Abstract
The present invention relates to a crane with a height-adjustably mounted control or personnel stand that can be lifted and lowered by at least two lifting elements, wherein the two lifting elements are articulated to a balancing rocker that is mounted on a rocker bearing head connected to the control or personnel stand so as to be luffable about a horizontal pivot axis, wherein a monitoring and/or safety device is provided to monitor and/or ensure the safety of the control stand. According to the invention, the pivot axis is configured as a measurement axis for detecting the load state of the luffable bearing of the balancing rocker and for providing a load signal to the monitoring and/or safety device.
