    Abstract: A saddle frame for a pneumatic bulk trailer includes first and second longitudinal saddle plates and at least one transverse support plate. Each of the saddle plates includes a front end, a rear end, an inner side, a generally arcuate upper edge, and a lower edge having at least three portions. Inwardly-directed edge flanges are formed at each portion of the lower edges. The transverse support plate extends between the inner sides of the saddle plates and is supported on an edge flange of each saddle plate. The upper edges of the saddle plates define support surfaces for engaging a pneumatic vessel of the pneumatic bulk trailer. The saddle plates are configured to be coupled to a front chassis frame and a rear chassis frame of the pneumatic bulk trailer.
