Abstract
Described is a self-propelled operating machine (1) equipped with stabilizers which comprise a front stabilizing unit (2), mounted on a chassis (100) of the machine (1), which is movable on wheels and is fitted with a driver's cab (12) for an operator (O). The stabilizing unit (2) comprises a supporting frame (24) and two stabilizing arms (21, 22, 23), each of which includes a first segment (21) hinged to the frame (24) by a pin (25) located at a lower side of the first segment (21).
Claims8
A self-propelled operating machine (1) equipped with stabilizers which comprise at least a front stabilizing unit (2), mounted on a chassis (100) of said machine (1), which is movable on wheels and is fitted with a driver's cab (12) for an operator (O), wherein said stabilizing unit (2) comprises a supporting frame (24) and two stabilizing arms (21, 22, 23), each of which includes a first segment (21) hinged to said frame (24) by means of a pin (25) located at a lower side of said first segment (21);
- wherein the above-mentioned first segment (21) is also hinged at an end of a first linear actuator (3) designed to rotate the first segment (21) about the first pin (25) to allow the lowering or the raising of the respective stabilizing arm (21, 22, 23);
- wherein each first actuator (3) is connected, by a second hinge (31), to the supporting structure (24) and, through a third hinge (32), to the first segment (21) of the respective arm (21, 22, 23);
- wherein the first and the third hinges (25, 32) are positioned in two distinct points of the length of the first segment (21), the first hinge (25) being closer to a proximal end of the first segment (21) and the third hinge (32) closer to a distal end thereof;
- wherein the stabilizing arms (21, 22, 23) are movable between a raised position, in which they are distanced from the ground and lowered operating positions, in which they rest on the ground;
- characterized in that, in said raised operating position of the stabilizing arms (21, 22, 23), the first actuators (3) are arranged oblique with respect to a plane parallel to a ground, so as to form with said plane an angle greater than zero and less than thirty-five degrees.
