Abstract Oscillation control of container handling is dominated by open‐loop or closed‐loop control of the crane trolley, which highly effects the crane operator's well‐being. An alternative actuating approach is presented using the hoists of the crane system. Simulation and test stand results prove the effect of modal coupling control of container handling and its capability to assure improved work environment conditions for the operator of container cranes.
