Abstract

An operating device includes a crane controller for controlling actuators of the loading crane and for generating sensor data based on the sensor signals, and an input device spatially separated from the crane controller for inputting control commands for the crane controller. The crane controller has a first telecommunications device for exchanging data signals with the input device, and the data signals output by the crane controller include sensor data. The input device has a second telecommunications device for exchanging data signals including control commands with the first telecommunications device. The input device has a transmitter device for outputting data signals. A signaling device is spatially separated from the input device, and has a receiver device for receiving data signals output by the transmitter device and a display device for displaying audio data and/or image data. The signaling device signals the audio data and/or image data to a user.
