Abstract: The present application relates to a stopping method and apparatus for a device with a hoisting mechanism and a crane. The method includes: generating a displacement change rate according to position offset information of a hoisting handle of the device when the position offset information meets a triggering condition; comparing the displacement change rate with a preset threshold to generate a stopping control instruction; and controlling an overhead system of the device to perform deceleration stopping according to the stopping control instruction. The stopping method and apparatus for the device with the hoisting mechanism, the crane, the electronic device and the computer readable medium involved in the present application may achieve the purpose of rapid stopping control only through the hoisting handle of the device, and reduce the requirement for the driver's reaction time and increase the safety of the device when emergency stopping is required.
