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.
