Abstract: A vehicle-carried loader having a loader boom articulated to its front end and a motor suspended at its rear end includes a stiff frame including longitudinal and transversal frame members. The longitudinal lateral frame members arch over the rear wheels and in the middle section of the vehicle run at the level of the vehicle floor adjoining the boarding step. The frame is additionally stiffened by the provision of additional frame parts. The longitudinal lateral frame members each have a front section extending partially over the front wheels, on which the front part of the vehicle is supported. The frame further has a central longitudinal frame member extending between the wheel axles and rearwardly to the rear end of the vehicle. The central frame member is connected directly or by struts to several transversal frame members and has on its bottom axle flanges for fastening the rear axle.

Abstract: A vehicle-mounted loader has a loading apparatus disposed centrally at the front end of the vehicle frame and including a raising cylinder supported on the front end, a dumping beam and quick-change device. The quick-change device is pivotally connected by a dumping rod to the dumping beam which can be actuated by a dumping cylinder. To reduce tipping torque about a transverse axis of the vehicle, the vehicle end of the raising arm is accommodated in a channel-like, forwardly open recess in the front end of the frame. The dumping cylinder is also articulated to the front end of the frame. The raising arm is constructed as a narrow component so that when the arm together with the quick-change device is in a completely lowered position it will be accommodated between the front wheels of the vehicle while, as seen from the side, only the quick-change device will slightly downwardly project out of the space between the front wheels.

Abstract: A compact industrial vehicle, for example in the form of a compact loader, has four steered wheels may be swiveled through 180.degree. between two end positions. The vehicle has a straddling or gantry chassis and the wheels are mounted on straddling axles, whose axle members are placed towards the top of the wheels. Running down from the axle members there are oblique wheel mounting legs ending at the space inside the wheels, in which there is a drive for the final drive step down gearing. Therefore the vehicle is optimally maneuverable while the ground and the tires are not subjected to heavy wear, there are good running characteristics and the driver is able to board the vehicle easily.

Abstract: A motor vehicle with axle pivot steering includes a rigid axle and a steering axle having swivelling wheels. The vehicle frame is made up of a first and a second frame portion each having longitudinally extending beams interconnected by transverse beams. First frame portion extends forwardly of the second frame portion and forms the front end of the frame. The second frame portion extends rearwardly of the first frame portion and forms the rear end of the frame. The longitudinal beams of the first frame portion are located inwardly of the longitudinal beams of the second frame portion and support the rigid axle and the steering axle. The rigid axle is located forwardly of the steering axle. The longitudinal beams in the front portion of the frame are at a level permitting easy access to the driver's seat.
