  • Publication number: 20040201257
    Abstract: Method and device for providing a suspension for a cab (4) on a vehicle frame (3) having a first element (1) adapted mainly for reducing transmission of shocks/vibrations from the vehicle frame (3) to the cab (4). A second element (2) is included that is adapted mainly for taking up load in the event of, for example, accident situations. The first and second elements (1, 2) are arranged serially in the vertical direction of the vehicle. The device includes means (5) for connecting the cab (4) and the vehicle frame (3), and the first and second elements (1, 2) are arranged on the connecting means (5). The connecting means (5) is connected firmly to the first element (1) and also to the cab (4). The connecting means (5) is connected firmly to the first element (1) and also to the cab (4), or alternatively to the vehicle frame (3). The connecting means (5) constitutes a firm connection between the first element (1) and the cab (4), or alternatively the vehicle frame (3).
