Definitions

  • the present invention relates to the field of machines for working at height, in particular, a machine for lifting equipment and people who have to carry out a maintenance operation in an operated railway environment.
  • a work machine at height 100 conventionally comprises a frame 102 equipped with displacement members 103 on the ground S (wheels, tracks, axle, etc.) and at least one working member 104 adapted to extend in height for example, to act on equipment E located at height (catenary, etc.).
  • the working member 104 is movable relative to the frame 102 in order to tilt, turn or bend to reach the desired height point.
  • the working member 104 extends cantilevered and it is important to guarantee the stability of the working machine 100 when moving the working member 104 in order to avoid tilting and overturning of the work machine 100. This is all the more critical as the work member 104 can include at its upper end a nacelle accommodating operators.
  • a tolerance range ⁇ is in a known manner represented by a so-called stability polygon.
  • the aim of the invention is therefore to eliminate at least some of these drawbacks by proposing a new type of machine for working at height.

  • a dynamic displacement of the ballast allows the center of gravity of the chassis to be shifted.
  • the overhang of the working member can be compensated by adapting the position of the center of gravity.
  • This advantageously makes it possible to increase the working angular range of the working member and to avoid the use of stabilizing legs or the use of specific machinery for each task to be performed.
  • stabilization is obtained "internally" without increasing the dimensions of the work machine.
