A device for operating two or more cylinders, comprising: a first conduit, provided with a first branch, arranged to be connected to a first chamber of a first cylinder, and a second branch, arranged to be connected to a first chamber of a second cylinder; a second conduit, provided with a first branch, arranged to be connected to a second chamber of the first cylinder, and a second branch, arranged to be connected to a second chamber of the second cylinder; a first control valve, arranged along the second branch of the first conduit, which is movable between an opening configuration, in which it allows flow along the second branch of the first conduit, and a closing configuration, in which it prevents flow along the second branch of the first conduit; a restriction positioned along said first branch of said second conduit and a first pilot conduit, connecting said first control valve and said first branch of said second conduit at an intermediate point between the connection to said second chamber of said first cylinder and said restriction, and piloting said control valve towards the closure configuration in which it prevents a flow along said second branch of said first conduit; characterised by: a control system, arranged along the first branch of said first conduit, comprising a second control valve which is movable between an opening configuration, in which it allows flow along the first branch of said first conduit from said first conduit to said first chamber of said first cylinder, and a closing configuration, in which it prevents flow along said first branch of said first conduit; said control system further comprising discharging means (102, 103) configured to allow a flow from said first chamber of said first cylinder into said first conduit as a result of a pressure in said second conduit or as a result of a variable derived therefrom. a first conduit, provided with a first branch, arranged to be connected to a first chamber of a first cylinder, and a second branch, arranged to be connected to a first chamber of a second cylinder; a second conduit, provided with a first branch, arranged to be connected to a second chamber of the first cylinder, and a second branch, arranged to be connected to a second chamber of the second cylinder; a first control valve, arranged along the second branch of the first conduit, which is movable between an opening configuration, in which it allows flow along the second branch of the first conduit, and a closing configuration, in which it prevents flow along the second branch of the first conduit; a restriction positioned along said first branch of said second conduit and a first pilot conduit, connecting said first control valve and said first branch of said second conduit at an intermediate point between the connection to said second chamber of said first cylinder and said restriction, and piloting said control valve towards the closure configuration in which it prevents a flow along said second branch of said first conduit; characterised by: a control system, arranged along the first branch of said first conduit, comprising a second control valve which is movable between an opening configuration, in which it allows flow along the first branch of said first conduit from said first conduit to said first chamber of said first cylinder, and a closing configuration, in which it prevents flow along said first branch of said first conduit; said control system further comprising discharging means (102, 103) configured to allow a flow from said first chamber of said first cylinder into said first conduit as a result of a pressure in said second conduit or as a result of a variable derived therefrom. a control system, arranged along the first branch of said first conduit, comprising a second control valve which is movable between an opening configuration, in which it allows flow along the first branch of said first conduit from said first conduit to said first chamber of said first cylinder, and a closing configuration, in which it prevents flow along said first branch of said first conduit; said control system further comprising discharging means (102, 103) configured to allow a flow from said first chamber of said first cylinder into said first conduit as a result of a pressure in said second conduit or as a result of a variable derived therefrom.
