Abstract:
1. A method for determining the admissible load capacity of a crane, in which the load capacity is determined in dependence on at least one first and one second parameter, the method comprising: a first step in which the load capacity is determined for a value of the first parameter with different values of the second parameter by calculation or by interpolation or extrapolation on the basis of known values of the load capacity with specific values of the first parameter; and a second step in which a determination of the load capacity for a value of the second parameter is performed on the basis of values of the load capacity determined in the first step for different values of the second parameter by calculation or by interpolation or extrapolation, wherein the first and second parameters are parameters which influence the admissible load capacity of the crane, wherein values of the first and second parameters are arbitrary freely selectable values within a range, wherein the first and second steps are performed by a unit of the crane to determine the admissible load capacity of the crane, and wherein the admissible load capacity of the crane is a load capacity that is safe in operation and wherein at least one of the parameters is detected by a sensor.
