  • Patent number: 7546763
    Abstract: The mobility of a vehicle having first and second pairs of diagonally opposite wheels is extended when the pressure on a given wheel is abnormally low. A load on the first pair of wheels defines a first load diagonal, and a load on the second pair of wheels defines a second load diagonal. A disequilibrium between the first and second load diagonals is induced by actuation of a level corrector comprised of at least two actuators each acting on a respective side of the vehicle, for reducing a load borne by said given wheel and thereby extending the mobility thereof.
