Abstract: The invention relates to a running gear structure (4) for a commercial vehicle. The running gear structure comprises a lower transverse strut (8) and an upper transverse strut (9). The lower transverse strut (8) and said upper transverse strut (9) are fixedly connected to each other. The upper transverse strut (9) comprising two recesses (12, 13) which limit a space (14) located above the lower transverse strut (8). The space (14) is open at least in upper direction and dimensioned for accommodating a suspension spring (6). Preferably, an axle body and longitudinal swinging arms (22, 23) of the running gear structure (4) have a skeletal design with a plurality of struts (5). It is possible that the running gear structure (4) is L-shaped in a side view. Here, one leg of the L is formed by a horizontal structure part forming the longitudinal swinging arms (22, 23) whereas the other leg of the L is formed by a vertical structure part forming the axle body.

Abstract: An axle lift assembly includes a vehicle configured to support a load. A slide assembly has a member that is movable along a longitudinal extent of the vehicle. The slide assembly is operable to secure the member relative to the vehicle at a select position along the longitudinal extent of the vehicle. A swing arm has a first end pivotally coupled with the member and an opposing second end biased away from the vehicle. The swing arm is configured to support a wheel assembly with a tire for contacting a ground surface. An actuator is operably interconnecting the member and the swing arm for raising the wheel assembly toward the vehicle to lift the tire away from the ground surface. The slide assembly and the actuator are operable to respectively adjust longitudinal and vertical positions of the wheel assembly relative to the vehicle for accommodating a condition of the load.

Abstract: A piston assembly including an integral piston chamber with an increased volume that is maximized by providing a mounting arrangement whereby the piston can be mounted to a structural member such that the piston chamber surrounds at least two sides of the structural member. A gas damping passage is disposed in fluid communication with the piston chamber and is dimensioned such that pressurized gas transferred through the gas damping passage can dissipate kinetic energy acting on the piston assembly. The piston chamber can therefore utilize space adjacent the structural member to which it is mounted thereby resulting in a piston chamber of a greater volume than prior art designs. A gas spring and gas damper assembly utilizing such a piston assembly is also included.
