Handling machine comprising a manually operable control device

Abstract

The invention relates to a handling machine comprising a telescopic lifting arm and a handling device that pivots between an emptying position and a digging position; a processing unit and a control device (16) comprising a control body (160) that is manually operable to generate a control signal for pivoting the arm by pivoting the control body about a first axis (A1). A control member (17) that is operable using the thumb of the hand of the operator is located on one side of the control body and is mounted so as to pivot or slide about or along a second pivot or slide axis (A2) to generate a control signal for controlling the sliding of the second segment of the arm. The control member is also movably mounted so as to pivot or slide about or along a third pivot or slide axis (A3) to control the pivoting of the handling device.
