(57) The present invention is directed to a cable arrangement and lifting platform for
lifting a load in a stabilized manner. The lifting platform (12) secures loads to
a securing device and the platform (12) is able to be suspended from a crane by an
attachment carriage (11). The attachment carriage (11) includes a cable winch (23)
onto which six cables (C#SB1#,C#SB2#,C#SB3#,C#SB4#,C#SB5#,C#SB6#) suspend and attach
to the lifting platform (12). The attachment carriage (11) also includes cable guides
(G#SB1#,G#SB2#,G#SB3#) which guide the six cables away from the winch (23) in three
cable pairs (C#SB1#-C#SB2#, C#SB3#-C#SB4#, C#SB5#-C#SB6#), preferably equidistantly-spaced.
In order to secure the cables to the lifting platform (12), the platform includes
an attachment frame (41) having three cable attachment points (13, 14, 15), preferably
spaced equidistantly apart with respect to each other. The lifting platform (12) helps
stabilize the lifting of loads by sensing the load's imbalance relative to the center
of mass of the platform and repositioning the load to correct for the imbalance. In
addition, in order to precisely position the load and exert controlled forces on the
load in all six degrees of freedom, the present invention includes a device (50) for
rotating the load in a 360° angle relative to the horizontal plane, a device for adjusting
the tilt position of the load up to a 90° angle relative to the horizontal plane of
the platform, and a device (51) for rotating the load in a 360° angle about the longitudinal
axis of the load securing device.
