Abstract

The present invention relates to lifting gear comprising a hoist rope, on which a load-receiving means is provided for receiving and lifting a load, and a determining device for determining slack rope on the hoist rope, wherein the aforementioned determining device comprises an inclination sensor system for detecting an inclination and/or a tilt rate and/or a tilt acceleration of the load-receiving means and provides a slack-rope signal if the detected inclination and/or tilt rate and/or tilt acceleration of the load-receiving means exceeds a predetermined limit value.
