There is disclosed a method of preventing overturning of a roller crane (10, 100), the roller crane comprising a truck (12), a trailer (14) extending from the truck along a longitudinal axis and seated on at least two wheel-axles (18) with wheels (40), and a crane (20) mounted to the trailer to move along the longitudinal axis of the trailer. The method comprises monitoring a stability parameter with at least one stability sensor (30), the stability parameter relating to tilting of at least one of the wheel-axles or a load distribution on the wheels of at least one wheel-axle, and identifying whether the roller crane is at risk of overturning based on the stability parameter. It further comprises generating an output if it is determined that the roller crane is at risk of overturning. There is also disclosed a system for preventing overturning of a roller crane comprising a stability module (34).
