Abstract
A method for monitoring a stability parameter of a loading crane mounted on a vehicle supported on the ground by wheels and by support elements separate from the wheels includes calculating, using a processor, the stability parameter of the loading crane mounted on the vehicle supported on the ground by the wheels and the support elements, and comparing the magnitude of the stability parameter to at least one predetermined limit value. The calculating includes detecting contributions to a magnitude of the stability parameter of the wheels of the vehicle on which the loading crane is mounted and detecting contributions to the magnitude of the stability parameter of the support elements of the vehicle on which the loading crane is mounted.
