Vertical lifting arrangement for construction machine

A lifting arrangement for a construction machine having a frame arrangement including a front frame portion and a rear frame portion, the lifting arrangement being mountable to the front frame portion, the lifting arrangement comprising:

• a main arm provided with a pivot connector at a proximate end thereof and an equipment connector at a distal end thereof;
• and
• a main arm support means for pivotably supporting the pivot connector of the main arm, wherein the main arm support means is movable in a direction which includes at least a component in a front-rear direction with respect to the frame arrangement;
• wherein the lifting arrangement is configured such that the equipment connector, upon pivoting the main arm between a lowered position and a lifted position, follows a substantially vertical path;
• the lifting arrangement further comprising:
• a tilting arrangement for tilting an equipment mounted to the equipment connector of the main arm, the tilting arrangement comprising a kinematic chain for attachment to a tilting connector of the equipment mounted to the equipment connector of the main arm, a tilting actuator, and a connector connecting the kinematic chain and the tilting actuator,
• wherein the kinematic chain is positioned above the main arm in the lowered position and the tilting actuator is positioned below the main arm in the lowered position, and
• wherein the kinematic chain comprises a tilting link and a connecting link pivotably connected to each other.
