Abstract
A shovel includes a lower traveling body, an upper turning body mounted on the lower traveling body, an excavation attachment attached to the upper turning body, a posture detecting device configured to detect the posture of the excavation attachment, an instability detecting device configured to detect information on the instability of the upper turning body due to an excavation load, and a processor configured to correct the posture of the excavation attachment. The processor is configured to open an arm or a bucket of the excavation attachment in response to determining, based on the outputs of the posture detecting device and the instability detecting device, that the excavation load during deep excavation is more than or equal to a predetermined value.
