Abstract: Stabilizer device for an operating machine, having a chassis with a pair of stabilizer means associated to one of two opposite ends thereof. They include two stabilizer arms constrained to be symmetric with respect to a vertical middle plane and equipped with feet for resting on the ground. Each stabilizer arm includes a first, straight segment bound with one first end to the chassis and one second segment hinged to the second end of the first segment. The first and second segments are aimed at being mutually positioned in a retracted position (R) in which the encumbrance of said stabilizer arm remains within the operating machine maximum size limits, and an extended, in-operation position (L), in which the related resting foot is in contact with the ground. The axes of both first segments of said pair are included in the same plane, that is perpendicular to the middle plane.
