Increased stability lifting gear

A lifting gear comprising:

• a rotary tower crane or a mobile crane comprising:
• a supporting structure;
• a determination device for determining a load state and/or an operating state of the supporting structure;
• and
• a control unit for controlling actuators of the lifting gear in response to the determined load state and/or to the determined operating state,
• wherein the controlling actuators are allocated to the supporting structure for the active bracing or deformation of the supporting structure in a variable manner during lifting gear operation, and wherein the control unit is configured to temporarily and variably brace or deform the supporting structure with the actuators in response to the detected load state and/or to the detected load state operating state such that to relieve load on supporting structure parts that are subject to high load, wherein the determination device is configured to determine a wind load acting on the supporting structure, wherein the control unit is configured to shorten at least one supporting structure portion arranged on a windward side or to lengthen at least one supporting structure portion arranged on a leeward side, depending on the determined wind load, wherein the wind load comprises a wind speed and a wind direction, wherein the control unit with the actuators variably lengthens a leeward lower chord of a boom and/or leeward corner bars of a tower depending on the determined wind load or variably shortens a windward lower chord of the boom and/or windward corner bars of the tower and/or a windward tensioning element depending on the determined wind load.
