A container-handling vehicle for picking up storage containers from a three-dimensional grid of an underlying storage system includes a vehicle body and at least one lifting device with a lifting frame with gripper elements for releasable connection to a storage container, and a transmitter for communicating instructions for controlling the gripper elements. The lifting frame includes a first rechargeable power supply for supplying energy to the gripper elements. The container handling vehicle has at least one second rechargeable power supply configured to charging the first rechargeable power supply when the lifting frame is in a top most position. The at least one second rechargeable power supply is connected to at least one upper charger connector and the first rechargeable power supply is connected to at least one lower charger connector. The at least one lower charger connector is attached to the upper side of the horizontal lifting frame and is connected to the first rechargeable power supply.

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.
