CHASSIS OF A FORWARD CONTROL TRUCK WITH A TILTABLE CAB

摘要

The present invention relates to a chassis (10) of a forward control truck with a tiltable cab, comprising a frame (12) with two longitudinal members (14, 16), at least one traverse member (28) extending between the longitudinal members, a cooler suspension for supporting a cooler at the front end of the frame, and a cab suspension (34) for supporting a cab above the front end of the frame. This chassis is characterized by a pair of bearing plates (24, 26) disposed at the front end of the frame, each bearing plate being flanged to a front end of one of said longitudinal members so that the bearing plates are spaced apart in a lateral direction and a distance between the bearing plates widens towards the front end of the frame. Each end of the traverse member is flanged to a front end of a bearing plate and supports the lower end of one cab suspension member. The cooler suspension comprises two opposed cooler suspension members disposed laterally at the cooler and being flanged onto flat top bearing surfaces of the bearing plates.
