Device for controlling the ground clearance of an airship equipped with two lateral anchoring points, said control device comprising: - a frame comprising a ground connection interface, on which a weight is fixed, - two rigid arms (506, 508), each of the arms having a so-called proximal end articulated on the frame and a so-called distal end, - a means for moving the distal end of each of the arms between a so-called retention position, in which each distal end is intended to be in contact with one of said lateral anchoring ends of the airship, said to be associated with said distal end, and a so-called unlocked position, in which there is no contact between the airship and the device, - means for detachably fixing, in the retention position, the relevant distal end of each of the arms on the associated relevant lateral anchoring point, the ground connection interface comprising wheels mounted on the frame and the orientation of which can be modified, characterized in that each of the arms (506, 508) has an A-shaped configuration formed by two main beams (506a, 506b) forming the lateral branches of the A, connected together at a vertex (506s, 508s) and connected together by a third beam (506c, 508c) forming the horizontal branch of the A, two proximal ends (506p1, 506p2, 508p1, 508p2) of an arm being arranged at the bottom of the two lateral branches of the A and articulated on the frame, the distal end of the arm being arranged at the vertex of the A, thus defining an axis of rotation of the arm on the frame in the direction formed by the two proximal ends, and in that the third beams (506c, 508c) of each of the arms (506, 508) are equipped with wheels (506r, 508r). - a frame comprising a ground connection interface, on which a weight is fixed, - two rigid arms (506, 508), each of the arms having a so-called proximal end articulated on the frame and a so-called distal end, - a means for moving the distal end of each of the arms between a so-called retention position, in which each distal end is intended to be in contact with one of said lateral anchoring ends of the airship, said to be associated with said distal end, and a so-called unlocked position, in which there is no contact between the airship and the device, - means for detachably fixing, in the retention position, the relevant distal end of each of the arms on the associated relevant lateral anchoring point, the ground connection interface comprising wheels mounted on the frame and the orientation of which can be modified, characterized in that each of the arms (506, 508) has an A-shaped configuration formed by two main beams (506a, 506b) forming the lateral branches of the A, connected together at a vertex (506s, 508s) and connected together by a third beam (506c, 508c) forming the horizontal branch of the A, two proximal ends (506p1, 506p2, 508p1, 508p2) of an arm being arranged at the bottom of the two lateral branches of the A and articulated on the frame, the distal end of the arm being arranged at the vertex of the A, thus defining an axis of rotation of the arm on the frame in the direction formed by the two proximal ends, and in that the third beams (506c, 508c) of each of the arms (506, 508) are equipped with wheels (506r, 508r). the ground connection interface comprising wheels mounted on the frame and the orientation of which can be modified, characterized in that each of the arms (506, 508) has an A-shaped configuration formed by two main beams (506a, 506b) forming the lateral branches of the A, connected together at a vertex (506s, 508s) and connected together by a third beam (506c, 508c) forming the horizontal branch of the A, two proximal ends (506p1, 506p2, 508p1, 508p2) of an arm being arranged at the bottom of the two lateral branches of the A and articulated on the frame, the distal end of the arm being arranged at the vertex of the A, thus defining an axis of rotation of the arm on the frame in the direction formed by the two proximal ends, and in that the third beams (506c, 508c) of each of the arms (506, 508) are equipped with wheels (506r, 508r).
