A metallurgical furnace, comprising

• a furnace body,
• a trunnion ring, and
• a pedestal structure,
• wherein the furnace body is arranged for rotating movement in the trunnion ring about a rotation axis by means of a supporting arrangement between the trunnion ring and the furnace body for connecting the trunnion ring and the furnace body, wherein said supporting arrangement comprising a bearing arrangement between the trunnion ring and the furnace body for allowing for said rotating movement, and
• wherein the trunnion ring is pivotably connected to the pedestal structure for tilting movement of the furnace body about a horizontal pivoting axis,
• the supporting arrangement comprises a first connection frame means between the furnace body and the bearing arrangement, and a second connection frame means between the bearing arrangement and the trunnion ring, wherein the first connection frame means and the second connection frame means surround the furnace body,
• the first connection frame means is connected to the furnace body and to the bearing arrangement,
• the second connection frame means is connected to the bearing arrangement and to the trunnion ring, and
• the second connection frame is connected to the trunnion ring by a first attachment (9) providing for movements between the second connection frame means and the trunnion ring.
