Abstract: A rope hoist, which comprises a rope drum for a hoisting rope to be winded thereon and a rope drum cover for partially surrounding the rope drum. Visually observable or readable means for detecting winding/unwinding positions of the hoisting rope on the rope drum are arranged on the rope drum cover, and to indicate lifting height of a load attached to the hoisting rope.

Abstract: A method and equipment for controlling a lifting device, wherein a main steering direction of the control device used by an operator is selected from at least two options; the impact of the control device on the directions of motion of the lifting device is changed according to the selected main steering direction; and the lifting device is controlled with a control device.

Abstract: There is provided a fast and a reliable way to inspect a condition of a chain by an arrangement comprising a camera and guide for positioning a chain in front of the camera such that holes of consecutive chain links are visible to the camera. In a method for inspecting a chain connected movable to a hoisting device, the chain is positioned in front of the camera by the guide and the chain is driven past the camera by the hoisting device.

Abstract: A method and equipment for detecting with smart glasses used by the operator an target intended by the operator; detecting a driving command given by the operator; and responsively to the detection of the driving command steering the loading member or the load towards said target.

Abstract: The invention relates to a trolley (1) of an overhead crane, supported to be movable between two main girders (2), whereby there is a service platform (5) on the side of the trolley, the service platform being turnable or slidable in the upward direction and/or towards the trolley.

Abstract: In accordance with an example embodiment of the present invention, an apparatus is disclosed. The apparatus includes a first housing section, a second housing section, and a connection mechanism between the housing sections. The connection mechanism includes a first hinge member, a slide plate, second hinge member, a first hinge arm, and a second hinge arm. The first hinge member includes an elongated opening. The slide plate is attached to the second housing section. The second hinge member is connected to the slide plate. The first end of the first hinge arm is connected to the first housing section. The second end of the first hinge arm is connected to the second hinge member. The first end of the second hinge arm is connected to the first hinge member at the elongated opening. The second end of the second hinge arm is connected to the second hinge member.
