable drum.

11. Cable winch as claimed in claim 2 , wherein the attachment locations are disposed on the inner sides of the base plates.

12. Cable winch as claimed in claim 3 , wherein the attachment locations are disposed on the inner sides of the base plates.

13. Cable winch as claimed in claim 4 , wherein the attachment locations are disposed on the inner sides of the base plates.

14. Cable winch as claimed in claim 10 , wherein the attachment locations are disposed on the inner sides of the base plates.

15. Cable winch having a base frame comprising at least two base plates, having at least two longitudinal beams connecting the base plates together and being at a spaced disposition with respect to each other, and at least one mounting cross-beam for cable reeving parts, attached to the base plates and extending essentially in parallel with the longitudinal beams, wherein the cable reeving parts are formed as cable pulleys or cable fixed points which are attached to the mounting cross-beam, wherein a plurality of attachment locations are disposed on each of the base plates, wherein the attachment locations are formed as first apertures on the first base plate and second apertures on the second base plate and wherein the apertures are three-dimensional areas recessed into the base plates that form radially facing openings at a perimeter edge of the base plates and at which attachment locations the mounting cross-beam for cable reeving parts can be releasably attached as desired, wherein the mounting cross-beam for cable reeving parts is releasably attached to the base plates via first and second reception plates, and wherein the first and second reception plates are placed into respective ones of the first and second apertures with each reception plate projecting through a respective one of the radially facing openings beyond the perimeter of the first and second base plates.

16. Cable winch as claimed in claim 15 , wherein the base plates are formed in a substantially square or rectangular manner and the attachment locations are disposed on at least two different edges of the base plates.

17. Cable winch as claimed in claim 15 , wherein three attachment locations are disposed per base plate.

18. Cable winch as claimed in claim 15 , wherein a cable drum is mounted between the base plates and the attachment locations are disposed outside the regions of the base plates concealed by the cable drum when seen in the direction of the rotational axis of the cable drum.

19. Cable winch as claimed in claim 15 , wherein the attachment locations are disposed on the inner sides of the base plates.

20. Cable winch as claimed in claim 15 , wherein the base plates are formed in a substantially square or rectangular manner and the radially facing openings are disposed on at least two different edges of the base plates.

21. Cable winch as claimed in claim 20 , wherein the attachment locations are disposed on the inner sides of the base plates.
