Abstract (en)

Method for handling loads (6, 7) with a load handling device (2) connected to a loader (1), which load handling device comprises at least two arms (3a, 3b) with contact surfaces (4a, 4b) for contacting substantially opposite side surfaces of a load and wherein at least one of the at least two arms (3a) is movable in relation to the other arm (3b) for obtaining the clamping and release operations for the load, wherein when the load (6, 7) is clamped between the contact surfaces (4a, 4b) the distance and/or position of the arms (3a, 3b) in relation to each other or in relation to the handled load is defined, and during releasing of the load the movement and/or position of the arms in relation to each other or in relation to the handled load is measured, and once defined distance and/or position between the arms or in relation to the handled load is reached, a signal indicating safe movement of the loader (1) is issued.
