A pneumatic load balancing system comprises a pressure sensor for determining the pressure in a chamber of the actuating cylinder, and a controller for controlling the air pressure in the chamber of the actuating cylinder via at least one air supply valve. The controller is configured to during a load balancing sequence continuously or periodically obtain a current air pressure in the chamber from the pressure sensor when supplying air to the chamber via said at least one air supply and to determine a balancing air pressure in the chamber when, if air fed to the chamber, the air pressure stops increasing or when the gradient of the pressure increase is below a pre-determined threshold value; or if the air pressure is let out from the chamber, the air pressure starts to decrease. The balancing air pressure thus determined is then used as the balancing air pressure for the actuating cylinder of the pneumatic load balancing system. Hereby an automatic setting of the air pressure required for load balancing can be achieved. The user does then not need to manually feed the required air-pressure and the system will use the correct air-pressure and mistakes in setting of the air pressure can be avoided.
