A method for closed-loop control of a movement of a load in a working space of a load transport means by means of a control means of the load transport means, wherein the load transport means has a load carrier and at least one load pickup device which is fastened to the load carrier for picking up the load, and at least three positioning cables (6a, 6b, 6c, 6d) and at least three suspension devices arranged spaced apart from each other, wherein each suspension device has at least one positioning cable winch for winding and unwinding one of the positioning cables (6a, 6b, 6c, 6d), and the load carrier is suspended from the suspension devices by means of the positioning cables (6a, 6b, 6c, 6d), wherein the load carrier and the load pickup device which is fastened thereto are displaceable in and/or over the working space by actuating the positioning cable winches, the method comprising the following steps: - acquiring target coordinates, which are currently to be set, of a target point in the working space towards which the load pickup device is to be moved; - determining a load measured value by measuring the weight of the load picked up on the load pickup device by means of a load measurement means of the load transport means; - determining the actual cable lengths of the positioning cables (6a, 6b, 6c, 6d); - ascertaining the desired cable lengths of the positioning cables (6a, 6b, 6c, 6d) which are to be set by the respective positioning cable winch by winding or unwinding for the target coordinates of the target point which are currently to be set, and for the current load measured value; - adapting the actual cable lengths of the respective positioning cables (6a, 6b, 6c, 6d) to the desired cable lengths of the respective positioning cables (6a, 6b, 6c, 6d) which are to be set by actuating the respective positioning cable winch by means of a cable-length regulation means of the control means and winding or unwinding the respective positioning cables (6a, 6b, 6c, 6d); characterised in that the control means has a database in which a large number of data sets are stored, with a pre-calculated desired cable length being stored in each data set for predefined target coordinates of a predefined target point and for a predefined load value for one of the positioning cables (6a, 6b, 6c, 6d) in each case, and the desired cable lengths of the positioning cables (6a, 6b, 6c, 6d) which are to be set by the respective positioning cable winch are ascertained by the control means by querying the database in that for each of the positioning cables (6a, 6b, 6c, 6d) at least one data set matching the target coordinates of the target point which are currently to be set and the current load measured value is searched in the database by the control means, and the desired cable length of the respective positioning cable (6a, 6b, 6c, 6d) which is to be set is determined on the basis of the pre-calculated desired cable length of the at least one matching data set. - acquiring target coordinates, which are currently to be set, of a target point in the working space towards which the load pickup device is to be moved; - determining a load measured value by measuring the weight of the load picked up on the load pickup device by means of a load measurement means of the load transport means; - determining the actual cable lengths of the positioning cables (6a, 6b, 6c, 6d); - ascertaining the desired cable lengths of the positioning cables (6a, 6b, 6c, 6d) which are to be set by the respective positioning cable winch by winding or unwinding for the target coordinates of the target point which are currently to be set, and for the current load measured value; - adapting the actual cable lengths of the respective positioning cables (6a, 6b, 6c, 6d) to the desired cable lengths of the respective positioning cables (6a, 6b, 6c, 6d) which are to be set by actuating the respective positioning cable winch by means of a cable-length regulation means of the control means and winding or unwinding the respective positioning cables (6a, 6b, 6c, 6d);
