Abstract
A system and a method are disclosed for stabilization of a mast () on a moving carrier, for example a vehicle. An actuator device (') is connected to the mast and allows the mast () to pivot with its longitudinal direction relative to the carrier (), about at least one pivoting axis. A mast sensor device determines the position of the mast () relative to a predetermined absolute spatial direction, and supplies this to an electronic control device, which compares the position of the mast with a predetermined set value and derives a manipulated variable for the actuator device from this, in order to stabilize the longitudinal direction of the mast. A securing device () blocks the mast if a predetermined acceleration value is exceeded.
