A sub-frame for supporting a bowl on a chassis, a mixer assembly including the sub-frame and a vehicle on which the mixer assembly is mounted

摘要

A vehicle for supporting a load on a chassis is disclosed, with particular application to concrete transport trucks. A sub-frame of a support (13) lies across and is fixed to the chassis. A load support frame is pivotally mounted to the sub-frame, with the mounting permitting the load support frame to pivot relative to the sub-frame and chassis in the range of 1-20 degrees. This accommodates flexing of the chassis and reduces fatigue in the load carrying structure.
