Abstract

The invention provides a load measurement in a crane hoist system. A parameter adaptation process uses a model of the system in order to measure the lifted load. A controller monitors hoist speed and hoist torque feedbacks that are input into the model and processed using a filter, as well as a previously determined load value. The model adapts automatically to determine the weight of the lifted load.
