Patent Summary
An automatic levelling system for a load-lifting work machine comprises multiple outriggers, each featuring an extensible thrust element for ground stabilization. The system includes an activating apparatus to regulate thrust element extension based on command signals, an electronic inclination measuring device associated with a machine reference element, and a processing unit. This unit contains a levelling module that generates command signals based on measured inclination. Crucially, the system incorporates one or more rest sensors to detect whether machine wheels are grounded or raised. The processing unit includes an enabling module that activates or disables the levelling module based on these grounded signals, ensuring the levelling process is conditioned upon the contact status of the wheels with the ground surface.
