摘要： Trailer suspension apparatus for increasing the cargo capacity of the trailer. The apparatus includes a U-shaped frame having a transverse structure and upright structures at the ends of the transverse structure. The trailer wheels are disposed in the upright structures with the upright structures being at least in part over the tracks of the wheels. The wheels are resiliently suspended from the upright structures. The transverse structure is positioned beneath the rolling axes of the wheels to permit the trailer body to provide cargo space between the wheels and over the transverse structure.

摘要： A wheel suspension system is disclosed which includes a wheel support member pivotally mounted to a vehicle frame, a wheel rotatably mounted to the support member on a stub axle, and an airbag positioned between the wheel support member and the vehicle frame to bias the support member into an intermediate position between a lowermost position and an uppermost position, the rotational axis of the wheel being positioned at or above the cargo floor of the vehicle at least when the wheel support member is in the uppermost position. The suspension system aligns the pivot point wheel mount, and airbag to provide a compact lateral profile, thus providing maximum distance between the wheels and permitting the cargo floor to be supported between the wheels, and in some instances below the rotational axis of the wheels. The wheel support members are typically mounted in one, two or three pairs on opposite sides of the vehicle, either as the exclusive wheels on a trailer, or as the rear wheels of a front wheel drive van or similar vehicle.

摘要： A wheel suspension system 10 is disclosed which includes a wheel support member 14 pivotally mounted to a vehicle frame 12, a wheel 11 rotatably mounted to the support member 14 on a stub axle 16, and an airbag 18 positioned between the wheel support member 14 and the vehicle frame 12 to bias the support member 14 into an intermediate position between a lowermost position and an uppermost position, the rotational axis 17 of the wheel 11 being positioned at or above the cargo floor 26 of the vehicle at least when the wheel support member 14 is in the uppermost position. The suspension system 10 aligns the pivot point 33, wheel mount 16, and airbag 18 to provide a compact lateral profile, thus providing maximum distance between the wheels 11 and permitting the cargo floor 26 to be supported between the wheels 11, and in some instances below the rotational axis 17 of the wheels 11. The wheel support members 14 are typically mounted in one, two or three pairs on opposite sides of the vehicle, either as the exclusive wheels 11 on a trailer, or as the rear wheels 11 of a front wheel drive van or similar vehicle.
