Abstract
The invention relates to bridge crane assembly and a method for installation of a bridge crane. The invention is especially applicable for use in service and repair of vehicles and other heavy equipment in field conditions, such as crisis areas. The bridge crane assembly is supported by two containers (91, 92), upon which there are support frames (10, 20). The support frames are fixed to the top corners of the containers with twistlocks (19a-19d, 29a-29d), and the support frames support a crane bridge (30) with a hoist (40).
