Crane systems are tremendously utilised in numerous heavy load transportation industries,
and therefore, the control of crane systems is a well-established research field. As the last …

We review crane models available in the literature, classify them, and discuss their
applications and limitations. A generalized formulation of the most widely used crane model …

This paper deals with the sliding mode control of a three-dimensional overhead crane. The
model of the crane consists of five highly nonlinear second-order ordinary differential …

The main objective of this work is to design robust, fast, and practical controllers for gantry
and tower cranes. The controllers are designed to transfer the load from point to point as fast …

In this paper a second-order data-driven Active Disturbance Rejection Control (ADRC) is
merged with a proportional-derivative Takagi-Sugeno Fuzzy (PDTSF) logic controller …

This paper presents an anti-sway and tracking control for harbor mobile cranes. The control
objective is the sway-free transportation of the crane's load taking the commands of the …

With the increasing demands of high-precision hoisting, a growing number of to-be-hoisted
large-scale heavy payloads not only need accurate positioning transportation, but …

We designed a feedback controller to automate crane operations by controlling the load
position and its swing. First, a PD tracking controller is designed to follow a prescribed …

Tower crane is one of the flexible maneuvering systems that has been applied pervasively
as a powerful big-scale construction machine. The under-actuated tower crane system has …

The present paper addresses the derivation of a 3 DOF mathematical model of a spherical
pendulum attached to a crane boom tip for uniform slewing motion of the crane. The …
