Abstract (en)

The invention relates to a hydraulic system for a wheeled loader having a loader arm assembly, which is connected to the wheeled loader at a first end and carries a working implement at a second end, and which loader arm is movable between raised and lowered positions by means of a hydraulic cylinder (5), wherein a hydraulic accumulator means (18, 19) is connected to the hydraulic cylinder (5) to provide a suspension arrangement for the hydraulic cylinder (5). Each chamber of the hydraulic cylinder (5) is connected to a selection valve means (9) via conduits adapted to supply fluid under pressure to raise or lower the loader arm assembly. The hydraulic system is provided with a number of valves for preventing any unintentional downward movement of the lift arm assembly due to a sudden loss of pressure in the supply conduit or a slow leak through the selection valve means (9). The invention further relates to a wheeled loader provided with such a hydraulic system.
