Earth-moving machine

An earth-moving machine is provided with a first actuating cylinder (13) for pivotably moving a lifting arm (5) around a pivot shaft (9), and with a second actuating cylinder (23), for maintaining a loading unit (18) in a pre-determined angular position during oscillation of the lifting arm (5). The first (13) and the second actuating cylinder (23) are disposed adjacent and parallel to one another, and are mechanically connected to one another in order to increase the resistance of the second actuating cylinder (23) to the load generated thereon by the lifting arm (5).
