A method for controlling a load-handling crane, to the load-bearing means of which a handling device is secured, wherein a sensor system ascertains position data of a part secured to the load-bearing means, and a controller is connected to the sensor system in a signal-transmitting manner and is configured to specify, on the basis of the position data, a travel direction for a control command, generated by the controller, for at least one travel drive of the crane, in particular a trolley drive and/or a crane drive. The aim of the invention is to increase efficiency and ergonomics during load-handling operation. This aim is achieved in that at least one identification feature is attached to the handling device, and the at least one marking element is detected by the sensor system, and is analyzed. The invention also relates to a load-handling crane configured to perform such a method.
