  • Patent number: 10662034
    Abstract: The invention relates to a climbing system (1) for a crane. The system comprises a climbing apparatus (2) for inserting a mast section (3) or for removing a mast section (3) from a tower structure (4) of a crane, and a control unit (5) for controlling the climbing apparatus (2). The system is furthermore characterized in that the system comprises a first sensor (51) for monitoring a state of a connection means of the climbing apparatus (2) and/or the tower structure (4), wherein the first sensor (51) is connected to the control unit (5). A climbing process of a crane can thus be simplified and the safety of the climbing process can be increased.
