# Apparatus and method for controlling a movement of a lifting device

## Abstract

An apparatus (100) for controlling a movement of a lifting device (1), the apparatus comprises at least one input interface (110) configured to receive inclination information (102) indicating an inclination of a load-carrying structure located at a tip of the lifting device; processing circuitry (120) configured to control a movement of the tip of the lifting device in vertical and horizontal directions, wherein the processing circuitry is configured to generate control signals (104) to trigger a movement of the tip in a horizontal direction based on the inclination information while keeping a movement of the tip in the vertical direction below a vertical movement threshold; at least one output interface (130) configured to output the control signals to actuators of the lifting device.
