The knitting machine is clamped to a support section which is pivotally supported on the main support frame for rotation about a substantially horizontal axis for tilting the machine from one operating position to another. The support section consists of two parts extending from either end of the main support frame and interconnected by a common pivot axle with means to clamp the axle in any desired position.
