An articulated pick and carry crane includes a chassis including a front chassis portion and a rear chassis portion, a pivotal connection between the front chassis portion and rear chassis portion, a steering system configured to rotate the front chassis portion relative to the rear chassis portion about the pivotal connection, and a steering control device, configured to control at least one operating characteristic of the steering system. A load management device is provided, configured to determine a current load moment of the crane, determine whether the current load moment meets a warning condition, and control the steering control device to restrict rotation about the pivotal connection in a direction that would increase the load moment when the current load moment meets the warning condition.
