Abstract: A mounting arrangement for mounting a loading bunk (3) to a frame beam (2) of a vehicle, wherein the loading bunk includes a horizontal beam (4) and wherein the mounting plate (13) can be moved longitudinally on the frame beam (2) and locked thereto. The mounting plate (13) includes locking means (18) for securing the beam (4) in the transverse direction. The locking means (18) includes shape-conforming latching means (19) for coacting engagement with engagement devices (12) disposed on the beam (4).

Abstract: A vehicle timber bank arrangement having a horizontal supporting beam and generally vertical post assemblies mounted at respective ends of the beam. Each post assembly includes a bottom post anchored firmly to the beam, and at least one top post which is displaceable telescopically to its associated bottom post. A pivotal upper connection member is pivotally mounted at at least the first top post, and at the second top post there is mounted a device for coupling with the upper connection member when this device is in a position in which it connects or binds the two to posts. The upper connection member is swung by a piston-cylinder device which functions to displace the first top post telescopically in relation to the first bottom post. The first top post and the part of the piston-cylinder device which actuates the first top post are coupled together by a rack-and-pinion arrangement.
