A crane telescope locking device includes a control device which is hydraulically in contact with a telescoping cylinder of a crane telescope and, for the purpose of actuating, with at least one cylinder lock hydraulic cylinder and includes a valve which is open in its inactivated resting state and thus opens a fluidic connection between the telescoping cylinder and the at least one cylinder lock hydraulic cylinder. A telescoping cylinder () of a crane includes such a crane telescope locking device.

Crane telescope locking device

The invention relates to a method of determining changes in loads on lifting gear, whereby a change in load is determined within load curve data at a transition point of the load curve gradient, and whereby the load curve is broken down into discrete-time observation intervals at the transition points. It further relates to a method of reconstructing load situations on lifting gear, for which such a method of determining changes in load is used.
