Abstract: A vehicle crane having a hydropneumatic suspension and a braking system including wheel brakes and a first braking circuit assigned to the wheel brakes of at least one vehicle axle and a second braking circuit assigned to the wheel brakes of at least one other vehicle axle. In order to adapt the actuation of the braking system to the weight state, the hydropneumatic suspension is coupled to an automatically load-dependent braking force regulator that is operatively connected to one of the braking circuits or to one of their braking circuit sections such that, on the basis of a weight state signal of the vehicle crane generated from the hydropneumatic suspension, a braking pressure generated inside the braking circuit or braking circuit section coupled to the automatically load-dependent braking force regulator, can be varied with respect to a braking pressure generated simultaneously inside the other braking circuit or braking circuit section.

Abstract: A method for controlling a hydropneumatic suspension of a mobile crane having at least four wheels that are each allocated a spring cylinder, having at least four spring circuits in which at least one spring cylinder is incorporated in each case, each spring circuit being allocated a pressure measurement sensor and a path measurement sensor, in which signals of the pressure measurement sensors and of the path measurement sensors are processed by a control unit, and the spring cylinders are actuated. To optimize control of a hydropneumatic suspension for road travel operation of the mobile crane the mobile crane is levelled using preset suspension height set values of the spring circuits, then, in the control unit, on the basis of pressures detected by pressure sensors, pressure set values are calculated per spring circuit and pressures in the spring circuits are readjusted with the aid of pressure set values.
