The invention relates to a method for operating conveyor means and to a control unit (10) for conveyor means, in particular hoisting gear, cranes, gantry cranes, container cranes or the like, the conveyor means comprising a drive unit (11) and a control unit for controlling the drive unit, a carriage of the conveyor means being moved along a rail (12) of the conveyor means by means of the drive unit, the control unit being controlled by means of a control device (13) of the control unit, a rotary encoder (16) of the control unit being connected to a shaft (18) of the drive unit or of a measuring wheel of the carriage and registering a rotation of the shaft, a rotation angle signal and/or a rotational speed signal being transmitted to the control device by means of an encoder device (17) of the rotary encoder in order to determine an assumed position of the carriage on the rail. At least one position signal is detected by means of a sensor apparatus (14) of a safety device of the control unit disposed on the carriage and the rail, a real position of the carriage on the rail being determined using the position signal by means of a safety apparatus (25) of the safety device, the assumed position being corrected according to the real position by means of the safety device.
