Abstract (en)

[origin: EP3889095A1] A crane (1) comprising a movable arm (2), and a tool (9) provided at an end of the movable arm (2). The crane (1) comprises a control system configured to a) detect a first condition in which the tool (9) is in a holding position and the movable arm (2) is in an unloaded condition in which it is not actively lifting an object held by said tool (9), b) registering a first point of time at which the first condition is obtained and counting a period of time (t) from the first point of time, and, c) when the counted period of time (t) exceeds a threshold value (t<sub>threshold</sub>), activating a safe operation mode in the control system which prevents a first hydraulic device (3, 4, 5) from moving the movable arm (2), said safe operation mode being deactivatable by an actuation of a second hydraulic valve for controlling the holding position of the tool (9).
