Estimating the term…
The invention relates to a concrete pump, comprising: —a frame; —a supporting leg, the supporting leg having a supporting foot, the supporting foot being extensible relative to the supporting leg; and—a drive for driving a movement of the supporting leg relative to the frame. A camera image of a hazard zone around the supporting leg is produced by a monitoring sensor. The drive is controlled by means of a remote control. The data information is transferred to the remote control via an interface. The invention also relates to a method for supporting a concrete pump. On the basis of the received data information, it can be determined, by means of the remote control, whether the movement of the supporting leg causes a hazard.

A concrete pump comprising:
The concrete pump of claim 1, wherein the remote control is equipped with an indicator unit for indicating the data information received.
The concrete pump of claim 1, wherein the at least one monitoring sensor comprises monitoring sensors connected to the frame or to a boom of the concrete pump.
The concrete pump of claim 1, wherein the at least one monitoring sensor comprises a plurality of monitoring sensors.
The concrete pump of claim 1, wherein the remote control is formed as a portable operating unit.
The concrete pump of claim 1, wherein the remote control comprises an operating element with which a movement of the supporting leg is actuated.
The concrete pump of claim 1, wherein said at least one monitoring sensor includes a camera and an image from the camera is transmitted to the remote control by means of the interface.
The concrete pump of claim 1, wherein the interface to the remote control is embodied as a wireless interface.
The concrete pump of claim 1, wherein the supporting leg is equipped with a collision sensor, a movement of the supporting leg being automatically brought to a stop if the collision sensor determines an impending collision.
A method for supporting a concrete pump in which a supporting leg is moved relative to a frame of the concrete pump using a drive, the supporting leg having a supporting foot deployable relative to the supporting leg, the drive being actuated by means of a remote control, and the remote control being configured that actuation of the drive is allowed only if an indicator device of the remote control is active so that data information obtained using at least one monitoring sensor from a hazard region of the supporting leg is indicated using the indicator device, wherein the at least one monitoring sensor comprises a monitoring sensor connected to the supporting leg.
