1935 Description of three-wheeled mobile electric cranes. In the case of the 12.5 cwt crane, 'If the driver attempts to lift a weight, say, 100 per cent, greater than the capacity of the crane, the rear wheel leaves the ground and the distribution of masses in the machine is such that this action can safely continue until the wheel is 3 ft. from the ground. This angle of tilt is clearly more than sufficient to give the driver ample warning that he is attempting a dangerous overload. Should he attempt to traverse with a load approximately 40 per cent, greater than the capacity of the crane, he will find that the reduction ofweight on the driving wheel is such that the crane will not travel. In view of this inherent protective feature, the motor overload gear is provided with a time-limit, so that while it will respond to a continuous overload, it will ignore a momentary one.' The motors were of Tate's own make.[4]
