  • Patent number: 10696524
    Abstract: The present invention relates to a process for the assisted performance of crane movements by a crane with at least two boom elements that are movable relative to one another, whereby an auxiliary control module, after activation by the user, determines at least one target position of the boom system, determines the crane movements necessary for achieving the target position and, after active user confirmation, indirectly or directly activates the specific crane actuators for the performance of the crane movements determined by means of the crane control.
    Type: Grant
    Filed: December 21, 2017
    Date of Patent: June 30, 2020
    Assignee: Liebherr-Werk Ehingen GmbH
    Inventors: Roland Bohnacker, Max Kenzelmann

  • Patent number: 9637355
    Abstract: The invention relates to a process for the calculation of relevant data for the operation of at least one crane, particularly of a mobile crane, whereby the system comprises at least one crane, a communication network, as well as a data processing center, whereby, first of all, one or more parameters of the crane are determined on the crane and these are transmitted to the data processing center through the communication network and, in the data processing center, one or more items of data that are relevant for the operation of the crane are computed and/or selected on the basis of the one or more parameters received from the crane and the relevant data computed and/or selected for the operation of the crane is transmitted back to the at least one crane, particularly to its crane control.

  • Patent number: 9120653
    Abstract: The present invention relates to an angle-related method of monitoring crane safety during the setup procedure of a crane, wherein the crane has a sensor system and a crane control and the crane control receives one or more measured values from the sensor system during the setup procedure and compares the measured value or values received with at least one corresponding limit value and triggers a measure on an exceeding and/or falling below of the limit value or values.
