Abstract

A mobile cone plant with canted run-on jacks for limited vibration of the chassis without a need for clamping or extremely tight tolerances in telescopic jack parts.

Claims (14)

1. A method of deploying a mobile material processing plant comprising the steps of:

providing a first frame support member having a first frame longitudinal axis;

providing a material processing plant which creates vibration during operation;

providing a first rubber isolation mount between the first frame support member and the material processing plant;

providing a first front telescoping jack with a first front telescoping jack top portion and a first front telescoping jack bottom portion, with first front telescoping jack longitudinal axis which is not co-planar with said first frame support member, said first front telescoping jack is sized, located and configured to provide some support of the material processing plant;

wherein said material processing plant is a cone crusher;

providing a second front telescoping jack with a second front telescoping jack longitudinal axis, where said first front telescoping jack longitudinal axis and said second front telescoping jack longitudinal axis are upwardly and inwardly inclined;

providing a first rear telescoping jack, with a first rear telescoping jack longitudinal axis and a second rear telescoping jack with a second rear telescoping jack longitudinal axis; and

wherein each of said jacks is free of any structure configured to limit vibration induced internal jack relative motions.

2. The method of claim 1 wherein each of said jacks is not vertical with respect to the first frame support member.

3. The method of claim 1 wherein each of said jacks is canted.

4. The method of claim 1 wherein each of said jacks is oriented so that a top portion of each jack is closer to a top portion of any other of said jacks than are their respective bottom portions.

5. The method of claim 1 wherein bottom portions of each jack are splayed apart.

6. The method of claim 2 wherein each of said jacks is canted, each of said jacks is oriented so that a top portion of each jack is closer to a top portion of any other of said jacks than are their respective bottom portions, wherein bottom portions of each jack are splayed apart, and wherein each of said jacks is tilted toward a central point so as to resist forces in both side to side and also in end to end directions.
