The invention relates to a crane installation with a crane and a crab with a perpendicular guide column for a load-lifting means vertically movable on the guide column. So that the positions can be approached with extreme accuracy when picking up or setting down loads without persons being required to control the movements, it is proposed that an aiming device directed towards the load to be picked up control a correcting drive for the load-lifting means horizontally displaceable on the guide column.
