Abstract: A vehicle axle includes, an axle gear unit housing and axle tubes adjoining the latter. The axle gear unit housing has an opening which is surrounded by a flange. Threaded blind bore holes extend beyond the thickness of the flange into the region of the wall of the axle gear unit housing which has radially outwardly on the side of the flange facing the axle gear unit housing a wall thickening which extends annularly radially circumferentially along the flange and which is configured in a continuously annular manner or so as to form spot faces partially in the areas of the threaded blind bore holes, wherein a joint flash extends in a central plane along the axle tubes and toward the flange 4 in the region of the axle gear unit housing and at the flange along the radially outer contour of the wall thickening.

Abstract: In a gantry axle for low-platform vehicles, the gantry transmission consists of one input spur gear (2) operatively connected with a first intermediate spur gear (3) non-rotatably connected with a second intermediate spur gear (4) operatively connected with an output spur gear (5). The vertical distance of the axis of rotation (10) of the input spur gear to the ground (11) is smaller than the vertical distance of the intermediate spur gears (9, 4) to the ground (11).
