TLDR
This system uses multiple sensors such as boom angle sensor, boom length sensor for telescopic booms, pressure transducers for measuring the load, anti-two block switch and roller switches to calculate the safe working load range for that particular configuration of the crane.
Abstract
Load moment limiters or safe load control systems or are very important in crane safety. The system detects the moment of lifting load and compares this actual moment with the rated moment. The system uses multiple sensors such as boom angle sensor, boom length sensor for telescopic booms, pressure transducers for measuring the load, anti-two block switch and roller switches. The system works both on rubber and on outriggers. The sensors measure the boom extension, boom angle and load to give as inputs to the central processing, which calculate the safe working load range for that particular configuration of the crane and compare it with the predetermined safe load. If the load exceeds the safe load, actions will be taken which will reduce the load moment, which is boom telescopic retraction and boom lifting. Anti-two block switch is used to prevent the two blocking condition. The system is calibrated and load tested for at most precision.

Load-monitoring system for boom-type crane

TL;DR: In this article, a memory aboard a boom-type crane stores the coefficients of several polynomials of at least the fifth order closely approximating respective curves giving the maximum permissible load for different boom lengths as a function of the elevational angle of the boom.

Alarm system to prevent the overturning of truck cranes considering possible ground failure

TL;DR: In this paper, the authors designed an alarm system to prevent the overturning of truck cranes under condition of ground failure, where the ground response under the outrigger pontoon of a truck crane is expressed by a kind of Weibul distribution curve and the degree of danger is formulated by the ratio of the loading stress to the estimated bearing capacity.
