Method and device for monitoring the stability of a loading crane mounted on a vehicle
First Claim
1. A method for monitoring a stability parameter of a loading crane mounted on a vehicle supported on the ground by one or more wheels and by one or more support elements separate from the wheels, wherein there is a predetermined minimum number of wheels and support elements by which the vehicle must be supported, the method comprising:
- calculating, using a processor, the stability parameter of the loading crane mounted on the vehicle supported on the ground by the wheels and the support elements, including detecting contributions to a magnitude of the stability parameter of the wheels of the vehicle on which the loading crane is mounted, and detecting contributions to the magnitude of the stability parameter of the support elements of the vehicle on which the loading crane is mounted; and
comparing the magnitude of the stability parameter to at least one predetermined limit value.

Abstract
A method for monitoring a stability parameter of a loading crane mounted on a vehicle supported on the ground by wheels and by support elements separate from the wheels includes calculating, using a processor, the stability parameter of the loading crane mounted on the vehicle supported on the ground by the wheels and the support elements, and comparing the magnitude of the stability parameter to at least one predetermined limit value. The calculating includes detecting contributions to a magnitude of the stability parameter of the wheels of the vehicle on which the loading crane is mounted and detecting contributions to the magnitude of the stability parameter of the support elements of the vehicle on which the loading crane is mounted.

18. A device for monitoring a stability parameter of a loading crane mounted on a vehicle, wherein during crane operation the vehicle is supported on the ground by one or more wheels and by one or more support elements separate from the wheels, and wherein there is a predetermined minimum number of wheels and support elements by which the vehicle must be supported, the device comprising:
-
wheel and support element measuring devices configured to detect contributions of the wheels and also contributions of the support elements to the magnitude of the stability parameter; and a control and regulating unit, to which measured signals of the wheel and support element measuring devices are sent, wherein the control and regulating unit calculates a magnitude of the stability parameter and compares the magnitude of the stability parameter to at least one predetermined limit value. - View Dependent Claims (19, 20, 21, 22, 23, 24, 25, 26, 27)
