METHOD AND TRANSFER MECHANISM FOR TRANSPORTING HEAVY WORKING MACHINE ON INCLINED BASE

摘要

A method for slowing transfer of a heavy work machine on a sloping base using a separate transportation device equipped with wheels, the work machine including a set of booms having at least one operating cylinder, an auxiliary device, and a brake including a brake surface, the method including the steps of towing the work machine using a transfer vehicle and the transportation device, supporting the work machine at least partly on top of the transportation device such that the crawler chassis is raised off the sloping base, and supporting the auxiliary device on the brake, the brake surface of the brake contacting the sloping base, using the operating cylinder to press the brake surface against the sloping base to create friction to slow transfer speed of the transportation device, and adjusting pressing of the brake surface taking place through the auxiliary device using the operating cylinder.
