Abstract

A compact rough terrain crane in which an exhaust emission control device and an elevating step are laid out in a compact manner without impairing excellent small-radius turning performance is provided. The crane includes a lower carrier that has a front axle and a rear axle. The crane includes an exhaust emission control device that has a DOC which is connected to an exhaust pipe extending from a diesel engine and is supplied with exhaust, a DRT disposed downstream of the DOC, and an SCR disposed downstream of the DRT. The crane includes an elevating step. The DOC, the DRT, and the SCR are disposed in parallel on a virtual horizontal plane that is separated from an upper surface of the lower carrier by a predetermined distance. The step is disposed in a gap that is formed between the upper surface of the lower carrier and the exhaust emission control device.

Claims (15)

1. A rough terrain crane comprising:

a lower carrier having a front axle and a rear axle;

a boom device disposed above the lower carrier; and

a single operating unit that performs driving and a boom operation via a hydraulic actuator,

wherein the lower carrier includes a lower frame, an outrigger provided to be attached and detached to an end portion of the lower frame, and an engine that is disposed on an upper side of a rear end portion of the lower carrier, drives the axles, and supplies hydraulic pressure to the hydraulic actuator, and an elevating step,

the rough terrain crane further comprising:

an exhaust emission control device that has a diesel oxidation catalyst which is connected to an exhaust pipe extending from the engine and is supplied with exhaust, a decompression reactor tube disposed downstream of the diesel oxidation catalyst, and a selective catalyst reduction disposed downstream of the decompression reactor tube,

wherein the diesel oxidation catalyst, the decompression reactor tube, and the selective catalyst reduction are disposed in parallel on a virtual horizontal plane separated from a top surface of the lower carrier by a predetermined distance, and

wherein the elevating step is disposed in a gap that is formed between the top surface of the lower carrier and the exhaust emission control device.

2. The rough terrain crane according to claim 1 ,

wherein the decompression reactor tube is disposed in series with the diesel oxidation catalyst or the selective catalyst reduction in a longitudinal direction of the lower frame, and the diesel oxidation catalyst and the selective catalyst reduction are disposed in parallel to each other so as to face each other in a transverse direction of the lower frame.

3. The rough terrain crane according to claim 1 ,

wherein the exhaust pipe is inclined at an angle of between about thirty degrees and zero degrees with respect to the exhaust emission control device with a horizontal line as a reference.

4. The rough terrain crane according to claim 2 ,

wherein the exhaust pipe is inclined at an angle of between about thirty degrees and zero degrees with respect to the exhaust emission control device with a horizontal line as a reference.
