Abstract

The present invention relates to a remote control device for a crane, for a construction machine and/or for a pallet truck comprising a control station that has at least one input means for inputting control commands and that has a signal transmission device for transmitting the input control commands to the control apparatus of the crane, of the construction machine, or of the pallet truck; and a display apparatus for displaying a representation of the machine surroundings and/or of a piece of working equipment such as a boom or a lifting hook, wherein a movement determination unit is provided for determining movements and/or deformations of the machine components in dependence on the input control commands. It is proposed to present crane reactions or machine reactions to control commands input at the control station, for example in the form of crane movements and/or of crane deformations not only in the form of a representation on the display apparatus, but to convert them into an actual movement of the control station of the remote control accompanying the crane reaction or machine reaction to allow the remote control user to have the dynamic machine reactions communicated to h…
