`
`The invention relates to a road-building machine whoseleft
`front wheel (4) or caterpillar, right front wheel (6) or cater-
`pillar, left rear wheel (8) or caterpillar and right rear wheel
`(10)or caterpillar are connectedto the road-building machine
`chassis by means of an actuating element and are height-
`adjustable with respect to the road-building machine frame.
`Accordingto said invention, different actuating elementsare
`rigidly connected to the road-building machine chassis and
`forcedly coupled to each other in such a waythatthe left front
`wheel (4) or caterpillar and the right rear wheel (10)orcat-
`_erpillar are height-adjustable in the samedirection and with
` Tespect to the right front wheel(6)or caterpillar andtheleft
`rear wheel (8) or caterpillar are adjustable in the opposite
`directions. The all wheels (4, 6, 8, 10) or caterpillars are
`equally height-adjustable. The
`inventive
`road-building
`machine provides a high operationalstability, the improved
`compensation of the adjustmentoflateral hindrance inclina-
`tion of the road-building machine andtheirregularities in the
`longitudinal direction thereof.
