A suspended axle (31) of the articulated-connection type for industrial vehicles comprises a central casing (32) from which two arms (34) extend, each of which carries, at one of its ends, a support (36) for a wheel, the axle (31) being connected to the chassis (52) of the industrial vehicle by means of first bars set transversely and second bars set longitudinally with respect to the vehicle, where the transverse bars comprise a Panhard rod (54). In addition, interposed between the axle (31) and the chassis (52) are hydraulic elements (84). The longitudinal bars each consist of a single strut (64) having one end connected to the central casing (32) and one, opposite, end connected to the chassis (52) with interposition of a ball-and-socket joint (68).
