The invention describes a load guiding arrangement realized for mounting to a crane. The load guiding arrangement comprises a number of load guides, wherein a load guide comprises a guide wire extending from a lower level of the crane to an upper level of the crane; a bridging connector realized to bridge a gap between the guide wire and a control wire, which bridging connector is free to travel along the guide wire and the control wire according to a vertical displacement of a load; the control wire extending from a lower level of the crane, through the bridging connector to a lifting connector for connecting to the load, and through the bridging connector again to an upper level of the crane. The invention further describes a crane realized for lifting a heavy load, which comprises a lifting wire for connecting to the load to be lifted; a lifting wire winch for controlling tension in the lifting wire; the load guiding arrangement; and a lifting connector for connecting a control wire of a load guide to the load.
