| (54) | Method and device for limiting lifting moment of a loading crane |
| (57) The invention relates to a lorry provided with a hydraulic crane (20) and support
legs (41-44), the respective support leg being manoeuvrable by means of a force member (6) to
an active support position. An electronic regulating device (30) checks whether one
or more stability conditions are fulfilled with a lifting moment of the crane corresponding
to a maximum allowed value for the lifting moment of the crane and establishes a reduced
value for the maximum allowed lifting moment if said stability conditions are not
fulfilled, taking into account the horizontal extension length of the respective support
leg that is in the active support position, the slewing angle of the column (21) of
the crane in relation to the chassis (3) of the lorry, and the force exerted by the
force member of the respective support leg that is in the active support position
and is not included in the prevailing tipping line of the lorry.
