Abstract

The invention relates to a method of determining changes in loads on lifting gear, whereby a change in load is determined within load curve data at a transition point of the load curve gradient, and whereby the load curve is broken down into discrete-time observation intervals at the transition points. It further relates to a method of reconstructing load situations on lifting gear, for which such a method of determining changes in load is used.
