A control stand is disclosed for controlling a crane, an excavator, a crawler, or a similar construction machine having a seat, control elements actuable from the seat for inputting control commands, a display apparatus for displaying information, and a control unit for generating adjustment signals in dependence on input control commands and/or for providing information to the display apparatus. A crane is disclosed having such a control stand that can be configured in the form of a crane operator's cabin. The control elements and/or the display apparatus of the control stand and various further auxiliary units can be individually configurable. Personal pre-settings can be saved and can be reinvoked when the control stand or the crane is to be controlled by a certain machine operator.

A remote controlled luggage handler apparatus for loading and unloading luggage from tour buses includes a carrier body having a pair of drive tracks. A multi-axis arm has a base pivot unit coupled to a body top side, a proximal segment coupled to the base pivot unit, a distal segment, and a head pivot unit. A jaw comprises a jaw support coupled to the head pivot unit, a fixed mandible coupled to the jaw support, and a sliding mandible slidably coupled to the jaw support to secure a suitcase between the fixed mandible and the sliding mandible. A CPU, a first transceiver, and a battery are coupled within the carrier body. A remote control is in operational communication with the first transceiver to control the drive tracks and the arm. A charging port is configured to be installed within a storage bay of a tour bus to charge the battery.

Disclosed is an unmanned automated hook-fastening device including a device coupler, a propulsion unit, a transmitter, a receiver, hook pliers, and an unloading transmitter. The propulsion unit adjusts the position of the hoisting unit with respect to the object, on the basis of the position signal transmitted by the transmitter and received by the receiver, and adjusts the position of the hoisting unit coupled to the object, on the basis of the position signal transmitted by the unloading transmitter and received by the receiver. It is possible to easily track the position of a hook of the object to be hoisted, automatically fasten the hook pliers to the hook, and automatically fasten the hook to a crane without a monitoring system.
