Offenbart sind ein Verfahren zum Ansteuern eines Hubwerks und ein Hubwerk (2), das nach einem derartigen Verfahren ansteuerbar ist. Das Hubwerk hat einen hydraulisch verstellbaren Oberlenker (12), der wahlweise manuell, in Druck- oder in Längenregelung verstellbar ist.Lifting/hoisting gear (2) has a lower guide-rod system (30) adjusted by an electro-hydraulic control system along with a hydraulic upper guide-rod (12), the length of which can be adjusted through triggering via a control circuit for the upper guide-rod so as to adjust a desired position for a device installed in the lifting/hoisting gear. The control circuit for the upper guide-rod makes it possible to regulate pressure and/or length by relying on pressure active on a hydraulic drive mechanism or on the length of the hydraulic upper guide-rod. An independent claim is also included for lifting/hoisting gear on mobile equipment like a tractor with a lower guide-rod system adjusted by an electro-hydraulic control system for lifting/hoisting gear and an upper guide-rod adjusted by a control circuit for the upper guide-rod.
