Abstract: The present invention relates to a construction machine such as an excavator, a crawler-type vehicle, a wheeled loader or the like, comprising at least one interchangeable equipment item which is actuable by means of an electronic control, wherein the control has a control handle, preferably movable through multiple axes, in particular a joystick, for the generation of control commands for the interchangeable equipment item, wherein at least one actuation element is arranged at the control handle whose actuation is sensed by means of a sensor device and is converted into a control signal. In accordance with the invention, the construction machine is characterized in that a dynamometer and/or torque meter is provided as the sensor device which is connected to the actuation element and senses actuation forces and/or actuation torques exerted onto the actuation element.

Abstract: The present disclosure relates to a hydraulic excavator comprising a magnet attached to its stem or an attached magnetic cross-beam, in which the power of the magnets is adjustable, wherein it includes a safety control such that the magnetic force of the respective magnets is increased upon taking up a load and upon leaving a safety zone around the load take-up point, the travel speed of the excavator being switchable at the same time from a reduced value during load take-up to an increased speed.
