The invention refers to a device for carrying a milking member, which includes four teatcups () and is connectable to a milking machine () via a flexible conduit member (). A support element () is fixedly mounted at a milking box () for an animal to be milked and positioned with the head at the front. An arm arrangement () is pivotably connected to the support element and arranged to support partly the milking member during milking of the animal when the teatcups are applied to a respective teat. The arm arrangement () is movable from a first position beside the animal to a second position below the animal. The arm arrangement is fixedly connected to the flexible conduit member () at a distance from the milking member in such a way that the milking member is partly movable in relation to the arm arrangement. The device includes a force-generating member for generating, during milking, a force acting on the arm arrangement in a forward direction (x). This force is transferred to the teatcup via the conduit member.
