Operator guidance for the use of a fork carriage in combination with a tiltrotator

A control system for a work machine for the use of a fork carriage with forks in combination with a tiltrotator, the tiltrotator comprising an upper part arranged to be mounted to a work arm of the work machine and a lower part that is pivotally connected to the upper part, wherein the control system is configured to be activated when the fork carriage is mounted on the lower part of the tiltrotator, the control system being characterised in that it includes:

• an inclinometer configured to be arranged on the lower part of the tiltrotator for sensing the orientation of the lower part with respect to gravity, and
• a control unit arranged to gather information from the inclinometer and to relate said information to the orientation of the forks of the fork carriage wherein the control unit is connectable to a display unit configured to be arranged in an operator's cabin of the work machine the display unit being configured to illustrate the current orientation of the forks of the fork carriage based on information from the inclinometer to assist the operator in keeping the forks of the fork carriage level with respect to gravity.
