Device for the hand-guided movement of loads

A device (10) for the hand-guided movement of loads by means of a retaining or gripping element (11) attached, as a lifting aid, to a load-bearing rope (2),

• with a load-bearing apparatus (1) which comprises a cantilever (3) over which the load-bearing rope (2) is guided from sides of a rope winding device (4) arranged on a load-bearing apparatus by means of an adjustable rope articulation point (5), wherein a length of the load-bearing rope (2) can be adjusted with the rope winding device (4), characterized in that a sensor (6) is provided for measuring a rope angle of the load-bearing rope (2) relative to the vertical, and in that a controller that works together with the sensor (6) is provided, and is set up so as to bring about simultaneously a shifting of the adjustable rope articulation point (5) and a change in the rope length of the load-bearing rope (2) as a function of the rope angle measured with the sensor (6).
