In a method for determining a load that is lifted or to be lifted by a hydraulic lifting device, for the determining the load lifted or to be lifted, in a reference phase, the lifting device is moved into a reference position in a first loading state of the lifting device. A first detection of the forces currently acting on the lifting device and the current geometry of the lifting device occurs in the reference position. In a measurement phase, the lifting device is moved into a measurement position in a second loading state, and a second detection of the forces currently acting on the lifting device and the current geometry of the lifting device occurs in the measurement position. In a comparison phase, the lifted load is characterized by a comparison of the respective detected forces currently acting on the lifting device and the respective detected current geometry of the lifting device.

Method for determining a load, controller for a hydraulic lifting device for carrying out a method of this type

An operating device includes a crane controller for controlling actuators of the loading crane and for generating sensor data based on the sensor signals, and an input device spatially separated from the crane controller for inputting control commands for the crane controller. The crane controller has a first telecommunications device for exchanging data signals with the input device, and the data signals output by the crane controller include sensor data. The input device has a second telecommunications device for exchanging data signals including control commands with the first telecommunications device. The input device has a transmitter device for outputting data signals. A signaling device is spatially separated from the input device, and has a receiver device for receiving data signals output by the transmitter device and a display device for displaying audio data and/or image data. The signaling device signals the audio data and/or image data to a user.
