Abstract

A system is provided for controlling the tilting of a load-carrying implement of a movable work machine that includes a frame and the implement, pivotally connected to the frame, and a tilting arrangement for tilting the implement in relation to the frame. The system includes a control for controlling the tilting of the implement based upon a sensor-registered movement of the movable work machine, and for controlling the tilting of the implement such that the implement counteracts the inertia of a load carried by the implement.
