The invention concerns an arrangement for the guidance of flexible lines that run from a crane arm (3) through its end section (2) to a tool (4), that is suspended at the crane arm through a link arrangement (5) and a frame that is a component of a rotator (6) for rotation around a vertical first axis (A) and in a cardan manner around second (B) and third (C) horizontal axes, For the discrete and protected passage of hoses, it comprises a first holder (35) in an opening (3A) of the end section (2), a second holder (38) in a central region of the rotator (6), a first hose package (1A-1D) that extends between the said first (35) and second holders (38), a penetration (26) in a central region of the rotator (6) and permitting hydraulic fluid to pass through the rotator (6) and onwards to a lower part (18) of the same at least one of the said second (B) and third (C) horizontal axes comprises an “open joint”.
An arrangement for the guidance of flexible lines, comprising hoses, cable or a combination of these, that run from a crane arm through an end section thereof to a tool, that is suspended at the crane arm through a link arrangement and a frame that is a component of a rotator for rotation around a vertical first axis and in a cardan manner around second and third horizontal axes,
