Abstract: Method for measuring cable loads in a mineshaft (2), comprising the steps: provision of cable load measuring elements (6) on the conveyor means, provision of a cableless transmitter for cable load measured values on the conveyor means (4), connected to the cable load measuring elements, provision of a cableless receiver (12) for cable load measured values at the level of the surface of the mineshaft, provided with an output interface, measurement of the cable loads on the conveyor means by means of the cable load measuring elements for generating cable load values; and transmission of the cable load values in a cableless fashion between the transmitter (10) and the receiver for cable load measured values; and evaluation by means of an evaluation program with specification of the correction values.
