Abstract
The present relates to a method and system for controlling an inclination of a boom with respect to a vehicle. A central frame member allows a pivotal movement of the boom with respect to the vehicle. Sensors collect data related to an inclination of the central frame member with respect to the vehicle. Control means control the inclination of the central frame member with respect to the vehicle. An electronic control unit actuates the control means based on the collected data. The control means may comprise breaking means for preventing a variation of the inclination of the central frame member, and adjustment means for modifying the inclination of the central frame member.
