Abstract

The invention provides a device for indicating the maximum permissible loads of a lifting appliance wherein a series of potentiometers are adjusted according to the variation of one parameter and control another potentiometer which is adjusted according to a second parameter, and means for assigning reference voltages to the series of potentiometers which means comprise, for each tapping, a series of polarisation circuits in parallel, each circuit providing a regulated voltage and controlled by a switch defining the instantaneous position of operation and simultaneously controlling all the polarisation circuits.
