1. Support apparatus (10) equipped with:

  • a support foot (15,15

    ) of hydraulic kind that comprises;

    a cylinder (25) equipped with a cavity (40) axially shaped that has a longitudinal axis Z,a piston (45) slidably received in a sealed manner in the cavity (40) so as to divide said cavity into a first chamber (50) and a second chamber (55),a stem (70) provided with a first end fixedly connected to the piston (45) and a second end that protrudes from the cylinder (25),a base (80) fixed to the second end of the stem, andan actuation group (85) of the support foot (80) configured to selectively send a pressurised work fluid to the first chamber (50) or to the second chamber (55) so as to change the relative position of the base (80) with respect to the cylinder (25),said support apparatus (10) being characterised in that it comprises;

    a position sensor (130) configured to monitor the value of a parameter indicative of the position of the base (80) with respect to a reference element fixedly connected to the cylinder (25), andan electronic control unit (125), electrically connected to said position sensor (130), which is configured to transmit the value of the indicative parameter monitored by the position sensor (130) to a remote device and to control the activation of the actuation group (85) of the support foot (15,15

    ) as a function of an activation signal and the value of the indicative parameter.
