Abstract
A device to control the dynamic stability of an industrial vehicle, where the chassis of the aforesaid vehicle is fitted with a pair of axles (10′, 10″), extending from each of which are booms (12, 13, 12′, 13′), fitted to the ends of which are articulated steering pivots (14, 15, 14′15′) of the wheels of the aforesaid vehicle and where interposed between the axle (11) and the frame (16) of the aforesaid industrial vehicle are hydraulic cylinders (17, 17′, 18, 18′), said control device providing that each hydraulic cylinder (17, 17′, 18, 18′) is associated with pressure transducers capable of indicating the loads weighing instantaneously on each wheel hub, thus permitting, by means of appropriate data processing, detection of the condition of stability of the vehicle, said pressure transducers (31-34) being associated with hydraulic cylinders (17, 17′, 18, 18′) so as to operate in real time to provide the initial data to process the conditions of stability on which to base the control of vehicle stability.
