A mobile lift crane (10) includes a carbody (12,13) and at least four crawlers (14,16), each crawler (14,16) having a crawler frame (27) attached to the carbody (12) by a trunnion (50) so as to be able to pivot with respect to the carbody (12) about the axis (51) of the trunnion (50). A linear actuator (36,70) is connected between the crawler frame and the carbody (12) and extends through the trunnion (50). The linear actuator (36) is part of a self attachment mechanism. The trunnion (50) includes a tubular member (52) with a longitudinal axis (51), a first end (53) configured for connection to the crane carbody (12) and a second end (54) configured for connection to the crawler frame (27). At least one of the ends is configured to allow rotational movement of the crawler frame (27) relative to the carbody (12) about the longitudinal axis (51). The linear actuator (36) is mounted within the hollow central tubular member (52). The linear actuator (36) is preferably a hydraulic cylinder (70). A carbody connector (80) is attached to one end of the hydraulic cylinder (70), and a crawler frame connector (80) is attached to the other end of the hydraulic cylinder (70).
