A lifting arrangement for a construction machine is provided which includes a main arm (3) which is provided with a pivot connector (4). The pivot connector (4) is pivotably supported on a main arm support means (6). The main arm support means (6) is moveable in a direction which includes at least a component in the front-rear direction with respect to a frame arrangement of a construction machine to which the lifting arrangement can be applied. Based on a control of a main arm actuating element (11) and an auxiliary actuating element (21), a path of an equipment connector (5) upon moving said main arm (3) between a lowered position and a lifted position can be achieved which follows a predetermined path.
