The invention describes a support apparatus 10 equipped with a support foot 15,15' of hydraulic type that comprises: a cylinder 25 equipped with a cavity 40 axially shaped that has a longitudinal axis Z, a piston 45 slidably received in a sealed manner in the cavity 40 so as to divide said cavity into a first chamber 50 and a second chamber 55, a stem 70 provided with a first end fixedly connected to the piston 45 and a second end that protrudes from the cylinder 25, a base 80 fixed to the second end of the stem, and an actuation group 85 of the support foot 80 configured to selectively send a pressurised work fluid to the first chamber 50 or to the second chamber 55 so as to change the relative position of the base 80 with respect to the cylinder 25. Where said support apparatus 10 comprises: a position sensor 130 configured to monitor the value of a parameter indicative of the position of the base 80 with respect to a reference element fixedly connected to the cylinder 25, and an electronic control unit 125, electrically connected to said position sensor 130, which is configured to transmit the value of the indicative parameter monitored by the position sensor 130 to a remote device and to control the activation of the actuation group 85 of the support foot 15,15' as a function of an activation signal and the value of the indicative parameter.
