Method of Determining Whether a Frame of a Work Machine is Approaching a Tip Over Point

摘要

The present disclosure relates to a method of determining whether a frame of a work machine is approaching a tip over point. First and second loads upon respective first and second support arrangements of the frame are detected using respective first and second sensing means. Signals are generated indicative of the first and second loads and communicated to a controller. The controller is configured to generate an alert based upon the first and second loads when the first and/or second load signals indicate that the orientation of the work machine is approaching a tip over point.

1. A method of determining whether a frame of a work machine is approaching a tip over point, the frame comprising first and second support arrangements each supporting a portion of the load of the frame on a surface, the method comprising the steps of:
detecting a first load upon the first support arrangement using first sensing means and detecting a second load upon the second support arrangement using second sensing means; generating signals indicative of the first and second loads; communicating the signals to a controller; and wherein the controller is configured to generate an alert based upon the first and second loads when the first and/or second load signals indicate that the orientation of the work machine is approaching a tip over point.
